Competition: Design a vanity plate
« on: May 30, 2012, 06:43:04 PM »
The Wee has nowhere to put a GB sticker  :o . I will be using soft bags, so the one on the old TT boxes is no more  :'( . I am therefore considering getting a number plate that includes said international requirement. 

Do not fear law abiding Thumperista, said plate will have the required spacing, size, layout, BSI reflectives etc. so will be 99% legal. There is however a line of text to go at the bottom where the normal purchasers of such plates (or their sub-sized brothers) can put a bit of a logo or joke ("my other toy has ***s" , "Built by engineers, ridden by a ****", "The traffic police are all ******s" and so forth).

However, I'm a practical person. On the Bonneville I'd have had the tyre pressures but Suzuki fit a sticker. Maybe I could include my ICE telephone number? My blood group? But would such info be misused or maybe just useless?

Suggestions however daft are appreciated and you may even get yours in print!

Cheers (lighting blue touch paper are retiring to a safer distance)

You should use the T shirt logo.  Suck, squeeze, bang, blow.  Just in case you forget the Otto cycle.

This made me laugh:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-Bonneville-se-all-Black-edition-2004-Reg-Good-Condition-/221037992536?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3376e41a58

"Starts first time and runs great" translation "I've been round the block in the dry not the M-62 in the rain"  :-X

The seller on evil bay must have bought from the dealer and tarted the old beast up. I wonder if they know the front mudguard extension is a bit of oil can  :-[ :-X ::)

Still think that numberplate text can be put to practical use.

Suggestions above made me laugh  ;D

Crude Language Alert !









You could always put something like "Fuck off Pigs" and see how long it is before you get stopped.


On the other hand, maybe not.

Steady Smudge,  :o

That is genuinely very close to my old school name.  :-X

Brings a wry smile and fond nostalgic thoughts!  ::)

Ta, Bill.

P.S. Small person rioting well? ;)

How did fark get asterisks?!?  :o

Yup, Smudge minor is just grand, a bit grumpy today after getting another set of the normal preventative jabs but that's to be expected. Had the mobile bike mechanic out today as I have not been able to find time to sort out the Skorp and apparently it's back running, so tomorrow mornings advnture will be to dump most of the old crap fuel, fill with fresh and take it in to work, so wish me luck!  8)
