Be *very* carefull. You can be given a fixed penalty (its Ł30 and not
Ł20) but only if they choose to give you a fixed penalty. If they
report you its up to Ł1000 (soon to become up to Ł5000). Thats for a
straight non-display offence. If they can show you deliberately
obscured or removed it then you could be prosecuted for perverting the
course of justice - which is up to life imprisonment.
If you go to court for a straight fail to display the court now has
power to order forfeiture of your bike as well.
At your own risk be it!
