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.

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.

Those things are $10 extra per year here. I must have stumbled onto the BMW list by mistake ...

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

It happened a long time ago, but I swear I saw a black Cadillac with darkened windows in RI that had the plate GDFTHR.

[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!
