Here is the scoop.
My girl and I were parked on the north side of Danforth near Carlaw to have lunch a Christana's.
When we sat on the patio I noticed a marked SUV pull up behind our bikes, I thought nothing of it.
After lunch we walked toward our bikes and when he noticed us he got out and came to speak with us.
The issue was our under tail, plate holder, tidy tail or whatever the plate relocator is called.
We have the GIXXER BOY's kits for Gsxr 600/750.
He informed us that our license plates were mounted illegally according to the HTA and we need to replace them with the stock units for our bikes.
He said this was a pet peeve of his because red light cameras, his dash cam and 407 cameras may not read our plates as they are too far under the tail. He also said has lit up people with these and they just took off and his dash cam was not able to read the plate.
Then he said he was going to call our insurance company and report this to them. WTF?
He took our names addresses and a detailed description of our bikes, helmets and riding gear.
I replaced my girls under tail with another one that's right at the back of the bike but there is no way I'm putting a stock one on. I'm not changing mine at all, this is the first time a cop had a problem with it.
He said all we need to do is take pictures of our bikes with proper plate mounting at the rear most part of the bike and show the prosecuter.
Then he decided not to ticket us but give us a warning so the next time a cop runs out plate it better be corrected.
He is from 54 division and drives a marked SUV.
This guy has a hard on for every bike but especially bikes like sport/ sport touring types because he didnt catch one who choose not to stop.
Your tax dollars hard at wok people.
