A cop would pull him over in a second for that.th12t33n said:

The entire point of the thing is to allow you to get out of trouble, if it's something that will actually get you a fix-it ticket all by itself it kinda defeats the purpose.

xactally i couldnt agree with you more though... the reason i didnt take the key rings off was because once they was already on, they were a bitch to get off, i ended up cutting them with bolt cutters when i got the new plate lol (yeah i rode with the plate he left me didnt even think about it till one day it occured to me)..not that it was a smart thing, that was just it in my case, and not that the police in your area wont stop you, they just didnt in my case.

Agreed.....don't even bother. If I stop a bike with hide-away plate, light kill switch, etc, it is a guaranteed ticket. Running from the police will get you killed or put in jail, it's NEVER worth the risk.
If you absolutely must have a plate that moves, just get a small metal hinge for the plate and a servo motor from an RC car / airplane. Run it to a switch on the dash and you're golden. I will save an "I told you so" for when that shit get's you in trouble.
Good luck...

Never worth the risk? I guess that's a matter of who you are asking.LiterTwin said:
Aren't you the same guy that wrote all that stuff about how riding your bike is going to get you put in jail because you can't stay at a reasonable speed on your 200 mph machine? Seems a little hypocriticle to go around speeding and then hand out tickets and lectures to others doing the same thing. That's the kind of things that make it worth the risk right there.

I imagine some hypocrisy could be perceived from those posts, so allow me to clarify....1989cbr said:
Speeding a little here and there is completely different from running from the police, and outfitting a bike specifically to do so. The posts about speed on the Hayabusa were about the experience of riding, since you very obviously missed the point on that one.
AND, since it appears that you didn't actually READ my post in this thread, I'll remind you that I never mentioned citing or lecturing anyone for speeding, only for equipping a bike to elude the police. I actually can't remember the last time I wrote a motorcyclist a ticket for speeding, it's been that long.
An experienced rider who chooses to speed within their abilities is an entirely different animal from a dumbass squid who puts lives at risk by running from the police, at the bleeding edge of their abilities, and the bike's. THAT is why such hardware on a bike is going to be immediately frowned upon by law enforcement, me included, while said experienced rider will probably just get a warning for speeding. See the difference?
Yes, I speed a little...hell, I speed a lot. But I choose my roads and times of day carefully, and I make sure visibility & conditions are right.
I don't, however, run from the police and put innocent lives and police officers at unnecessary risk. Ever. Which, in case you missed it, makes my opinion and the related statements totally free of hipocrisy.
Thank you for this excercise in correcting your flawed rationale. Please try again.

I went ahead and corrected your grammar and usage errors in the quote, since I didn't want to litter my post with that nonsense. My actual reply is as follows:1989cbr said:
How in the hell does my opinion about anything, hipocritical or otherwise, make running from the police more or less worth the risks involved? You completely lost me on that one......
I suppose that what you meant probably didn't quite translate to what you typed, so I'll check back in a few hours.

RC motor? it'd be nice, but how about an easier solution: a spring (the kind that works on rotation, like the one on your throttle) and a latch. Run a bit of string to somewhere where you can reach it, and when you pull the string you release the latch and the spring pops the plate up. Maybe run another string to lower the plate back down.
Don't get me wrong, I completly understood the post I was referring to and I actually thought it was great. Point is, you admitted to speeding. That is in no way legal on the street, I don't care how careful you are. That excuse would not get me out of a ticket around here. If I was doing anything even close to 20 over I'd probably go to jail. Therefore if one has a chance to run it may be worth the risk for them to do so. Nowhere did I say if may or may not be dangerous. That's not the argument.
I just find it amusing that you guys are just like the rest of us in choosing what laws to obey and when.
Maybe my view on officers are a little skewed because of what I've seen in my area. They are out to get you. They are making money hand over fist at $150 for 1 mph - $188 for 10 over. They just cruise and ticket. They'll follow you and just wait for you to screw up.

What the hell are you talking about? This thread isn't about speeding, it's about putting something on a bike that serves the explicit purpose of making it easier to run from the cops and get away with it.1989cbr said:
But since we're talking about it, speed limits exist for a reason. Either obey them or ignore them, but don't bitch about tickets if you are speeding.
