1200GS Adventure - Where do you put your tax disc?

[cookie]

if you can get away for decades with keeping a tax disc in your pocket, why worry about it getting nicked?

Go on.....................tell us where you display yours on your TwinCam

I put mine on the back of the left cilynder, simply uncrewing the the bolt of the aluminium cover. It doesn't get much dirty.

I have seen some dealers attaching it to the windscreen, it looks awful IMHO!

all i'll say is, there's a really neat place to put it on a twin cam, that doesn't exist on the earlier models

I keep mine rolled up in three quarters of a yellow Bic pen outer with the end without the wee black plug sealed with a wee black plug from another Bic pen.
Seal up the tiny hole in the side of the pen casing with something. It is impossible to cut a Bic pen outer and get rid of the hole in the side. Its about half way down.
Modern bic pens do not have this hole in the side, but are unsuitable for the purpose. Only use pre 2004 bic pens, the yellow one. Some might say its orange, but I think its more of a yellow.
Slide the assembled ( and sealed) unit up your arse using a little ky jel for ease of entry. Do not be surprised if you get a pleasing sensation during this action. It does not mean that you are homosexual.
During normal defication, the unique shape of the Bic pen actually stays in place in the anal canal allowing the waste bodily matter to pass by undisturbed.
With practice, the assembly can quickly be removed when asked by a police person/ traffic warden or anyone else with the relevant authority, to produce proof of vehicular taxation.
I myself have 'tax disk tube assemblies' for several of my bikes in my anal canal at this very moment and experience no discomfort whatsoever.
It keeps them safe from prying theiving eyes, and saves them lying around in drawers etc. It also provides a green alternative for disposal of Bic pen outers when the internal ink tube has run out.

Will that work for 1150 tax disks as well as 1200s?

I know what you are saying but wouldn't a clear/transparent bic outer be more suitable for when the Law needs to see the contents? Or is there some issue with disolveability when in said cavity?

Hi, can you tell us how much the stealer charged, please. I am worried that fellow Tossers will be ripped off. Many thanks in advance; this is a great site

Thread kill time, once I post on it.

Mine came with a cheap tin one on the head guard cover near my left foot. Looked wonky and cheap so got one of those tube ones. The bit with the hole was just a little to thick to get the screw to seat properly in the hole in the head and after gaffing about with the little alu spacer a couple of times, I've moved it to the front pannier mounting bolt, just below the seat lock.

There, factual, boring but might be of use to someone.

It'll probably get pinched, and I'll have my pannier rack fall into the wheel one night chucking me under a skip lorry.

Phew! I'm glad that's sorted out...

 

[oblertone]

For what it's worth ...

... the law (apparently) states it has to be on the nearside and in front of the riders position


For the last three years mine have been stuck to the fridge in my kitchen with an amusingly shaped magnet

Lots of useful suggestions. I'm glad we've helped the OP.

Right, now the Tax is sorted, time for the Adventure

So you spend all that money on a BUMW and you have to tax it too




Next you'll tell me the rear wheel fall off after 14000 miles
