Poor Service

Well, ordered a number plate for a bike I've imported. Ordered online on Thursday last week from fancy plates in Tyrone. Still no fecking plate! emailed them-no response. Caled them, fella says he'll check it out and call me back-never did. Anybody else have experiences with them?

I can't ride the bloody bike without a bloody number plate ffs! :mad:

Keep ringing him and e-mailing him, if you plague him he'll just want to get rid of you and should sort you out.:)

Why didnt you just go to your local motorfactors? Surely they have the smaller plates for bikes?

Any bike dealer should be able to do up a stick-on-number bike plate on the spot for a few euro.

Stick-on numbers are illegal but it's what nearly every dealer supplies with a new bike... also you're lucky if they put more than a litre of petrol in :eek:

I always put embossed metal plates on my bikes, Mountjoy Motorcycles do them in a day or two and are reasonably priced

BTW the minimum legal size for a bike plate is approx 5x7 inches (i.e. half the width and half the height of a standard truck plate) there is a PDF on the Revenue site somewhere which gives the measurements. The statutory instrument governing plates says that on a bike, all of the specified measurements can be reduced by up to 50%.

Most people in your situation would just continue to ride it on the UK plate, if stopped I couldn't see anything coming of it if you can prove the VRT has been paid and you're just waiting on the plate.
