Hi,

Was this any of you guys?? huh? C'mon! Fess up!!

**Louis** · 02-20-2004, 06:27 AM

It could be anyone, don't you all ride with your right covering your license plate??

themeatmanlandry · 02-20-2004, 09:00 AM

I wish I was that smart. I have, though, thought about putting my plate on a hinge, such that I could pull a string when I went by one of those things and flip the plate into an unreadable position.

**Uncle Bob** · 02-20-2004, 09:48 AM

If I tried that I would certainly wreck my bike, no way I have the flexibility.

what does all the rubbish mean in the upper right hand corner?? im guessing the 139 is the speed?

Jonathan · 03-20-2004, 01:05 PM

Something like that, Im guessing.

From him driving on the wrong side of the road, I'm guessing it's Europe, and those are clicks, not MPH.

Looks dangerous.

79GS550 · 03-20-2004, 10:13 PM

clicks??? so how many clicks to a mph??

03-20-2004, 10:37 PM

clicks=kilometers. 1 kilometers = 0.621371192 miles.

139 kph = 86.3705957 mph.

Is that an 'L' plate (learner) that I see?

03-21-2004, 06:49 AM

Looks like it. Must be NZ. (?) Are learner plates used outside of NZ?

DRider · 03-21-2004, 08:24 AM

In NZ, we have L plates for beginner riders. They are yellow with a large black 'L' on them (the plates, not the riders). A learner can only ride a 250cc or less until they get their 'full' license. I reckon this was a local.

gsxrjeffro · 03-21-2004, 11:13 PM

take the power antenna off a car and install it under the seat. put the plate on a hinge and connect the antenna to the bottom of the plate. wire it into a switch and you are ready to go..
