I think you also have to be prepared to down trousers, bend over and "squeal like a pig". $335 for one little bit of tin. |

I can only have 5 characters on my plates in MI. The three vanity plates I have are "6 CBX",
"82 FT", and "CBF" |

NY only charges $25 for a personalized plate and can be done on the Internet. Mine is CB750Z. |

A2M = Ass to Mouth. It's the just the kind of offensive, depraved abbreviation the public should be reading on the back of my bike. I consider it a large and indiscriminate middle finger facing the entire world. Have they done anything deserving of this offense? Probably. |

That is pretty raunchy. Reminds me of THE PHARROH. He was a member who enjoyed your sentiments, but was less of a giver and more of receiver.  |

hi guys i don't think you realise how lucky you are to be able to pick and play with your plates we cant have anything that would imply the motor is newer than it is so the only way you can (try) & pick your own is to buy a brand new vehicle ,,, 0r be extremely lucky & find a plate that's already been in issue (they last 4 life here) but then unless your a lucky bastard they cost in to the thousands of pounds .. then they have to be a regulation size or you face stupid fines .. they now wont let you replace a plate in the shops unless you take the title document with you (log book) over here .. some get round it by buying SHOW PLATES of the net ... the blue Plymouth in my page i put on to say hi to every one has a plate on it that is my exact initials which is part of the reason i bought the car as iv never owned any thing i ain't built yet but it would of cost me a small fortune other wise 4 the plate .. i am most envious of you all |

Hoping I'm not stealing any thunder here but, there is one personal plate that I've had the pleasure/honor of driving. It's "BANZAI" and is currently residing on this car......

A MOPAR of course.....  |

I have no badge on my side panels so I have my plate to help folks figure out what my bike is:
It is also my current Avatar but I change that often.

Yeah, it's only meant to be crude. Like all the guys out there with GOATSE or GOTMILF license plates. I think THE PHARROH was on his way out when I joined, so I rarely come across his brand of neighborliness. |

You can get a seven digit plate in South Australia for an ANNUAL fee of $240.
Thats more than half the cost of reg. and compulsory insurance.
I'm keeping my standard plate. |

5 is the limit on a cycle and 7 on a car.
I like your thinking, though!  |

Ohh, some of these I like! NGAGE, that one's cool!
I was thinking something like KAZ1 or something along those lines, as well.
