Same as Mr C.
I have a private plate that the wife got me.
M3DYC.......(I work as a medic, but reckon the plate reads more like ME DICK.....haven't got the heart to tell her she thought she was being original)
I have a rediculously small plate on the back of mine and got the £30 fixed penalty pull in the summer.
Asked the copper if he wanted to save himself the hasssle of all the paperwork and just stick the 30 quid in his pocket.............talk about a total sense of humour failure
Got the letter from DVLA as well, gently reminding me that the plate officially still belongs to them and they can retain it at anytime and put the bike on an 04 plate should i get stopped again.
My reason for the small plate?
I think the back end looks hidious with that stupid big metal bracket hanging down off the exhaust so i had Berto whip it off and modify it.........no other reason, the plate is clearly visible, the bike is brand new they can rip it to bits all they want.
