numbers on bikes...

[alternative_vtr]

I know insurance companies are not too chuffed, if you have an accident and someone says you are speeding if you have numbers on then they take a dim view, this was the case with a friend of mine.

[VTRDark]

That's discrimination. It's like saying if your Black then your a mugger. or if your bikes Red it's faster.

Well we all know insurance is all legalised illegal acts, like extortion and as you say discrimination. I reckon you should get your money back if you don't make a claim. As a thank you for not costing them money. But hey, we can all dream

Can't see numbers being a problem. Cars get away with it so why not bikes.
s for which number I'd go with '7' which was Barry Sheenes number, or '46' which is Rossi's.

[Ckennedy]

I think out of those 2 numbers I'd have to pick 7 as everyone has rossi's number. I had 7 in my mind as a serious thought but do not know why. Don't know if I could put 69 on mine in all seriousness :s

[lloydie]

666 for me if i put them on

[Ckennedy]

Tempting. Or even just 999 for the hell of it

[VTRDark]

Now 999 is asking for trouble. and not from from the old bill.

88 or for Lloydie it should be 11

I'd vote for number 3.

why? Well thats an easy one to answer:



Simply the best.

years ago having numbers on your car/bike was a no no, because they were considered racing numbers which meant tou were going to race on the road. but over the years common sense seems to have been applied and i've not heard of a police officer nicking someone for have racing numbers on there bike, having said that, if you were caught giving it the beans racing against another motor the police might use this against you.
personally i love the look of numberboards on a storm, you could always go with 58 and pay your respects to super sic/sideshow bob
if you can get the numberboards made up for a reasonable price, let us know, i wouldn't mind having them on my bike....

[Ckennedy]

58 isn't a bad choice. Hadn't thought of that. The number boars were already on my bike when I for it bit me and lloydie are going to have a good at replacating them. So we might be able to sort you out a set.

69 is very very chav. The chav at work even has it on the back of his England shirt, ewww.
Rossi 46 is just to common and lacks imagination, a big 58 I don't think would go right I do have the small 58 on the bikes.

No problems with using numbers on bikes at all, you can use an road legal enduro bike with numbers on the road no problems, they also sell new cars with numbers on number boards like that new beetle a few years ago herbie rep thing.
A joey number 3 would look great, 7 should only be on the suzuki race reps imo,
I did like the number 4 dovi had on his repsol
Perhaps you could do your initials in numbers like the hells angels - 81 etc

That's it then 69 is out of the question

That's not a bag idea with the numbers for your initials. Mine wouldn't woke though. 3 and 11. Unless I wanted a 3 digit number haha.

[cheekykev]

Why don't you try V2 on your board, or v2, it's different, imaginative and will look the part, if you get any miether from anyone you can say it means V twin as the bike is, even more so with a small v
Don't know if you noticed or not, if you didn't you must be blind I had a number on mine on Saturday, it passed an MOT with them on 2 weeks ago, I'm sure they would have warned me if there was a problem.
By the way it was a lot easier to pick mine coz it's a 2002 Colin Edwards rep, no brainer

Oh, I did take the head light cover off for the MOT

let me know how you guys get on, if i'm honest i'd be happy with rear boards, not to fussed about the front, white or black, of if it could be done, white with a black border or vice versa.
good luck with it guys....
