    How sad is this numberplate?

    Riding to work this morning, I noticed the following numberplate on the car in front of me:

    0Y 5EXY X

    How sad is THAT? I'm sure the money could have been spent on something far more worthwhile on the car (it was some kind of convertible Volkswagen - I only know this as I spotted the badge).

    Far more amusing (to my mind) is a plate an Indian/Asian chap who lives somewhere near me has:

    5IKH

    I suppose the above only works if he is in the car though (he wears a turban)

    Personalised plates aren't as prevalent in the UK as in NZ...and they are normally more expensive. Goddness knows what plaet I'll get when the RSVR is registered....but it won't be RSVR anymore that's for sure.

    Personalised plates. 30,000 ways of spelling Wanker.

    Only decent one I've seen is QQQQ2

    (if it isn't obvious try adding 'Buddy' on the end of it)

    Best on a small, cheap, crappy bike though.

    No, that's the point of the 'five quid' part of the joke.

    Getting a personalised plate on an *expensive* bike is wanky.

    A piss-take plate on a cruddy bike is the only option that allows me to retain some self-respect.

    In my opinion, personalised plates are a pointless waste of money, unless they're on something a bit special, like a vintage car or something very rare, or on a business vehicle for advertising purposes.

    What the hell does this one mean?

    And no, I don't know, but I used to see it frequently and it had me rather perplexed...

    There are some I've seen that I liked (but wouldn't have bought them myself), like PUGLET on a Peugeot 205GTi, and ENCWNC (with "SPIDER" underneath, on the plate surround) on a Spider.

    I think if you have an easily remembered or eye-catching personalised plate, then you should be very careful how you drive or ride (unlike the HD 1200 Sportster rider I followed last night: 1200S).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yeah, maybe. But for the $500 or whatever it costs, is it worth it? I'd rather spend the money on gear or bike parts.
