What have you done on your bike today?

I had to stick a legal plate over my usual one earlier in the year, just with a couple of stick tabs.

Forgot about it, and went for a ride - never seen it since. Pisses me off because I'll have to buy a new, legal plate for the MOT next year.

We don't get to faff about with our plates here. They are a stamped aluminium type and if you lose it you get a new one with a different number. Unless it is a personalised plate, in which case you would have to order and wait for it. And it would be pricey I bet

It was the same number, just on a larger, legal style plate.
We can buy a plate online to whatever style and size you want. But for the annual MOT we need a legal plate. When I bought the bike I bought a more aesthetically pleasing version as becomes the Speedie, and obviously still had the big ugly one it came with.
My normally lenient MOT guy said it might be a problem, so I got the original one and stuck it on, and my MOT guy was happy again.

So I guess your number plates are issued to the person and not the bike?

Yeah I am familiar with how it works in the UK. And no, the plates are issued to the bike with the exception of personalized plates which can be transferred from one bike to another, or car, and can also be transferred to a new owner of the plate. I had to get new plate for my Laverda when in the UK as it was delaminating or similar…
 
Todays work completed.....winter tyres back on. Replaced TP sensor on the RSV4 and re-calibrated. Upped the security a little bit and fitted a motion sensing outside light that points down over the front garage door.

Tomorrows work will be round my mates house sorting out some issues on his RSVR.

Had a great couple of hours out this afternoon; a bit of bimbling, and bit of razzing.
I stopped at one point to watch a buzzard eating something about 30’ into a field.

I was turning round at a usual spot when I noticed the local sky divers had jumped, so I raced the plane back to get a photo of it as it comes in to land. It’s about 3 miles from where I was.

First pic you can see it if you zoom in - it comes down about 45 degrees and banks to get on line
