This is really bizarre.
Response from the guy who made them this morning....
'All our plates are supplied in white now'.
Err??? Confused dot com.
Think I'm losing the will now....

Harold.....
Have you NI guys switched to white rears?
It's irrelevant to me anyway - I just want a straight spare yellow, just like they supplied last week.
Just curious if you guys have changed your laws - it will kind of back up at least what this chap has claimed.

So if you get a set of plates for a car they are going to both be white ! I think he may be taking the piss.

No Nick he's talking shit our plates are the same as everywhere else white front, yellow rear. Was it the dealer over here that done it for you ? |

Yes mate George Miller Motorcycles.
That's how they supply the plates now, quite plain looking - but again, he may be talking crap who knows?
He says this is how they supply plates on all their new machines, no logos any more like on the originals.
It's a weird experience.....

Quite plain looking fair enough but its white FFS that is not suitable for any motorcyle and they would know that. As to plain plates that is probably true as the law has changed over the last number of years where the plates have to be plain with the plate makers reference on it. As you may know our MOT's are not done by private garages but at government MOT Centres and they have clamped down on fancy plates recently and will fail the vehicle for having anything other than the Reg and plate makers reference on it. We have plates now (on cars) where there is a little bit added on to the bottom which is black and has the dealers details on that bit so the rest of the plate maintains the standard sizes etc.

It's a piss take......and although I am starting to see the funny side........I still cannot understand the problem.
I think they clearly don't like complaints.........if the person doing the second plate had not been so p*ssed up and got the damn thing straight in the machine there would not have been a problem...
How do some businesses survive??

If the correct plate turns up within the week I'll report back all is well and laugh my Y-fronts off..... If not.....they can suck my dipstick.... |

I find customer service here in most bike shops pretty poor Nick I think it's because we don't have a lot of choice over here and they seem to think if you need it you'll buy it anyway regardless of how poor the service is. Keep at them Nick and make sure you get what you paid for.

Strange behaviour though Harold....
I mean someone has purposely made that plate in white and gone to the expense of posting it?
It almost appears a genuine mistake.....although I can't see how.
Maybe the guy had a lot on his plate.......
