Blue Plates - White lettering

Are blue plates for motorcycles for dealers only?!
 
Glad to see you're posting Johny.

This topic brought back memories of the old days when the plate colours alternated each year - blue with white one year and white with blue the next. Hmm, when did that stop? 1976?

Trust me you don't well unless you like getting pulled over a lot. When I worked for a dealer we had our own dealer plates and I used to get pulled over at least weekly for it. Either the cop didnt know what it was or asked why I had a dealer plate and then would check insurance and make sure the bike was registered in the dealers name. It was a facking pain in the *** sometimes.

+1... I got pulled over a few times because of it but it doesn't bother me because I'm 100% legit.
However, last time I got pulled over I was driving a car that just got on our lot and the dealer we bought the car from didn't transfer it under our company name. Got a ticket, taking it to court... blah blah blah... It's a hassle.
 
I have what must be a very old/specific Ontario motorcycle plate. It's green with white lettering. A friend of mine found it by the roadside years ago.

I believe green plates are for off-road vehicles. You are thus plated and able to get insurance, but you cannot drive on public roads.
 
It's the same size as an M/C plate and I think there may be a year on it. I'll check when I get back.
 
Maybe a old snowmobile plate from the early 60-70's before we were required to put numbers on the cowls.

Thats just an off road motorcycle plate... I got one along with the ownership, when I bought my CRF50 brand new at a dealer....
