In Alaska, I saw, "PB4UGO" I also saw "SXULDV8" There must be something in the water up there..

It's the cold air, it freezes the brain, just like a frontal lobotomy. This is one of my favorites, it's the command a dog musher gives his team to pass someone, kind of a dig on somebody when you blow by'em on the hwy.

I'll tell you the job I want, and I wouldn't ask much to do it.

I want to be the guy who reviews the applications for Vanity tags, and makes sure that there's not some hidden rude meaning in them. That'd be fun!

Sometimes, you see one that got by a censor .....

This one must have slipped by or the DMV has a sense of humor (unlikely).

In my state they sometimes make you explain it, and sometimes they don't. I didn't have to explain "B4Z" on my '66 Datsun Roadster.

My version of the W.C. Fields quote has always been, "As for me, I spent most of my money on motorcycles, the rest I just wasted."

For years I couldn't figure out why people were commenting on the Oklahoma MC license plate on an old /5 , at least once a month someone would ask how I got the state to issue me "that" plate . Finally it dawned , it read

5 GO 100

Funny - I don't see anything special in it either. What am I missing?

really? OK. I understand but don't really get it.

Clarifying my answer. First one is "Pee before you go" and the second one is "Sexual Deviate" although it should be deviant. I guess if you deviate from the norm then you're a deviant.

I gotta say that's pretty good. Who of us that never saw him in the day, and only see him in "highlights" of his old films playing a sour old fat drunk, would ever think he was that coordinated and athletic?

actually all of his movies had tricks and juggling. But he did in character. And I think he was often drunk, even at his best. Johnny Carson used to say Fields was considered world's greatest juggler.

Check out this golf bit, "Canadian Club".

Fields to bartender: "Joe, did I spend twenty dollars here last night?"

Bartender: "Yeah Bill."

Fields: "Oh. That's a load of my mind, I thought I'd lost it."

Shemp Howard as the bartender. Shemp appeared in a lot of old movies after he left the Three Stooges and struck out on his own. Then Curly Howard suffered a stroke, so he re-joined his brother Moe as part of the trio.

I havent had a personalized plate, but I generally keep one or more specialty plates on my vehicles -- NCDMV has a program where you can get a specialty plate, cost a few bucks more, and the $$ goes to the Org or group that sponsored the plate... Not sure how many other states do this.

Currently on my DR650

Waiting for this one for my Impreza

When we were buying a new house and moving out to the country, my wife got this one for my old beater truck "A NEW START!" (only fans of a certain TV show will get this reference)

this is definitely a two track thread with little to do with the other.

Cool plates, Rich. If a vanity plate is $17, how much is a standard plate? IIRC, I paid $70-$80 for a standard plate on my '02 CalStone and each of my other plated bikes. May go for the vintage plates on my '89 TW200 and '68 CT90 next year to save some money, but I have to actually go to the BMV and sign an affidavit or some ridiculousness.

I think it is $17 to get a regular plate replaced, and that's a one-time charge. I think registration is $27-62 per year, and that depends on vehicle weight. Some things are cheap here.
