My plate broke off at some point and there is only about 1" where the bolts go through to hold it on, not enough to even make it recognizable as a plate really. Can I go to the dmv and say it was stolen and get a new plate for whatever bs charge they have, or will I need an incident report of some sort saying it’s been stolen? I drove about 35 miles home with no plate on the dirtbike that night and didn’t get pulled over, not really sure how that’s possible :lol I know I passed atleast 1 trooper on 90 ---

You can try taking what is left of it to DMV and they MIGHT accept it. Or, you can go to wherever your local law enforcement is and make out a lost/stolen plate form. Take that to DMV and you should not have a problem. ---

Funny same thing happened to my Drz. I was cleaning it the other day and noticed that something is different about the back. Plate was gone. No idea if it was stolen or fell off, nor do I know how long I was plateless for. Just gotta go to DMV and get a new plate number and pay plate fee. ---
