Flip number plates

[kestral]

A few years ago I saw motorcycle with a flip number plate. IE The top part of the plate flipped down to cover the bottom and at the same time revealing different numbers/letters. It was almost certainly a mass produced device of very high quality. Are these flip nuber plates still available? What happend if they are not? Thanks.

Why would you want one unless you were desperate to be involved in consistant illegal activity.

I would think if you get caught with one then you will find yourself with a spell inside for a min of a few months, possible a year. Peverting the course of justice is not something judges are to keen on.

Read the post please it is a question not a request.

My mistake, i took you question on availablility of the nuber plates above to be a request to find one.

Pointless question if you are not going to buy one dont you think.

If you mean this; http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/fliptip.htm the company that made them are no longer in business.

but if you were looking for one, I might know where one could be obtained......

I've got one of these on my bike, of course i've never used it, but it does attract attention from other bikers wanting to see it flip.

Good man. I remember when I first saw one I was impressed. If I had a bike I would certainly want one but I dont think they are legal

If you can ever get to see one in the flesh they are a really good item. But WHY did they stop making them??????

Alternatively, if you are so keen to mislead "the authorities" to the identity of your bike (OH PARANOIA: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING ME) why not just steal the number plate off someone elses bike and use that instead.

And why bother with road tax.

Or insurance.

Or a license.

Or paying taxes...



In fact, lets have a revolution brothers......!





Anarchyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...........

I heard that the company manufacturing these were forced to stop making them. As for the legal issue, they are not the correct size, but like many products, they are not ilegal unless you use them, not sure if that applies to this though. Whether i would get away with it if stopped i don't know but i'd certainly use the 'it's for track days' comment.

I dont want to mislead the " Authorities" nor do I want to be a thief.

Haven't seen the ones that fold in the middle, but almost any US aftermarket kit shop stocks holders that flip the plate into the underside of the tail.

Makes perfect sense to me - ride your bike legally, taxed, insured etc but when you get to a particularly good stretch where you are going to go for it, give yourself some anonymity.

Yeah. Anarchy. rollseyes

No, a champagne socialist with fascist sympathies, an abundance of sarcasm and a keen sense of humour who enjoys poking fun at those who take themselves too seriously.

Oh, and by the way, "your not a pikey" should actually read "you're not..."

With such a poor command of the english language is it any wonder the country is in such a state...

these were mine!!

I invented them.....made them and sold them

Started working on a new version....using LCD technology for the car....got busted, and 2 days later was busted for the bike one too! Not good....and very expensive!!!

Still I sold over 2000 units, glad to hear some are still in action!! Mine was going strong on my old R1 until I sold it a couple of years ago

You should have set up shop in Jersey and posted them in.

In what way were you busted? For using them or making/selling them? I can't see how they could do you for making & selling them?
