      I've re-VIN'd a Ducati frame before, it wasn't for nefarious reasons, but to save money, because it would prevent us from needing to re-register it and get a new plate.
      Gjuy had a precise stamp-gun thing that he could give the order of the letters, symbols and numbers, and it would stamp in the new vin, like new.
      kept us the plate and the money, destroyed the old frame just in case some government official does some poking around and realises that our generation of Ducati SuperSport 600 (1994) isn't supposed to have frame-braces at the steering-head.

      - folding with cable (e.g. motorcycle but going down instead of up)

In some areas in the fall, leaves applied with something a little sticky but not too sticky would work. Not sure about spring. Where I live it's mud 90% of the year with a little slush or dry dirt the other 10%.

Not only were they hard to read and blinded people when lights reflected on them (the popos had trouble reading the plates at night), they also started peeling within a few months! I'm pretty sure the province switched back to the old white plates with blue lettering. They were God awful looking.

      I was told that speeding is strictly controlled in most Scandanavian countries and that they are loaded with speed trap cameras. If you go even 5km over the limit, you will get fined and possibly lose your license for going 20km/hr over. Is that true? (A Norwegian told me this). I'm also Canadian. Had snow cover my plate in the back a few times (certain provinces require plates in the front and back) but it never was an issue. (It's technically illegal and you can be fined but you would probably get a warning). I wish they were covered when I got caught by camera going 70km/hr in a 50km/hr zone!lol

      Thats a cool idea. assuming the timing could be near instantaneous which i would say is possible. what's basically impossible tho is differentiating between headlights and camera flash. also some cameras dont flash. just like these cameras, the rear flashed a tiny amount which would be near indistinguishable from a street light or headlight etc.
