Personalised plates are Xpensive!

[Big Dave]

i said wtf and ordered it anyway - but a personalised plate for the Buell was over 5 hundy.
what's up with that!

[DMNTD:Me]

Hell they've gone up. Got mine about 3 years ago but were $376 from memory.
Know if ya bought 3 ya got 1 free...

[Unit:Me]

I can never get past what to put on one, especially with bikes only allowed 5 letters. Im thinking TLGRL. What did you have put on yours? And has anyone had any luck making money on the ones they've owned and tried to onsell?

There is a red Triumph running around Tauranga with "HRBYK" as the plate -Her Bike I would guess is the translation.

So whatja get BD?

How fitting. It's not funny though? I thought as an *artiste* you might be a tad more imaginative? :spudbn:

I thought about a plate a while back, really wanted "PIG B8" but someone prolly has that, and plus i found having no plate at all had the same effect, so i saved myself $500 odd bucks, nice.

The thing i dont get is a bike gets 1 plate, yet costs you the same as a car that gets 2, hmm go figure.

Is it possible to take my standard plate and register it to my next bike? What Im thinking of doing is buying a newer bike (for the road) and stripping my little rat for the track and/or practising stunting, but I want to keep my rego, cos it suits me.

why do we have the most expensive shit internet in the OECD? Why when the price of oil goes up in $US per barrel and the kiwi $ stregthens against the US dollar do will still get increases in the price of our petrol??

*cough* monopoly *cough*

[The Stranger:Me]

When I got the one for the SS I phoned in and asked if it was available and when the woman said $375.00 I said no thanks it not worth that much they dropped the price to $250.00 without even a quibble.

[Karma]

Hmm... If only I was planning on keeping my bike a little longer.

Found a really sweet plate, not sure whether I want to buy it or not as I might be shifting my bike soon to upgrade.

Hmm... decisions decisions...

Imagination is only good in design when the blindingly obvious is unavailable.

I don't believe you can do any better than the model designation on the plate.

My concerns were always that it might make it easier for the hwy patrol or some *555 dickwit to remember, but I've slowed down a lot lately and this bike doesn't do 'draw big heat' speeds anyway.

So yeah, it's me.

Sorry - i'm not the best person to ask about that - I can tell you waht the Oz rules are - someone who knows please?.....

The other option is get a plate that applies to you and take it with you when you change bikes. - Your new plate would look out of place on a Gold Wing or Beemer (for example).
