skyrider 0 #1177 October 7, 2010 Laid sideways, like that, hope you like meeting Highway patrolmen that simply say they couldn't read your plate...(they love that excuse) But love the plate....the state fucked me around so long on my "gypsy42" Plate, I gave up!

NickDG 23 #1178 October 7, 2010 I've been stopped three times already! The law reads the plate must be visible from the rear and (whether it is or isn't) is up to the officer's discretion. So far no tickets . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 897 #1179 October 7, 2010 Mine reads "PHATB0B". They always get confused over whether it's a 0 or an O. Given there is a standard rule for certain letters...should be no question. But they ask for insurance papers too...even when the registration clearly states "Insurance not required". Them cops is some smart fellers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 897 #1182 October 7, 2010 Insurance is not required in the state of Florida for motorcycles. I have it - plenty of it. But I chuckle when they ask. Given I typically don't ride with a helmet, I give them my medical insurance card when asked. To ride without a helmet you must be 21 or over and have $10,000 in medical insurance.

Those are those double edge sword type laws, they give you freedom, yet give the police freedom to pull you over , simply for an ID check....My old balding graybearded ass wouldn;t have to worry about it though!

normiss 897 #1184 October 7, 2010 More so when stopped by a rookie and my big mouth won't stop. "license, registration, and insurance please" here's license and registration, but you can't ask me for insurance" "why not" (extreme cop attitude in tone) "because insurance isn't required on motorcycles in Florida" SINCE WHEN???? (serious cop attitude now in full effect - meaning I'm getting a ticket anyway) fuckers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickDG 23 #1193 October 10, 2010 I was blasting up the 210 FWY last night, coming home from Port Hueneme, and I'd been on Nina about hour and a half and something didn't feel right. I made it all the way home before realizing Nina's license plate holder and tail light had broken off. No, not where I welded it, but where I bent the mount for it. It dinged up the frame pretty good. I guess I didn't hear it clanging away back there as I just peeled away from a pack of bikes I was riding with and was pretty much deaf. Up on the freeway, where I think it initially broke, it must have been throwing sparks like crazy while the only thing holding it on was the wires. If it had kicked up into the chain it would have really sucked. Also fixing a few other things while I got Nina naked. NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyrider 0 #1194 October 12, 2010 Coming in a day late, but I am guessing it broke in the usual spot, (the 90 degree bend) a triangle gusset will fix that probelem forever! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickDG 23 #1197 October 13, 2010 Fixed Nina's left hindquarters, the seat issue too I think, as I went with shorter springs . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickDG 23 #1198 October 14, 2010 Got Nina buttoned back up today. I went with the shorter springs but have the back end of the seat sitting higher so maybe I can stay on this time? I also closed off the electronics's pod (really just the main bus bar, LOL) with a roof I made as the old seat did that job without a cover. I also repaired the damage the errant plate holder did to the frame and repainted the rear fender. Still have a few wires and such to cinch up, but I'll test her out tomorrow as it's my birthday today (!) and it took too many beers to fix Nina already . . .

skyrider 0 #1200 October 15, 2010 Shorter springs look much better! After years of sliding off solo seats, I started building mini bitch bars that bolt to the spring mounting bolts, it is amazing how much a 2 inch tall back stop can help and make riding more relaxing! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/onekick/myknuck.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
