But still the same thing, You can watch your bike all you want while it is parked somewhere, doesn't mean i can't get your tag number. Also, it isn't like everyone has access to the dmv and can run your plates. I have never seen a website where you can do it yourself. JUst seems trivial to me because so many people see your bike on a daily basis anyway.
You are correct just trying to explain some of the reasoning behind it.
And you can get access to peoples info from the DMV. Many sites can do it (for $$$) and you can actually go down and request the info for free or a small fee depending on the state.
It's just one last security thing people do. Plus if they take pictures of themselves doing something dumb/illegal and post it up, pros./cops can't prove it was them. Got me???
Also a lot of the high dollar bikes aren't ridden on a daily basis. Some people will be lucky if they put 2,000 miles on a bike a year if that. Ya....it's hard to believe but there are many out there like that.
