In the filing cabinet at home along with the ones off the other bikes. Do you really want a photo? :smile:

fined depends on the policeman that stops you, much as i hate to display it on my bike i do, cos i got stopped last year without my paper disc and got a 80 pound fine for not displaying.
overall I think leniency is common here but (off topic) I saw a motorbike policeman standing a couple of yards away from a handwritten cardboard numberplated Suzuki at Boxhill yesterday!
Having a tax disc displayed is arbitrary these days in the world of technology. A simple check on the PNC will reveal all your details of what you do or do not have. Even when you apply for a tax disc online it checks that you have MOT and insurance.... There is simply no need to have one displayed, and the masses know it. Insisting on having one displayed is antiquated, pointless and nothing more then an excuse to levy a fine for something that's dumb. If cars had to display documentation on the outside of their vehicle you would have seen a radical change years ago. I keep an empty tax disc holder on my bike and if stopped my reply would be,,"someone must have stole it" who would have thought, having paperwork stuck to my vehicle would invite theft. For that same reason is why pay and display car parks are free to bikes... But even they are getting savvy and are going to machines where you pay by mobile phone against your registration number. The need to have one displayed ceased years ago, however the reason for dragging their heels in making it paperless, in my opinion, is that it keeps people in employment. I believe it is a DVLA requirement , not a legal one. Which explains the self preservation of delaying the electronic role out, whatever that is. What is there to actually change ? Procurement and the ability to electronically check is already here.... Sorry for the rant but this really grips me.
Had my 1100 since Friday, only problem I've had was where to put the disc as I've been chatted about it before Bought something called a gel holder, sticks in screen 350 miles done. Awesome bike
Having a tax dic displayed is to the core of good pro active policing. its a starter for ten on a variety of 'coppers nose' directions.........no tax disc displayed, got to be worth a stop.
