Yes, but is not limited to “bikes seen on youtube” so when you are on the road anyone and everyone around you, even pedestrians can do the same check.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
So, unless you breaking law or your vehicle is not road legal the possibility of someone checking your details is far much greater when you are riding on the road than when you are filmed in some Instructional video.
The last paragraph made me never want to try to fill up while sitting on the bike I don’t anyways and I guess it’s reasonable precaution, much more than having to remove your helmet
PS. Somebody PLEASE!! Change the quoting system here before I kill somebody.
ps. same on the road, even easier leaving bike on car park locked to the anchor but you didn’t lock your licence plate, bum head-shot. This all may happen I’m not saying no, it is just not fair to said it only because of registration visible in the video.
On the personal responsibility theme I would add…‘when you are marking a corner make sure you are stop in a safe location. It may not be safe to stop your bike precisely where the lead rider has pointed- it is your responsibility to make that judgement.’ Some riders stop their bikes a few yards beyond a right turn so as not to obstruct the view of other traffic turning from the left and walk back to mark the corner- as long as they are still near enough to the bike and waving others through it can also help with being seen imo.
BTW I love the bit in the vid where you are marking the dual carriageway exit for an age and when the rest turn up one of the group(?) hoons past oblivious!
