Rob, this was the International Motorcycle Show in Ft. Worth. Demo rides in the infield. Austin is about three hours south. Weather was sunny, and mid-80s.

Jlq, all those observations were correct, but, didn't do any good narrowing down of the list of suspects on scene. Needle in a haystack.

Next time, take a picture of the license plate ... it would simplify things. But hey, at least we already know that you are right-handed.:)

Some people would rather not show their plate number. I avoided it on purpose. And, it's not the first time that my mitts have ended up in the frame. :oops: I usually crop them out.

Why would anyone avoid that? Here in the Netherlands we can’t get much out of it. The plates here belong to a vehicle not a person. When sold, the plates go with it.

It doesn't work that way here. Given a person's resourcefulness much can be learned about another's identity simply by their license plate.

Here it would not work either. If someone publishes a car / motorcycle on the internet where the license plate is seen… it means that this car is “clean”… ..then anyone who owns a “stolen” car with the same characteristics / color… ..just have to “ falsify "the registration and identification of the vehicle and you will be able to circulate freely throughout the country in a car called" twin "... the owner of the" clean "car will only find out that there is a twin of his car, if he gets a fine of something he didn't do or where he wasn't from

To me, it's not a big deal if my plate is seen on here. I mean, it's seen all day long by strangers as I'm riding around. In Texas, the only info that a person will get off of the plate, is my name an address. And, yes, if a person has the proper skill level, there's ways to find out even more. But, anybody can go to the tax office, and find out who lives at a specific address. There's always a way, so I don't worry about it too much.

Possible but not legal.

Don't even need to visit office. 90% of Texas is online. Can search by address and find name or vice versa. Public information. Can even find out how much their property taxes are and whether paid or past due.

Quasi. Public Data.com, completely legal for a fee, can provide a ton of stuff. There's another site, can't recall the name, also for a monthly fee provides every telephone number, email address, physical address, that you ever had . . . . even who your related to, or have been related to. All legal. Even the state of Texas will provide you a copy of a person's criminal history . . . . if pay a fee. ($25 the last I heard) It seems that as long as everybody gets a piece of the pie, it's legal. BUT . . . . if a Texas cop gives you information off of a license plate . . . . the cop can get a $10,000 fine, and 10 years in jail. Of course those penalties were made w-a-a-a-y before the internet.

Quasi is right. PublicData is a legal service but if you access it for the wrong reasons (probably most) you can actually be breaking the law. They have a quite long Access Agreement Terms and Conditions.

Well . . . . that describes life in general. Intent is everything. From words, to actual deeds. :D
