I used to race a 1976 RD250... which was two years older than me.

gov.uk website says

Motorcycles and motor tricycles registered on or after 1 September 2001 must only display a number plate at the rear of the vehicle.

If you ride a motorbike or motor tricycle registered before 1 September 2001 you can also display a number plate at the front, but you do not have to.

Front number plates were compulsory before 1975

I’d be practically invisible.

Wouldn’t have it any other way, frankly!
