## About this plate

THE YELLOW BELGIAN MOTORCYCLE PLATE, 01-10-2001 to 14-11-2010, the only Belgian plate that was ever yellow, and the only one that was taller than it was wide (140 mm wide x 175 mm high; today's is 210 x 140, landscape). It carried no index and no European band. A three-letter group beginning "M" or "W" above three digits, on a portrait yellow plate, is therefore a one-glance date range for a Belgian motorcycle.
