WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP THROUGH NORTHERN ARIZONA AND UTAH IN EARLY OCTOBER 2015, THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE OFF THE BIKE AND WAS LOST. ATTACHED TO THE BROKEN MOUNT WAS MY LICENSE PLATE, THE ASSOCIATED FASTENERS, REFLECTOR AND POSSIBLY MORE UNKNOWN ITEMS. THE MOUNTING BRACKET FRACTURED THROUGH BOTH MOUNTING BOLT HOLES. I HAD ACHIEVED SPEEDS UP TO 75 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE MOTORCYCLE WHEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE.
