If his plate was concealed, he should have just left them in his dust.It didn’t say what he was riding, but a lot of the Jap bikes have a plate placement that is unreadable.No way a cop in a car is going to catch one if they run

I wouldn’t be too sure. It depends on what size it is. 650 or 750 yes, but a 1100 or bigger no way in hell. For the hell of it, I out ran my brother on my Vrod - 1130cc, both of us were shocked at just how fast that thing is.

Not from the factory they don’t. I live in Dallas and ride primarily Japanese bikes and all of them came with the license plate clearly visible below and/or behind the taillight per the DOT and import regs, often mounted to a rear fender or splash guard. Those bikes you see with the hard to see plate mounting location have had a ‘fender relocation kit’ or ‘fender eliminator installed. They definitely didn’t come like that from the factory or the dealer.

By the way, right or wrong, the cops do have the legal option to not issue you a citation and to take you to jail instead, with your vehicle impounded pending investigation or simply to take it into custody. It is legal.
