Number plates for bikes
Permalink  

Talking to Cap'n Slow - our beloved and imperious leader...."all hail Cap'n Slow" -  about number plates I decided to look up the rquirements....another bureaucratic minefield but basically this document say's it all.

Motorcycles and Tricycles
There are separate provisions for motorcycles and tricycles. Basically motorcycles 
registered after 1.9.2001 must only display a number plate at the rear of the vehicle.
Motorcycles registered before 1.9.2001 can display a number plate at the front but are
not required to.
Tricycles derived from four wheeled bodies i.e. saloon cars must meet the normal
requirements above whereas tricycles derived from motorcycles must meet the
requirements for motorcycles.
Character height  64 mm 
Character width (except the figure 1 or letter I)  44 mm 
Character stroke  10 mm 
Space between characters  10 mm
Space between groups  30 mm
Top, bottom and side margins (minimum)  11 mm 
Space between vertical lines   13 mm

I've just been outside and measured my new bike's plate and it is as set out in the .pdf file mentioned above which means the minimum size for a plate is 236mm wide by 180mm deep. I'm now looking for a pressed ally plate!
