Personalised plates?

[chicken]

I've never really been a fan of private plates - "if you can't tell which one is yours from 20 yards, then it's not really going to make a difference" school of thought.

But the FE is now making me think otherwise. I can get <letter>5 SFE for not much money which could look like "SS FE" if spaced right (yes, I know hofficer...)

(CH1 would also be nice but I don't really need another mortgage)

The question is, should I do it? The poll results won't dictate what I do, but I'm genuinely undecided. Thoughts please...

I have a private plate on my bike, and the missus does on hers. They're not bike specific though in what they say, so can be transferred to other bikes. I think car/bike specific ones are a bit daft. Personal plates e.g. initials make much more sense.

So I voted "Yes", but reading your example of "SS FE" I would say don't bother. I think that one sounds pants.

"P4 NTS" also already taken

I was always against private plates and considered them to be more "vanity plates". But seeing as the prices came reet down and I had opportunity, I blinged up the new bike with a nice little number that I can swap to any other vehicle.
Agree with Twinfan on the vehicle specific one though, you may not get the money back when selling the bike.

Got one, love it and hides the age of the bike ..... all for £250.

Gets over all the cr*p when someone starts to **** your bike off cause it's not on the latest number plate.

Best one I EVER saw was FUP16S on a black Beemer being driven by - you guessed it, 3 black dudes in shades. Talk about living dangerously!



















PS: For those that can't work it out, it was spaced to read FU Pigs! :sing:

i am looking at one for me, its got both bike and initials as i couldnt find it i e mailed the DVLA and its coming up later in the year at one of their auctions. They have promised to me mail me in advance as I showed interest, maybe you could do the same but use your own initials not mine !:sing::burn:

Living in Wigan I nearly purchased W16 ANR which could have been set as

W16AN R

meaning Wigganer. But, the bloke at the DVLA said that it would devalue my bike to nearly next to nothing.
