Title: Custom License Plates
Post by: Scud on August 16, 2016, 10:35:16 PM
Let's see your personalized plates - with explanation/decoding if needed.
 
Here's MG SCURA on a special-issue 1960's nostalgic plate issued by California DMV.

I thought it would be self-explanatory, but apparently some people think MG is a British Company... that could have possibly made some motorcycles...

Well, that's nice. :thumb:
I see these black plate quite often. I have a '60s vehicle with original black plates and when I see new vehicles with the black plate I try to figure out why - is it that they go with the paint scheme better, or are they trying to make it look more retro? If you own a vintage vehicle, you can get YOM plates.
The original black plates for cars only came with 3 letters followed by 3 numbers, trucks and other vehicles my have been different.

I probably don't have to explain either, and I won't the first.  But the second is 3 for the third wheel (it didn't have yet), and also a backwards "E" for EV'L TWIN, the bike's name.

Never seen those letters at the bottom of a MO plate, nor one with the screw holes shaped like that.
And no place for the renewal sticker.

Not a custom plate but it is legal.  You would be surprised how many times I get pulled over for an expired plate.

Maybe Guzzisti are not so cheap as they claim.  $40 extra per year in California. That's only $0.11 per day.  Worth it.

[rodekyll], I love Evil Twin.

Do you guys know that Cake song, about " how do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle, how much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi..."

I saw a plate on a goose locally that said BAD MOTO

I've never paid a lot of attention to Cake - now, I'll have to become a fan!

I thought it was worth a shot.  "OBX" is the standard bumper sticker shorthand for "Outer Banks" - you see it on thousands of cars.

And 23540 is the Zip Code for Virginia Beach.

Actually, now that I think about it, I like my interpretation better ...  :evil:

Pretty much every car, truck, and SUV in Northern Virginia sports one of these in the back window.

So ubiquitous, they're kind of passe...

In Nebraska they want $70.00 per year plus registration fee for a vanity plate.  So, being FUBAR...this is what I did
