road tax?

[fazersharp]

I dont think having no tax would do anything for your insurance but I wouldnt bet on the insurance company seeing it that way.
Its just an outdated law. The whole displaying a valid one is so back in the days when police cars went ne-nah and not woo woo, you could get away with saying oh its at home officer, now with the database they just check that like the ANPR does.

What I still want to know is can i take off my tax disk in october or will I have to keep it untill next time I renew in May 2015 I will still be on the database as I am now

They dont check every single car/bike infront of them, just if they dont like the look of you or you are riding like you just robbed tescos

[CRH]

why would you want to remove it, does it really trouble you being there?
Not even sure I'll be arsed removing when expired and if you have a classic doesn't the tax disk form part of the charm

Yeah, if you want to avoid getting a tug definately do NOT ride in black/white stripey jumper, and leave the "SWAG BAG" luggage at home.

150- 200gs lighter (including holder)
Its just an extra bit that wasnt designed for the bike and dont like it, im just funny like that. There is no where good to put it and it dont go with the bike ------ just look at it !!!
maybe if I kept it i would do a black and white one

Strange really how no one has ever seemed to come up with the idea of putting the disk on the windscreen like cars.
Until now and when it's too bloody late :'(

Cause they can be nicked and then we are back to being had for not displaying.
And that is why we have alloy tax disk holders with 15 minni bolts in them so that they are an arse to nick

knew that would come up and rightly so but the screen has bolts and why not make and add on to fit behind the clocks at bottom of clear screen.  As for stealing them I don't think it much of a problem these days and as such a reason for doing away with them altogether. Maybe

Yep I would of had one of those, too late now as they are going.

Yes shame really,  I just looked at the foxeye fairing and there looks to be a perfect housing for it
