When will I be caught?
 
My motorcycle license plates expired in May-2003. I've already put 190 miles on it in the last week. How long do you think I can keep riding it before I get pulled over? And what will they do when they stop me?

Those tags are really small on a bike. I bet they can't even see 'em.

Plus, don't they start using the colors over again on the little stickers? I bet they have come back around again.

And those windy mountain roads require too much attention for the cops to be squinting at your tags.

I say never.

A guy I worked with years ago made it five years on expired tags. I honestly don't think he'd have been caught if he wasn't using an obsolete plate style. oh yeah, and he was drunk enough to sideswipe a parked cop. i think he'd have been fine otherwise.

I figure with the big upsurge in moth-balled bikes getting back in service a crack down on expired registrations is coming. But odds are you can slip by the rest of the season.

I think you won't get caught until you get pulled over for something else... so I give it a month. :)

heehee, an ex got pulled over and it was discovered he had purchased a sticker for his motorcycle and put it on his car. Uh, duh!

I don't think you will be caught until you are unlucky enough to have a cop pull up behind you on your bike at a stop.

lol! This sounds a little like the game I played with the gas tank yesterday. It's just, well, dumb and I know it.

I had an expired driver's license for about three or four years and was only tagged with it on three occasions. Twice in air ports and once in a restaurant trying to get an alcoholic drink.

I got an email today...

That's ridiculous. All of that information is available through computers. Why do you need to carry pieces of paper? This is the 22nd century, isn't it?

Call it a tax on the forgetful. Gotta offset those budget cuts somehow.

Everytime when I notice that this thread has new posts, I have to come and see whether you got caught or not... :)

Flint 08-08-2008 04:05 PM

Did he get caught?! . . . oh . . . nevermind . . .

HungLikeJesus 08-08-2008 04:06 PM

Yeah, me too.
