An ultra bright, low wattage inductively coupled electrodeless aperture lamp is powered by a solid state RF source in the range of several tens to several hundreds of watts at various frequencies in the range of 400 to 900 MHz. Numerous novel lamp circuits and components are disclosed including a wedding ring shaped coil having one axial and one radial lead, a high accuracy capacitor stack, a high thermal conductivity aperture cup and various other aperture bulb configurations, a coaxial capacitor arrangement, and an integrated coil and capacitor assembly. Numerous novel RF circuits are also disclosed including a high power oscillator circuit with reduced complexity resonant pole configuration, parallel RF power FET transistors with soft gate switching, a continuously variable frequency tuning circuit, a six port directional coupler, an impedance switching RF source, and an RF source with controlled frequency-load characteristics. Numerous novel RF control methods are disclosed including controlled adjustment of the operating frequency to find a resonant frequency and reduce reflected RF power, controlled switching of an impedance switched lamp system, active power control and active gate bias control.

A transparent vinyl pouch is mounted on the lower back of a motorcycle jacket to allow the driver to further customize his/her motorcycle. The pouch carries the license plate in order to keep the customized motorcycle tag-free, or is interchangeable with other customized plates, which complement the driver's helmet and/or motorcycle. The pouch also serves to provide greater visibility to the license plate. The pouch is worn on the lower back so other drivers can easily see it. In alternative embodiments of the present invention, there may be hooks inside the pouch, which serve as additional support of the license plate, and there may be lights centered about the license plate, or reflective paint used in order to increase visibility of the plate at nighttime or in bad weather conditions. The pouch closure may also have a locking device to prevent the closure (zipper or hook-and-loop closure) from opening and therefore preventing loss or theft of the license plate.
