With six workmen inside and outside the house today, I felt it was safe to leave the bike outside the front gate, one fucking meter from the fence, what with me going in and out all day.
But no, someone ripped the number plate from the metal housing of the bike.
FUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck sake!! Do they come off that easily?
That’s awful. I’d think that getting the plate off would take more than a few minutes? And out there in the open?

They literally snapped the metal license plate holder off the bike. It's integral to the bike and I used nuts and bolts to screw the number plate onto it just to make it more difficult to remove.

The one we've got on the car is very bendy/flimsy....it's bashed already from eejits who when parking just wait until they hit you before stopping. 
That is outrageous. What we’re you supposed to do at that point? Manufacture a reflective vest on the spot?
I hope there was another station nearby.

As I've mentioned in other biker posts, we're obliged to wear a reflective jacket with the license number printed on it as well as the license number printed twice on our helmets, like fucking robots. Anyway, nobody does that, but petrol stations have a sign saying that without a helmet or reflective jacket (chaleco), they won't serves us. A helmet I can understand.
But the rule is not adhered to by most petrol stations and they don't usually enforce it. But when they do, it's usually a little Hitler that enjoys the experience.
Here they turn up with no vest,helmet,reg plate plus half their bike parts missing and get filled up no problem.
I'd love to tell them to fuck off!!

Believe me, I rained Anglo-Saxon upon her until the air turned blue!
This morning I completed the nauseating paperwork and payment to replace my stolen number plate - for the second time (stolen twice).
The bloodsuckers took AR$2681 from me for this luxury and the plate won't even be available for at least three weeks.
I'm also considering changing my bike and anyone who has bought and sold cars in this country knows that it's not a cheap exercise. A police verification alone is $2500 for a bike and $5404 for a car. This is pretty standard when selling your vehicle because most people ask for it to make sure it's not stolen. Only valid for 90 days so it's best to do it when you're sure about selling the vehicle.
Just check out these ancillary charges!
That’s outrageous. You were victimized first by the plate thieves and second by the bureaucracy.

Thats why there are so many road users going about with no license,insurance,tax,etc.etc.etc.
Completely understandable. Not good, but understandable.
How much are you selling the bike for?

Not sure of the exact price yet, but probably US$2500-3000.
Is there a big market for stolen bikes in Argentina?

I'm told that they break them down and sell the parts. The Honda Falcon is the most stolen bike, apparently. (as per the video)
