Personalised plates are dumb.

Unless they're on summat special, like a rare or classic vehicle, or maybe for advertising purposes on a commercial vehicle.

And - as has been said before on here more than once - they make it easier for people to remember your rego when you do summat stupid or naughty.

Ive never seen anyone with a personalized plate on a bike. are they too 'riff-raff' or just plain un-cool
Hmmmm - just trying to work out what you mean here. If it's blatantly obvious that you're saying if it's 'riff raff' then it's the ultimate in cool, then please forgive me for I have had a hard night shift and very little sleep today.

had given serious thought about this actually.. Not sure if it's a cool thing or not, but I've seen a few that have bought some, and Quasi has that on his bike, altho he's not around to chat about it.. Also seen MI DUC, NO CAR, YW8 and a few humorous others..

I thought about getting BGJCE for mine, and then if I really really wanted, there's BUGJCE for the cage too.. Or may be something to do with it's colour, like 13BAL (for those pool players out there), or F66OO (for those web guys) and thought of a couple of others, but can't remember..

I think you should add to the poll, or do another - Personal Plate - wankish, or coolio?

Plus, one benefit to a plate, more money to ACC, so when you bin it, you can get bumped up to the SuperSuit room in ER*

Hell, if you've got the money burnin a hole, go for it

*all fake, but the mula helps them tho, which in turn helps us one day

what do you think

Ps. What a rip! $504 for a plate whether its for a bike (only one given) or a cage (obviously two)

A while back, before I had even thought about racing, I always wanted to get a R1 road bike with the plate "THE 1". Thought it would have been pretty cool.

Also seen MI DUC...

The yellow Monster?

I regularly pass him on the NW motorway in the mornings and evenings.

He used to filter with reasonable gusto, but then one day I saw him up on the motorway shoulder receiving a finger-waggling from a bike cop.

Now he just sits in traffic.

But I vote Bykey Cops is the best personal plate I've seen on a bike. It's on his profile.
was it a pic of his plate? cos I think he's changed it.. And I don't think what he's ridin would have a Pplate on it ;) What was his plate then (for all the blind gits like me)?

Yeah thats a point. I spose it only applies if your regularly in a position to be caught by your rego.
My bike too underpowered for anyone to get really annoyed enough to actually remember it. all I do is filter.

Hell, if you've got the money burnin a hole, go for it

Not really, but I have an un-presented birthday present from January that I am trying to find something cool and relevant,

Originally I was going to build a shed for the bike. keep it away from the rain and the thieves etc. but now im too lazy and just leave it on the driveway

Mind you, I also like beer mixed with blue powerade, yum.

'L33T' is taken, too.

I've seen it around the Auckland CBD a couple of times. Some poxy old Jap shitebox.

Of course, writing that motivated me to open another browser tab and run the plate. It's an '81 RX7 from Napier. It has quite a registration number history...

The nice lady behind the counter batted not an eyelid, however, and proceeded to construct one.

Well after being behind the bar, serving things like a 'concrete mixer' and an 'abortion' while also being asked for "a slow screw against a wall", a "quick fuck" and a "screaming/multiple orgasm". I'm thinking a 'G & R' will seem a bit tame *shrug*

It's a matter of putting raspberry syrup in Guinness, and the presumable (to me, at the time) insanity of anyone who'd want to.

When I'm Emperor, personalised plates will be but one of the many things away with I shall do!

A registration plate exists for one purpose: to clearly and unambiguously identify the vehicle to which it is attached. Many personalised plates run counter to this purpose, particularly those crafted by sad fucks whose first (and possibly even their second or third) choice of plate has been already "taken".

A registration plate should not be kerned or have spaces inserted. L33t should not be allowed. Get over yourself, it's not that clever. And people who think they're putting their business name or something that has a "marketing" advantage have generally either been sold a pup or don't understand anything about the principles of branded identity.

Six-digit plates for bikes must only be a couple of years away. All of the Ws are nearly used up. And once 99ZZZ has been issued, that's the end of the possible five-digit sequences (don't forget that five-digit plates are also used for trailers, tractors and some roadworking machinery).

aren't trailers and may be some other vehicles have their regs' as XXX99 as the oposite to bikes having 99XXX.. Can't really think of an alternative.. may be 999XX..?

oh I was meaning is it legal to get a car personalised plate and bang that on the arse of your bike?? It would be slightly larger maybe but that wouldn't be too much of a problem, have a 6 digit idea I would like you see
I don't think it's a physical thing, that we're not allowed 6 digits. I think that's just an attempt to keep things in a bit more of an order. Kinda logical, but then, kinda not..

aren't trailers and may be some other vehicles have their regs' as XXX99 as the oposite to bikes having 99XXX.. Can't really think of an alternative.. may be 999XX..?
Used, used, used, all used.

All for the personalized plates for bikes IF it fits the attitude of the rider and look of the bike. When I start building choppers I have a few ideas for those Such as 'drag on' if it hasnt been taken by then. Think it already is actually. Ohwell I have others.

Just think what it would be like in the states where I think it was something like $500USD to get the plate and then you pay it again every year when you renew the vehichle registration...

Mine is "MATHU", when it was on my car it used to read "MATH U" which made it a little more obvious for some. My wife has ANITA T on our car. I also have NITOR and IM MAT in storage ready for the glorious day that I get a 2nd bike.

The only downside to having a p/plate on your vehicle is getting remembered whenever you do dumb shit. Other than that its fine. I got a major telling off by a customer at Motomart one time. I was in a hurry to get to Hutt hospital from the CBD and apparently I changed lanes a wee bit close to the a car. The driver freaked out, hit the brakes and nearly caused a major pileup. This guy rememered the plate and let me know what he thought about me when he saw me in there a month or so later.

maybe bikes go faster and so cagers have less time to see/remeber a rego?

I demand 10 character numberplates. and smaller font sizes on them

Only if it is 5 digits, I've got my eye on my brothers plate that is on his GTO "RQGUE" should be a hit down here. :raghead: :Pokey:

by my pathetic maths, i reckon there is more than 175000 5 digit combinations, using the 3 letter 2 number form.

obviously there is 99999 5 number combos

Ps. What a rip! $504 for a plate whether its for a bike (only one given) or a cage (obviously two)

http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/vehicle-ownership/registration.html about half way down Replace a plate for $8.80 I know they are running a business, and that there is the additional paperwork of changing plate details, but the raw product cost $8.80 retail. Nice profit margin there.

What sluts me off is that even with PPlates, you're limited to 5 characters for motorbikes.

Back when I had my '54 Zundapp and '66 Puch scooters, I wanted to have pplates for them (yeah, like I could really afford that)

I used to call the Puch "The Beast" and the Zundapp "the Dragon" (it was green and it blew out a lot of smoke (pre-mix blue-smoke))

Wanted to have their names in German (native language of their respective countries of origin) but when it came to the Zundapp neither DRACHE nor the English word DRAGON would be allowed as they were one character more than that allowed for a motorcycle

WTF does it matter if a PPlate on a bike is 6 chars rather than 5? It's a custom plate - we're already breaking the "number, number, letter, letter, letter" format.

If I had a decent bike that I deemed worthy of a pplate, I'd get one but it'd have to have some sort of meaning.

I've seen a few cars with plates that would be better suited to bikes sometimes. Saw one this morning - YEHAA on a crappy ute. need I say more?
I kinda think some are wasted on the wrong vehicle..

Six-digit plates for bikes must only be a couple of years away. All of the Ws are nearly used up. And once 99ZZZ has been issued, that's the end of the possible five-digit sequences (don't forget that five-digit plates are also used for trailers, tractors and some roadworking machinery).

surely they could go 11AA1, or 1AAA1, OR 1AA11 OR 1AAAA OR anyfink really?

Agree with the L33T. Just don't get it. Must be city kid talk or something?????

Close, more so just teh UBER INTARWEB GEEKZ know what it is. Such as me. Just a bunch of online gamers started calling themselves "elite" which evolved into "1337" There is close to a whole thread about it somewhere here. No I dear where though.

I think adding a PPlate to your bike/car is just another way to add a bit of your personality to it, much the same as we do when we bolt on bits. A set of aftermarket mufflers for instance. Sure they add to the performance, make a lot more noise etc... but is also changing it from the norm.

When I had my TL for instance I spent a lot of time personalising it. Putting a PPlate on it was just a progression from that. The plus is that you can take your plate with you if you wish when you change bikes.

Unless, of course, you've picked one that references the vehicle like "82BMW" or some such - then the plus is that you can add the price of the plate (and any mark-up you wish) to the price of the bike when you sell it.

if you have a P'Plate with 5 or less characters.... can you swap between cage and motorbike? Assuming you pay the necessary money and do the needed paperwork. Is it possible?

Yes. From memory it costs about $10 per vehicle to change over.

Trailers, tractors and road working machinery all have five-digit or fewer plates. They're gone-burgers. Once 99ZZZ is issued (somebody says it's already gone, probably as a PP), that's it. Six-digit plates for bikes too.

Worse Luck, the plate I'd really like is taken: "PAGAN" - I've actually seen it around Hamilton. I could get P4GAN or P4G4N or even PAG4N, tho' - with "RISEN AGAIN" as a message...

I've got a couple of ideas for a cage or if the govt ever realises the potential for increased revenue if they allowed 6-character plates on 'bikes

And - as has been said before on here more than once - they make it easier for people to remember your rego when you do summat stupid or naughty.
I agree, one of my mates has one sayn "DEMIN" on his bike. It grabs too much attention from the fuzz. Well usually any attention from the fuzz is bad.
