apparently 2"x3" but only if you own the reg A1 :thumbup:

also beware, if you plan to go overseas, some (especially the tallies) are extra vigilant on you wearing a GB badge on the left.
removal of euros may ensue for offenders. :thumbdown:

You don't need a safety triangle for bikes. You must ride on dipped beam, but don't need a beam deflector (like cars). Hi Viz isn't compulsory yet. My GB plate is on my top box (on the TDM) and never been stopped in France by the police, though seen plenty of them. Even when my dipped bulb blew last year they just pointed it out to me.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
