Well, when I first raced junior motocross back '82 (yup I'm getting to be an old bastard) I was given the ACU (remember them?) number of "265".
This was shortened to "26" for some of the championship races and I did rather well using that.
I did well back in the late '80s / early '90s using "26" as well in bucketing.
In the mid '90s I also used "79" as that was my Dad's racing number back when he raced Mach 111's (check my signature).
Anyway, come 1997 when I took up racing RS125's I tried to use "26" but a good friend of mine pinched it (), and he won races using it.
So I used "36" as being close. Few races in and a big highside, stuffing my RS racing. Okay, it was bad luck for me to go away from "26".
Fast forward to present day and getting back into bucketing "26" and "36" are long gone so we have Team numbers for Team Nugsty, this being 66, 69, 96 and 99.
Lady P has "96" and this seems to be working for her so I'll see where that takes me.

20 was givben to me by MNZ back in the 250 proddy days and Ive used the number ever since
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
'2' was my lucky number when I believed in that sort of stuff & '7' is supposed to be lucky & they looked good forever. so I started running them erm, back about 15, maybe 17 years ago. Then I started noticing that Doohan & Merkel & several others had used the number. . . Hmm this track is starting to sound the same from somewhere
Then I started noticing that it was on the trophies I was winning (little pic of bike had 27) & then I started noticing the number everywhere. Gee I guess I'm still as superstitious.![]()
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Forty One has good feng shui and the one is easy to change to a seven if someone else turns up with the same number.
