Bloody hell, that's rich.
I really hope he takes it to court - that counts as harassment.
I just learned I'm a criminal, for taking my label off the back and putting it on the side.

I have found, that the cops who actually care about these things aren't into vehicles at all, let alone bikes. They're the ones who believe a car is to get you from point A to B, and no money at all should be spent on it, instead the money should be spent on a new pocket protector for their business shirt. The ones who let things like that go, providing you're not a rude prick, are the ones who love 'works of art' on wheels.....

yep usually seems like luck of the draw when being pulled over.
I know what you are talking about Hugh, some Officers are fair, some will look for everything they can.

The mounting location in Qld is a little different, we can have it mounted in on the rear or on the left of the Vehicle. (Curbside) I will say I do take notice when looking at a bike cruising along, there are a lot more Rego tubes appearing on Bikes up here in North Qld, So it would be interesting to see how that develops with our over Zealous Traffic Branch constantly annoying Bike Riders. But in about 8 weeks I am out the door!  |

I was riding home from work yesterday and got pulled up for an RBT at the Berowra RFS HQ.
The female officer points out my rego tube to her compratiate and says "Wow, that's awesome and so nifty, I'm going to get me one of them for xmas and one for my brothers dirt bike too!"
Her partner then said "they are quite common and most people have them mounted on their number plate" I thought I was going to get pinged when he said that, but they let me go.
My tube is mounted on my pillion peg bracket, but it is strategically angled (and not purposely hidden or obscured) so that all the relevant info is angled up and easily read whilst standing next to the bike. Maybe that helped, who knows.

in victoria it has to be on the lh side of the vehicle. i pointed out (in jest) to the cop riding one of the police bmw we used to service that the rego label location on that bike (under the plate) was illegal. his reply was a shrug and the comment "you'd have to be pretty hard up to book someone for that" or the like.

Heh! It HAS happened! (Was in conjunction with some other infringements after some stupid tomfoolery on the riders part!  ) |

Well Merry Xmas from the NSW to you then! I was rather worried when we were RBT-ed the other weekend in the Mountains. Unfortunately one of us did get pinged but it was un-related to bike or bling. |

Matty, we thought it was 'bike or bling' ... we were just trying to work out who was going to cop it the worst.
Glad these things are gaining some more acceptance with 'that lot' ... as there is a couple more in the post at the moment.

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.
