GolfVenture Posted October 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2011 Why do some cover up the licenses plate before showing a picture of their bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted October 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2011 I really dont know some people do that, but sometimes when uploading a picture of a car or a bike to a website they wont accept until you block the licence number. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zak202 Posted October 19, 2011 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2011 I have heard some people say it is because they don't want the 'wrong' people to be able to obtain where they live by getting information from the license plate info. This is the same reason yo will see it blurred on TV and the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted October 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2011 Yep, just a way of protecting yourself from some riff raff. Tracing a plate number not only leads to where the bike may be parked or stored but can also lead to a shop filled with tools and other items of interest to a person with no respect for what you own.

VanHarlan Posted October 19, 2011 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2011 Always thought the practice was a bit unusual myself . . . considering everyone on the road following you can see & read it . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Venturous Posted October 19, 2011 Share #7 Posted October 19, 2011 My impression is that up to lately some states would give you the address of a plate number for $5 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
