I've seen this before, and it all makes sense if you have a superbike...
However - what i don't get is how the hell you wheelie the xt. I've owned other bikes in the past (bandits/fazers etc) and have always managed a decent wheelie...but no matter how hard i try i just can't seem to do it on the xt. I don't know if its the riding position or less torque but it just aint happening for me...any tips from anyone?

But then don't I just get an extra fine for illegal plates?
True, I dislike the large teatray on the back of my bike.
If I was wheelieing up the road, they wouldn't have seen my reg, haha.


..slightly irrelavent, but I was thinking of looking for a reg number that would fit onto one line to have a smaller plate.
