Lost: Rego Number Plate 29/9/06

[McJim]

Hmmmm.

If my number plate drops off I wonder how long it'll take for a KBer to let me know....I wonder what 5 letters I chose for my plate...

Day after I put the plate on got a private message from Toymachine to say "nice plate" amazed he knew it was me!

Nae luck crashe - $500 for a truly personal plate or $14-$21 for a pot luck plate.

Somewhere in my travels tonight I lost my rego number plate...

Once I had discovered it was gone, I retraced my steps....
so I ended up going up and down the motorway a few times from west Auckland back up to the port turnoff to Auckland Hospital....

No luck at all... not even on all the side streets that I travelled as well..

I got home and rung the police to report it missing.
But I had to get all my riding gear back on and go and fill in all the forms down at the police station.

So now I carry a little piece of paper till I go and get a new one...

I loved my old rego number plate as it was like a personalised one yet not...
(think of the springbok tor and the year the shit happened)

So if you ever spot it out there, please let me know as I would like it back to hang up... it is slightly munted and it has a 5mm white plastic (the size of the number plate) attached to it and it has black duct tape holding it all together.
It also has the virago number plate holder bracket with it as well.

So keep a look out for it... thanks.

Bummer about the plate, it happens and it has happened to me in the past. It was I think off the top of my head that it costed about $9-80, but along with the plate went my rego and wof. Bit of a bugger eh...

I was lucky that my rego and WOF stickers were tied on no where near the plate.

But have them all changed over to the new plate now.

The Mrs takes good care of that

Try a rather long stretch of gravel road in the middle of nowhere, travelling at quite a reasonable velocity on an enduro bike that has just been purchased and I'm feeling better than James Brown destroying the rear tyre and not even knowing it...

Cost me $21 to have MCJIM re-made for a bike (used to have it on the car for the past 2 years) Thought that would be what they charged you.

Nice one.

Really, I asked about getting the same number being made and I was informed that I had to deregister the plate and get it made as a personalised number...
which would cost me between $400 to $500

So I was forced into getting a new number....

Yep - that woulda made perfect sense and it would be a piece of pis to do in the UK - the registration number (as their called in the UK) stays with the car regardless of what happens to the plate - the plate itself can be made up on the spot by any shop (I got a plate hit by a stone in the UK and got a replacement made for ten quid in the auto shop round the corner) In UK the numbers are just stuck onto the back of a piece of clear perspex and Scotchlite colour attached to the back of that.

Ach well - you'll get attached to yer new number in no time.
