I Like Personalized Plates

I've never actually paid for a personalized plate but I feel that the three plates I have are personalized to a degree. The number on all 3 plates is a multiple of my favourite number -- 17 . The first two just fell into my lap. The third one (on my wife's bike) was asked for. The guy in line ahead of my got 100, I was going to get 101 but asked the clerk to give me the next one instead.

I know, I know, It should be with a "E" but "E" was already taken so I used an "O" instead. The GS.

My K12LT has the tag: BCHBMER
'99 F150: HALNTOYS
Wife's '93 Jeep: BS LOCAL

We live on Bogue Sound across from Emerald Isle, NC. My truck has been loaded with 2 kayaks, 2 bicycles, 4 windsurfers plus gear for trips.
 
Best (non) custom tag

On the first bike that I tagged, my Arkansas plate read "FU 007." Got a lot of comments about it. I still have it in the garage. They changed the numbering system, or I'd still be using it.

A local Airhead brought this very nice R60/2 hack to the Vasona vintage picnic a couple weeks ago. I love the license plate!

We sold our bikes when we escaped from California to New Hampshire a few years ago, intending to buy some more when we settled in. Time went on and we just put it off. Then at Christmas, 2004, I was diagnosed with cancer. To celebrate the success of my surgery the next spring, we bought a couple of motos from Max: an F650 GSL for the spousal unit and a Dakar for me.

I decided I wanted a vanity plate to reflect a little change in my attitude: You have to live now. You can't keep putting off things that matter.

The license plate frame represents both a nickname and the slogan of the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The LAF (www.laf.org) does a tremendous job helping cancer survivors get the right mindset.

A few months later, I found out that the cancer had already spread before the surgery. Nine months of hormone therapy and 42 radiation treatments later, all seems to be well for now, though I find myself focusing on 90 days at a time, the interval between blood tests. Consequently, I stand by my sentiment now more than ever.

More plates!

Lessee. . . the old Civic was "GOSURF"
The Tundra is "SRFRGRL" (yes, we surf here in NH!)
'85 Alazzura was "DEZMO"
'79 R100T was "PURRR"
And the current plate, originally on the 2002 ST4S, and transferred to the 2004 R1100s, starship "ONWRD."
