Always with the damn number plate and indicators biggrin.....

...It's started to become the sign of a truly good days riding.

Really not sure how it happened this time. One minute it was all there, the next it was gone biggrin.

The number plate really was totaled and i wonder if i could have potentially bottomed out on some rather large and ambitious jumps. Not sure, but another push this weekend in the direction of sending my forks and particularly shock over to Travis at Go Race in the U.S  during this coming Christmas time.

It's got to have been caused by the number plate catching on the tyre. Can you bend the support out a tad more?

I really do think so too. Particularly as the plate seemed to be broken inwards. If it had been caught on some brush or the likes of,  it would've been snapped outwards.

Thanks for the bend support tab out suggestion. Great idea to aid from happening again before shock and forks surgery can happen smile

 

Cheers Brian.

P.S Would be fantastic if we were legally allowed to use flexible enduro plates on the road. Slightly smaller even.....Grrrrrr frustrated.gif.

....You lucky old lot in the U.S

I run a full sized flexi plate on the TTR and never had any bother from the men in blue. Just put the rigid one on for MOTs.

I also run a full size flexi plate with the legal production details. Cost about £8.00. Seems to be indestructible, and I do fall off a lot.

Nice one on the flexi plates and lots of falling off everyone...

It sounds like our bikes really do get put through their paces and used as they should be. Unlike an immaculate KTM 690 parked in front of the supermarket without a scratch on it... lol   biggrin

I use a slightly smaller flexi plate with full size numbers and letters.  It's just the border that's cut down a bit.  Been through mots everytime without a mention.

Thanks to one and all for the encouragement and advice as always.

I should have a flexi plate (boarder cut down) to me within a few days, but for now already fighting fit and looking fresh again.

 

Who loves ya,

Grassroots.
