What is your race number and why?

#27......I picked that number for 2 reasons, 1 being the date l was born on and 2 because it is Casey Stoners number and he is my Hero.

#67 for two reasons... born in 1967, and it allows me to use the stylised version of the Barry Sheene #7 in his memory

#71 cause i was born in 1971.

I am with CHoppa, I run the number I earn (even though I am not happy with the one I have this year!).

Back in the day when we were poor students 3 of us brought a CT125 bucket; the number on it was 13. The bike shit itself on its very first outing after sucking a seagull into the open 16mm carby. We then changed it to 42 (the answer to life...)
When I brought my own bucket (as opposed to sharing one) I used number 11 cos I was to tight to buy proper numbers and duct tape was cheap.
Later when I got a puka road race bike (well... one that wasn't a bucket anyway) I used my street address #37. I soon went away from this number as it was jinxed. I blow up more motors than I attended events...
I currently run #51... I figured ya need a 1 in it some where. And....well the 5 in front sorta looked ok.
This year tho I plan to run #8...cos that is where I finished after 3 rounds of Nat

# 74 was always a number i had drag racing , then i used it on the bike as it was really easy to change it if ACU hitlers moaned in those days.
I stated using it in 1979 and finished with it in 2007. Hmmmmmm thats a while init !!

I run 24 as it's a stuffed up answer to the meaning of "Life, the Universe and Everything". Pretty much like my riders skills.

**c4.** · 17th April 2012, 18:15

181
Coz 69 was taken, I decided to go metric

**Gixxer peter** · 17th April 2012, 18:24

Used to have number 88 om my bukcet as it didnt mater whether it was upside down or lieing on its side it alway said 88.

**driftn** · 17th April 2012, 19:56

67 because 61 was taken, Not entirely sure why just like the number's. Had a go at racing MX with a number the club gave me for the event, did absolute shite, I put it down to not having my number.

#78
year I was born; year of my first RM80 (old piece of shit) & year of my first Car (shitty escort).
and by luck I could even get that number from MNZ when I started again

**worm13** · 17th April 2012, 20:56

#13
I use to be 96 but when I came back to racing I wanted a number that was at the top of the programme and 11,12 had already been taken so 13 it was.... and luck has nothing to do with it
