Plate Stolen
I had my Magician parked in the garage, and I'd taken side panels and exhaust off for maintenance. They were laying on the floor beside the bike. I didn't get around to putting it back together 'til today, so it's been sitting there for a week, cold and raining here every day. Put it together, started it and was warming it up for a ride when I noticed my license plate was gone. Somebody actually came in the garage and stole it.

Could it have fallen off on your last ride and you didn’t notice?

I reported it, and I had to get another plate. I had it bolted on one side with a heavy zip tie holding the other side. The cut zip tie was lying beside the bike.

Getting a plate stolen off a street bike is a pretty common thing and here's why. A guy might have a bike that is a little iffy and can't get a title for it. Or maybe he's like me and doesn't like pulling over for a cop when he knows he can just twist the throttle and be gone in meer seconds.
For a year and a half I rode my KZ650 around with a plate so old it had some rust on it and hadn't been stickered for 7yrs. I had this cop follow me all the way through the city of Marietta and when we stopped at the last light he turned on the lights. I gave him the universal peace symbol and engaged the warp drive. Seconds later he was nothing but an unpleasant memory on an otherwise pleasant day.

Resurrection of this old thread. I just got off the phone with my son. He's using my truck in North Dakota while I'm in Chandler, AZ. It's a 2001 Ram 3/4 ton. His wife was driving the truck a couple days ago because her car needs repair. She noticed that even though a current registration was in the center console, the tabs on the license plates were from 2020. Somebody stole the tabs off the license plates. Probably used a razor blade. Now I think I know who stole both the tabs and the motorcycle plate. Next door neighbor's son is most likely the culprit. When I get back, I'm going to check his plates.
