Finally some proper pics of my bike

[raydin]

Following on my last (and only thread :BLAA, I have made an effort to take some proper snaps. In the mean time I removed the stock mirrors, made a hash of the screw threads, bought bar ends, they were rubbish and didnt work out.
Then I bought some ebay specials and they were a bit better. But I have finally settled on a set of KOSO mirrors. They look quite nice on the bike now.

Still waiting on a Bagster Tank Cover (black) to complete my bike.

Anyway, some pics.

:thumbup:

Ray.

Took me a while to figure out what 'tags' meant. :tard: Number plates to those of us across the pond/Atlantic.

Yeah sorry, I am in the original Birmingham, UK. lol. I will update my user profile.

The plate is HUGE, rubbish UK legislation. I know you can get smaller plates mate, they look a lot tidy, but dont want the Police hassling me. :spank:

Nice bike, but, crikey, those are huge number plates. Nothing you can do about that from a legal standpoint but what is the idea behind making them so BIG?

So they can be read easily from a distance ( I think national UK standard is a minimum of 20 meters). And also that they can be picked on ANPR (automated number plate recognition) cameras, picked up on SPEED CAMERAs. The ANPR system isnt too bad, if the bike gets stolen and the dirty thief is out for a jolly on it, then maybe it will hit ANPR and the cops know the last locality of the bike.

The large plates also act as an air brake.

UK, it all makes sense now! :thumbup:

Our US plates are about 50% smaller and fit 6 characters

So do cars have the same size numerals? Seems a little too much of 'big brother is watching' for my comfort. I know this is how Europe tends to do things though.

That is why you live in Texas and not California.

They have same sized characters and numerals.

The same legislative rules apply.
