Now someone's going to track you down and steal your bike.
Just teasing, of course. I've never understood why some folks mask their license plate on the internet. Do they believe it's possible to identify a vehicle's owner or address from the license plate number? How? Is this information even publicly available?
LongRanger (are you a helicopter pilot?),
A thousand people that live in my area see my plate every time I go for a ride. So a few more see it on the internet. I agree with you, doesn't seem like a problem to me.

I'm not. In fact, I'm a bit fearful of helicopters. The alias was conceived by a riding buddy in the '90's, when I owned a Kawasaki Concours. The bike had a 7.5 gallon gas tank and could be ridden quite a distance before refueling. Today, I organize and participate in IBA long-distance riding events. The alias still seems to fit.
