Default To flip or not to flip?

Anyone running one of these flip plates for fun?

not me. ive also heard of peeps hanging the rear plate on key rings so when you take off the plate flips up and when you stop it hangs down.

Might get one anyway for the occasional power run.Only 25 bucks. Have a friend that was doing alot of riding in Canada with this chick and her friends. Just total high speed runs, they would bend their plate up and blast through tolls. You know the coin deposit kind. So the cameras couldn't write them up.

The key ring idea is better though.

I guess I'm showing my age. This is what gives bike(r)s a bad reputation and why cops get wigged when they see sport bikes in general.

they best thing about this is that LIDAR or whatever has to bounce of something at 90 degree angle and for most bikes the license plate is the only thing at 90 degrees. So you won't get your plate down or will they find out how fast you are going, but thats proly when they are going to bring out a helicopter.

Not showing you age at all Jeff, sure you grab a handful of throttle plenty. It's just a nifty little gadget to play with.

I could see it's usefulness as a bike show gimmick. As far as flipping it up on the street, that's just asking for trouble. I'm with Jeff on this one.
