[Spridgets] NY Plates

[Larry Daniels]

It's the 55 year old cop that was a motorhead in his youth that you need to
worry about.

The only downside to doing it legally with the Hobbyist plate is that it is
the butt-uglyist plate you ever saw.

  You can get a "Hobbyist" plate for the same money and the same rules as a
  "Collector" plate, with the exception that a Collector must be original and
  unmodified, i.e. no 1275s or front discs in your Bugeye (or Mini).  With
the
  Hobbyist plate you can do darn near anything you want to it.

 What's the chance some 25 year old cop is going to ask you to lift the bonnet
and say. "Aha!  HIF-44 and Judson, 1380cc, tube shock conversion, Electronic
ignition...   Okay, buddy, you're going down town with me!"?
