What do you think the odds of me getting pulled over are if I don't have my plate on?

Just go grab a local dealership plate card or what ever they call them.... I've done it several times even on old bikes for a while and was okay...
 
Should of mentioned, I have the plate, but the bracket is broken and waiting for replacement in mail. Maybe I could just carry the plate with me and explain if I get pulled over.

Or just make a run for it!! :laughing
 
I currently have plans on Saturday, but if they fall through, then I will totally be there.

You still have your old plate right??

Bring it over to my house, I will starighten out :twofinger
 
Ah, Palomares was the road I crashed on. Already soloed it since but it'll be nice again. Beautiful road when you're not looking at it from a ditch. xP
 
I have ridden Palomares three times in the last two weeks now... and have seen a bike cop each time... watch it LEO is prowling around there...
 
yes spring time good weather brings out the popo.

I'm very likely in, but going slow in the straights due to ^^^
