A keen motorbike owner is nearing the end of a 3 year restoration on his classic machine. He goes onto a forum discussion to ask about the costs involved in getting the compliance, inspection and tax done. VIN, WoF and rego.
Someone replies with..
'Put a false plate (from another bike) on it and just ride. The number of miles is negligible as it is only a hobby bike. The chances of an accident are slim as you will be riding carefully on the expensively restored bike.
As a bonus if you do get caught then the fine will probably be less than what all the other costs are going to come to over the years anyway. It saves a lot of drama and may be cheaper.'
I am sure there must be people about that feel the original question has been answered...
Fortunately for us, pilots have more sense.
