Handicap Question

[Cougar]

Sorry Mods. I did my first post by mistake in annoucements *oops*
ANYWAYS-----

Where does one place the Handicap Plastic Card on there Trike?

There has to be a few of you out there.
Anybody ever steal them?

I have to wait one year until I can get the plates.

Thanks,
Jeff

I hang mine from the vent in the windshield on my GW. Haven't lost it yet.

It will get stolen at some point in time, by a lazy person who can't get one by legal means....

 

[Cougar]

maybe I can tie wrap it some how

 

[Rod69]

We hang the card around the cord in the tour pack then shut the lid and lock it. It hangs out over the passenger seat. Have not had it stolen yet. Had to get a new card once because of rain ruining the card.

Make a couple copies with a good printer, then seal the copies in plastic.
Leave a copy stuck on the dash (velcro??).

We were in getting tabs for Gloria's car handicap plates, and she asked if they had the motorcycle version. They looked up if she was eligible and had us bring in the old plate and gave us a motorcycle handicap plate.
Ask at the office where your state does the plates/tabs if you can get a plate for the trike. We didn't know Missouri had handicap plates for motorcycles, was a shot in the dark that paid off.

Virginia has handicap MC plates. I'd be surprised if all states didn't offer them.

 

[Cougar]

Oh so does Iowa. BUT I think you have to have the temp one
for a year before you can get plates. (just hear say) will find
out soon though.

There is no where to stick a Disabled Blue Badge (Handicapped is not a PC word here) on the trike. This being due to too many sticky fingured people going around.....(Theives)

My S/O has a handicap motorcycle plate. Can't walk very far but can ride on 2 wheels! Ohio has the plates!

looks like after reading into it a bit more I can get a hang card or stickers for plates OR the plate it self. so worse case is the sticker for the small trike plate I guess.
I also have 6 other cars to put them on ... Ummmm $25 for the plate though.

Florida has MC handicap plates

 

[Bikerbozo]

In NY anyways, an owner can get the HC plate. My wife, being handicapped, means I can't get that plate. However, what I have been doing for the last decade plus for her is scanning mirror hang and printing it either on mylar clear sheet or large clear packing labels and just sticking it on right side of windshield. For long trips, I leave mirror hang in tourpack in case any police have a problem (never have). Done this all over US and in Canada.

I made a photocopy of the original, and I can wedge it between the windscreen and the pouch I have for my sunnies.

I actually have the International symbol as a sticker -- one on the front corner of my screen, the other fits nicely into the bottom right hand corner of the Tour Pak [so showing one front and back]

Got them from Reflective Tape IS ReflectivelyYOURS.com - <h1>Reflective Tape Kits - Reflective Tape, reflective decals pinstripes Jeff has a few good items

Sorry about the large lettering at the end... didn't mean to shout LOL

 

[adaptolife]

I have Florida handicap plate

 

[Aussie Annie]

Cougar... this is what the stickers look like [Yep trike dirty]

 

[E.T.]

Yes, Florida has handicap plates. But if you have more than one vehicle, and are cheap like me, you can move the card to any vehicle. The receipt has the handicap persons name on it. Florida issues a sticker like the one on your vehicle tag. The handicap cards you buy at stores are not legal in Florida !!!

[Cougar]

Thanks Annie !

I think I have tag with my signature on it tho.
Or
A plate that attach's.

I will be finding out tomorrow and let you folks know how it
went.

Not sure if in Iowa just the symbol will work or not.

Thanks gang!
Jeff

I have vanity plated on my trike, so tags were not an option. I have a 2001 ultra trike. On the bike I have a windshield bag, for glassed and gloves, and things of that nature. What we did was to take my blue card and have it laminated. We used Office Depot for that. They offer different weight laminates for different jobs. I chose the heaviest one that was offered. Trimmed it down with an edge on the side. Left a tab on there, punched a hole in it and placed it between the windshield bag and the windshield. The center bolt of the windshield goes through the hole in the tab of your plate and holds it into place. If someone wants it, there going to get it. Trick is to make them work for it. Since they are thieves anyway, and therefor inherently lazy, they will not work to steal yours, and will move on to an easier target.

 

[Cougar]

This has been a great thread keep posting folks. ThumbUp

I hope it helps others as it has for me, got my
plates yesterday. they had 2 left .

I also ordered the stickers for the front windshield
yesterday that Annie posted about. THANKS!

We have 7 bikes/trikes. Three of them have handicapped plates, 1 has an antique plate and Momma's three do not carry handicapped plates. I got the first handicapped vanity plate ever issued in Virginia. Took almost a year of arguing with DMV and the threat of a class-action suit, but they finally relented. Back then I only had one bike, the 66 HD below. My trike tag is handicapped and is a vanity also (MY 3XS) since it is an FLHXXX. Still shocks people when I park a two wheeler in a handicapped space; have had more than one "upright" citizen (and a LEO or two) argue with me.

This picture was taken right after I got the 2005 Nightrain..... The NO NDN is one of Momma's bikes. Her 2003 Scout carries "INJUN" and her Storm trike is just as-issued numbers. She decided she did not want another vanity plate.

Firmly believe in using available options, but not mis-using them.

Hey Cougar, what kit do you have on your RSV? Do you have reverse? What front tire are you using? My sister and brotherinlaw have RSV's (2007 & 2008) and starting to think trike.

 

[Cougar]

Hi Randy,, The Kit is Hannigan,, I use a rear same size tire on the front for better wear, and I also do not see any need for a reverse. they roll with ease
when triked. you can add it one day for about 1200 or so.
give me a call anytime if you need any help or more questions answered

Here in Oregon you can get a sticker to put on your bike (Or trike) that is keyed to your drivers license. They put the last four digits of your DL on the sticker. Easy to get just ask and they mail it to you. The state will not, however, issue you two placards. So if you have two cars you use you have to switch from one to the other. No license plats either.

 

[Cougar]

I ended up with a truck plate a trike plate and two hanging things from the mirror 4 in total.

 

[WILDBILLPHIN]

I first laminated the card and then put two 1 inch screws with nuts on both sides of the card and close it in the tour pak with the screws inside. It rests on the passenger backrest. It will not pull out
