I was out riding yesterday and I had this woman who kept honking her horn at me. I flipped my visor to see what was going on and she said I lost my license plate a few lights back.

Gotta love good Samaritans! I u-turned and found it a few lights back. I have had the same plate since 1984. It was my second motorcycle plate I had (still have first one as well) so its kinda nostalgic.

I guess i forgot to bolt it on tight after last day I was lapping at the track. It comes off at track.

Going forward I will include that bolt along with all the other "important" nuts and bolts I check periodically before riding.

The only other thing i have lost while riding was a solo seat cover that I forgot to secure on a past sportbike.
 
Nice clickbait, lol.

I actually had a similar encounter last summer when I was going to take my motorcycle license road-test (I was riding on what they call a graduated license for over 8 years lol) and I knew that they did a rudimentary inspection of your bike for legality/safety so I put the stock exhaust and turn signals on.

Anyway, rode in town to do the test and had some guy in a panel van follow me into the testing facility parking lot to tell me I lost a piece of plastic trim off of one of the OEM exhaust cans back about 3 or 4 miles previous.

Did my test, rode back to the area the guy described and there it was, laying on the shoulder.

Love hearing stories about nice people, generally hear the bad ones [emoji106]
