Licence plate protector...

[demeester]

Bought a cover for my licence plate. Cheap piece of crap - you get 20 degrees or more off-centre, and you can't read a thing...

[Volvi]

So tell us more about it, stick on? where from? how much? is it visible to the cops? legality?

[demeester]

Not stick on - should be mounted with a plate frame or clipped on - screwing it on the way I have can actually affect how well it works.

Picked it up at Southside Motorcycles. $75.

It is perfectly visible from behind, but not on angle. Therefore, not visible to road-side cameras, whether they have flash or not. This, of course, is not a good thing...

Legal, at the moment, I believe. The plate is not "obstructed". Perhaps only a matter of time, though.

However, I only have it installed to protect my plate - from the weather. It is effective.

Southside Motorcycle? Never heard of them! Are they in Melbourne???

[Gazza]

Strike that question.

[demeester]

You may have worked it out, Gazza, but for everyone else, yes, they are in Melbourne, in Chapel St.

[Fox]

.... errr gee Richard - that''s hardly playing fair .. it's not like the police do nasty tricky things to try and catch us ... like unmarked bikes .... oh ...

[Gazza]

You sure that's Chapel St. and not Punt Rd? (according to the whitepages)

[demeester]

Ooops, you're right...

Licence plate, licence plate ? Oh ! you mean number plate !

[demeester]

OK, however, my number plate don't have no numbers...

Maybe I should call it a licence protector
