Sorry mate but they didnt refuse you. They had no option, they have to comply with the rules, they have to fill in the database and log every plate they sell. You cant expect them to break the law for you can you?

Got mine at the bike show cost £15.00 took 10 mins

rockhopper · 17-Oct-2004, 22:35

Yeh, i got a non legal one easily on the net as well.

deej · 17-Oct-2004, 22:35

no but whats more personal than bike documents,a passport and a driving licence, i mean how important is a silly gas bill, will they accept that customs NO but will they accept a passport YES the law makers in this country are stupid, 2 genuine forms of i.d should be enough

its really annoyed me as you can tell

all i wanted was a legal requirement number plate

rockhopper · 17-Oct-2004, 22:37

Ah but thats not the shops fault is it? I know you are annoyed and i understand why but the shop was only obeying the law.

deej · 17-Oct-2004, 23:16

yeah, its the law thats the main problem, i just cant get my head around wanting a gas bill instead of a passport, strange law in my opinion

cheers

I always use Mal plates, they will only sell you a show plate with out you providing them with ID, but if your sensible and go for the plate size just 1/2" down on the legal one it looks near enough right and isn't a blattant two fingers up at the coppers.
Failing that just get them done in the Isle of Man, no ID required and nice 3 legged loggo on one side.

cheers skidlids, thats my paln, nothing over the top, the pipes draw enough attention to thebike without a ridiculously small plate too.
i just want/need 1 that i can add my website address to the base of and make it legal to ride the bike again

cheers
