Capcha Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 He said the cop chased him down at 160, not he was going 160. My apologies. I'm ****less dumb for not reading properly
King_Crispy Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 It is fair enough to fine you if your number plate is not visible. To pay the fine or not is your choice. The bottom line is that you are a law abiding motorist that received a fine whilst attempting to adhere to the law. Totally unlike all the windgatte on their superbikes in Bloem. It appears as if in Bloem if you ride a superbike you dont need to obstruct the visibility of your number plate, you just dont put a number plate on the bike! That then grants you the right to ride at 200kmph on the N1. Ride like a total tool in the city and give anybody the middle finger if they have any issues with this. Probably the same all over the country.Jhb yes. KZN no. If you're caught in Durban without a plate on they impound your bike on the spot
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Pretty simple to attach a plate to a hang on bike rack. 1 times 90 degree steel corner bracket 2 holes and a couple of nuts n bolts. Hey presto.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Buy a roof rack next time. That's what i use. That, or the back seat

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) that's what she said... ROFL. True. It's where I put it... Edited May 1, 2012 by cptmayhem
goya-goya Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Buy a roof rack next time. My brother bought one of those... TWICE he rode his bike into the roof!!! the second time he did it with my bike on the roof rack too!-luckily the bikes were not damaged the second time. If you get a roof rack... make sure you know your bike is up there... He had to get his roof fixed twice... insurance paid more than R70K both times.

goya-goya Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 weirdest thing is that he even had this whole system to remind him when he put the bikes up there... But old age is a bi-aaaaaaatch! You only need to forget once.
goya-goya Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Like this? worse!... these roof racks look pretty sturdy... the whole roof caved in... the first time, the back window exploded!
milky4130 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Go and look here to make your own...... http://www.bicycling.co.za/bikes-gear/maintenance/how-to-build-your-own-trailer-board/ I have one made by Holdfast. Remember the law also applies to obscuring your rear light cluster. Some has remarked it is a stupid law. Not stupid at all...... how would you fel if a car rear ended you becuase he did not see your lights. Bikes gone, no claim against insurance and possible loss of life. Go think again about your stupid statement!!!!!!! DIY!? Me!? Pffff!! Seriously where can one buy it made already?
Trail Snail Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I always believe in the KISS Principle - Keep It Simple - Stupid. Cheap but effective....and we are not financing a corrupt system...
jmaccelari Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Both my old Geoff carrier and my new Thule one have places for number plates. I use them and have never had a problem. I don't see the point of this post. You failed to ensure your vehicle was roadworthy and got bust. Now you're blaming someone else? Since when have we been living in America?
Big H* Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I always believe in the KISS Principle - Keep It Simple - Stupid. Cheap but effective....and we are not financing a corrupt system... You will still get fined...... for obscruring your rear lights
