The URL above is the second one. Because of the angle on the firs photo I posted, the plate wasn't visible. Note the license plate to the left of the swingarm. I don't know how legal it is, but in Michigan some customized bikes have the plate to the left of the swingarm. Don't know why this is done. I assume that the bike to the front had the license plate mounted similarly. Datesfat

Trouble with that is it leaves enough room to encourage a car driver to squeeze into the slot. That usually doesn't end well. -- Beav

He's not learned that trick yet, so running from Plod wasn't the cause. >I don't see a plate on the red one, etiher. Have another look. -- Beav |
