Vintage tax discs

Folks,
Bit of fun, I found the locations and dates where my bikes were 1st taxed, by some tightarse (which could have been any of us on low pay) for just 4months which you could get back then, and Bill Blackmore makes fascimiles for you in the correct year colour and format. Nice touch making the dealer stamp for the GT380B.
Probably, no one but me will notice, but its a lo cost smile.
Cheers,
Mike

John,
Ditto for me - I have spares for each bike. Nice touch, I suppose the cost of making these is mostly the labour in setting up the stamps and not the paper. Good to have at least one spare for the unlikely event I get caught in the rain and spoil my pristine tax disc :lol:
That'd be the least of my problems!

There are a couple of dumb ideas still lingering around countries in the world and tax discs were one of them. Being a former British Colony Barbados still uses this silly idea, thankfully the upright front number plate died a natural death due to the way modern bikes are designed. Having an accident with a pedestrian with an upright front number plate will not be pretty, especially if its a child. I like the North American idea of the tax decal afixed onto the rear plate, and speaking of rear plates, why is the UK still using such a huge plate on a bike.

They're trying their best when it suits the suits, if you know what I mean. :roll:
