Plate Ideas

[placidfemme]

Sam asked me what I wanted for xmas... and all the things i thought of were bike related in some way...

One of the things I mentioned that she was keen on was a custom plate for my bike...

here are the idea's I've check are available...

PLCID
PFEM
KB PF
KBER
ZXR250 (Don't really want this one cause when I upgrade it can't go on the new bike)

I can't really think of any others...

PLACID is already taken...

Any other ideas?

PS. Dike is taken (I know the lady who owns it) and Dyke is "not appropriate and offensive" (as I was told when I looked into it about 2 years ago by plates.co.nz)

[bungbung]

if PLACID is taken, how about PLAC1D?

[placidfemme]

if PLACID is taken, how about PLAC1D?

Good idea... but its taken :(

[Paul in NZ]

FLACID.......???? A bit limp I suppose?

[placidfemme]

FLACID.......???? A bit limp I suppose?

LOL sadly... its taken (dunno who would want that as a plate lol)

[bungbung]

Being for a bike, does it need to be 5 characters or less?

Coz you could have PLACD

Oh your right...

*didn't think of that*


Q: How many characters can I have on my plate?
A: For a plate intended for a car or truck, you can have up to and including 6 characters. For a motorcycle, trailer or tractor you are limited to 5 characters or less

[LilSel]

ZXR250

PLACID is already taken...


them two have 6 letters/numbers... can only get 5??

[MSTRS]

TRUST - a visible reminder??

[placidfemme]

Coz you could have PLACD

that one is available... but it looks like its meant to read "placed"

[placidfemme]

Its taken...

[MSTRS]

Or TRYST....paint out the tail on the Y

[LilSel]

'placed' lol... that's not bad tho :dodge:

[MSTRS]

Or TRYST....paint out the tail on the Y (or not):innocent:

[judecatmad]

PLCDFM maybe?

Or replace the A in PLACID with a 4?

[skelstar]

Pl4cd.....

keeps lowercasing for some reason

[LilSel]

PLCID

:scooter: :scooter:

[placidfemme]

PLCDFM maybe?

Or replace the A in PLACID with a 4?

Can only use 5 letters/numbers

PL4CID is available but too long...

[skelstar]

Femme, F3mm3

Ftale

[placidfemme]

PLCID

So far the easiest to read and would make sense to those who know me...

[LilSel]

[placidfemme]

[LilSel]

:rockon: :scooter:

[placidfemme]

lol thats kewl...

Last time I checked they were about $500 a plate... hopefully they havn't gone up much since then...

I saw QK KID on his bike on the harbour bridge and saw his plate "QK KID" and thought "yeah I want one" lol

[LilSel]

I just found the perfect plate for you!!!....

[placidfemme]

I just found the perfect plate for you!!!....

It would have been great if it had been totally pink...

[LilSel]

It would have been great if it had been totally pink...

Cover it with bacon... then it will be all pink... and for some colour... eggs sunnyside up plz :D

[placidfemme]

[Cajun]

hers
reads

HER1k

those are pretty kewl idea's... Good thing is that bikers would know what it means :)

[placidfemme]

lol!!

no I'm only aloud to eat with a spoon :( apparantly I'm messy or something

oh.. it has to be plastic too... preferably with pictures on it or at least a neon colour so I can spot it when I drop it in the food on my plate while I'm playing with my food (cause no-one else will play with me)

[Cajun]

those are pretty kewl idea's... Good thing is that bikers would know what it means :)

yeah its good since it says its a 1000 since most alot of people know what k is 1000 so 1k=1000 and her since its a females bike.

since she still gets asked what size is that? evne tho it got a 1000 on the tail piece.

[The_Dover]

How about

BYK HO?

[Joni]

Just pop Spank a pm letting him know the word "Kiwibiker" will appear on the plate - Im sure it wont be a problem, but I still recommend you just let him know. :yes:

[LilSel]

awwwe... practice with your spoon then PF.... cuz we all know that spooning leads to forking :laugh:

Whats your favourite fork?? OOooOOooo let me guess... it must be pink... with... stars on it??? maybe??...

:shutup: :shutup: to the last comment...

[LilSel]

How about

BYK HO?

DYK HO?....

Or...

DYK3R

[The_Dover]

DYK3R

I like that one!!

[placidfemme]

DYK3R

I like that one!!

yeah I like that too!!

Joni: Right now still deciding on which plate I want... then once confirmed with Sam I'll PM SPankMe and ask... I'm also now having second thoughts about it too... if I do anything wrong/dangerous (which I never do :innocent: :innocent: :innocent: ) they could track me back through KB

[Joni]

Yeah and another thing... as unimaginable it may be :innocent: ... you might not be an active member of KB forever, but you will hepefully ride forever... dont limit yourself.

:sunny:

[LilSel]

Thats very true!!!

Here's where I am... This is my username... hmmm...:mellow:

PF... no dish running away with the spoon from KB!

[MSTRS]

DYK3R

..... dont limit yourself.

What if you change sides???

[placidfemme]

What if you change sides???

thats very unlikely :)

But I don't think I'll be using that plate. As mentioned in a post above a close friend had "Dike" and people are always abusing her, trashed her car a few times... and some other things...

Last thing I need is some asshole behind me and seeing my plate and putting 1 and 1 together and getting abused or targeted on my bike...

[Pumba]

Just a thought, when I went to get one for my old mans bike last year I was told that I couldnt have a message plate on a bike plate, might pay to keep that in mind as I know it stuffed up the original ideas I had

[LilSel]

OoooOOoooo why's that???

cuz they are smaller or something?

[placidfemme]

Cheers for the heads up

A normal plate with no writting is $649, with the writting its $749... so proberly best without it anyway as I thought they still cost $500... but I guess not

[Pumba]

Shit the must of put there prices up this year, your right it only used to be $500 (or there abouts)

[Pumba]

OoooOOoooo why's that???

cuz they are smaller or something?

Yea I guess so, they didnt really give me a reason I was just told they couldnt do it. The guy I was talking to did suggest if I wanted to have messages to get one of those plastic number plate surrounds and get a sign writer to put the message on that and then put it on the bike with the plate.

must just not be enough room... but then smaller font?? weird..!

a number plate surround for a bike plate?... might be hard to find?

[dawnrazor]

bloody expensive really for a bit of metal

[MSTRS]

Never seen one. There's enough room to just stick computercut letters straight on the plate. Wouldn't cost $100 - esp. if got from me.

[marty]

W4NKR - i've always liked the irony in that one

SKWID

[LilSel]

I wanna get a plate for my bike but cant think of a way to word it so that it matches/resembles my cars... mainly cuz of the one less letter:mellow: :mellow:

It dont look right anyway I try to swap it around to read the same thing

[Hawkeye]

I got one for the cage earlier this year (present) which had a message on it.
Because I hadn't actually put it on the cage and wanted it for the bike, it cost me an extra $60 to change it to 5 chars for the bike. I was also told that I couldn't have a message which changed the meaning of the plate somewhat.

Still ended up getting it for the bike as I ride the bike more than I drive the cage. Good thing is that the 5 chars still reads the same as the 6 chars but without the message, it reduces the impact. In the future, if I want to transfer it to a cage, the 5 chars will still work and I can get the message put back on.

[MSTRS]

Hey Placid.....

[placidfemme]

Hey Placid.....


lol that ones kewl...

tried "2grls" and its gone :( damn lesbians beating me to everything

[crashe]

Cheers for the heads up

A normal plate with no writting is $649, with the writting its $749... so proberly best without it anyway as I thought they still cost $500... but I guess not

Shite once upon a time when they first came out, I am sure they only cost $300 then they went up to $400. I thought they were still $400 to buy....

Thats one hell of lot of $$$$$$ on the front and back of vehicles.


Placidfemme - Hey since bikes only need one plate, then surely it would be cheaper?????????

[LilSel]

Placidfemme - Hey since bikes only need one plate, then surely it would be cheaper?????????

Crashe!! you onto it!! That is very true... !! less plate less $$$?

[skelstar]

When you go down to LTSA and get a new rego-plate for your bike (plane jane one) it only costs you $8. The cost is in the custom-exclusivity I'm guessing.

[crashe]

tried "2grls" :(


What you have only tried 2......?. :rofl: :rofl:
Or was that 2 together :whistle:








Sorry mate but you left yourself open to comment on that one....lol.

[LilSel]

hmmm doesnt say anything bout it being cheaper... :angry: stink

[crashe]

hmmm doesnt say anything bout it being cheaper... :angry: stink

If you loose a bike number plate it cost $8.80 to replace.

If you loose a car number plate it costs $16 doesnt it to replace both???????
Can they just replace the lost one to match the other one still on the vehicle?

so it should damn well be cheaper..... IMHO.


Its a rip off if you can only get one number plate when you can get two for the same price.

[LilSel]

LOL yeah... I agree... what if you want to display one on your wall or something?

[Maverick]

I have my eye on a plate, but I dont have the money to spend on something that trivial at the moment *sigh* :mellow:

[LilSel]

Yeah I hear you on that one too!!!
I've got to get two more... one for bike n one for 2nd car (cuz want them to match as my lil fleet lol)

Trying to decide whether or not to go to wellington on Friday night... and I really really really cant decide. Dont want to fly cuz done enough of that this month... so if I go will be driving... but uggh... xmas soon...

Need a money tree!!

Mav- If I win lotto... Ill buy you your plate :D

Too many letters - can only have five on a bike.

I had BMWCS on the F650CS I had - but people would still ask what the bike was! I've got L00CE on the Goose and old people think my name is Lucy...

One of the best I've seen was on a dry cleaner's van - TAKEN2

I can't have my initial and my last name, because FKING is rude - apparently.

You'd have to be insane to put a dyke plate on your bike - might as well put a sign saying "kill me" or "smash my bike up"

which is what I said earlier... did you read the whole thread?

Sam has thrown another option at me... a guitar and amp set thingy or the plate...

Last guitar got stolen before I got any good at it... and still really keen to learn to play...

I havn't decided yet... also very keen on the plate idea

[The_Dover]

get a guitar.

UK people - you know how expensive personal reg plates are in the UK...and how limited you are by them (3 letters and 3 numbers)

I saw this one on a BMW 5 series X321 ARO - looked fantastic in a rear view mirror.

Get the guitar.
In the final analysis, the plate is just a registration plate, and you can't see it when you're riding anyway.

It should be enough for people to admire your bum instead your bike's bum, and for you to know they can't have it.

Oh - and buy the next guitar up from what you can afford! Or if you want a cheap one in good nick, we may have one for sale (The Dave just bought a new Ibanez).

I was thinking that...

I was learning to play an acoustic giutar... but I don't have a musical bone in my body so it took forever... and besdies... I didn't really wanna learn all the cords and crap... just how to play a certain song... managed to learn the first 15 seconds of "Paint it black" lol

I still wanna learn more... Sam got one of those junk mail things from a music shop (can't remember which one) and they have an acoustic guitar (dunno the brand) and it comes with a guitar bag, spare strings, about 4 picks, a strap, an amp, an electric tuner... and... I think that might be it... for only like $300 or $400 or something... Which sounds really cheap to me... for all those extra's... when I brought my first acoustic guitar about 3.5 years ago I paid over $600 for it, then extra for the bag, tuner, strings, picks etc...

oh... and now Sam wants drums for xmas :shutup:

[The_Dover]

don't buy all the shit that comes with it. get a decent instrument and buy what you need.

I.E. a plectrum (and a tuner if you're tone deaf.)

[vifferman]

The plates people obviously haven't considered the 'rear view mirror' thing. You can't get ones like "PEN15" or whatever, but I saw one the other day that said "TIH5 O". Why someone would spend $550 or whatever plates cost for something with novelty value only, is beyond me.:weird:

Come to that, I reckon they're a complete waste of money, unless:

You had one for a commercial vehicle and could prove it increased sales / income.
You owned a classic car / bike.
You were a persistent law-breaker, and had one like the couple I've seen that have a random mixture of K's and X's, 1's and I's, 5's and S's, or whatever. Very hard to remember.Having said that, if money was no object (but alas, it is), and I'd completed pharkling my VFR (alas, I haven't), I'd consider one. There are several suitable ones available, but not RC46 or VFR or 781, unfortunately. But then again, that's another good disincentive, innit?
