What are your thoughts on vanity plates? I have been thinking about them, but it's really hard to fit something meaningful in 5 letters or less!

Only acceptable if you live in Illinois.

I almost got "GS500F" for my bike here in NY. But figured that might be kinda cheesey. Couldn't come up with anything better though so I stoped entertaining the idea. If I could have come up with something good, I would have done it! We can have 6 charectars.

you guys get six - no fair!

If my name was "Pandy" I'd have no problem

I think it's taken.  

I like vanity plates..I'm trying to think of good ones for both my car and my Baby G.  

I like them too... here's what I've come up with:

(since I'm stuck on Italian women's names for my next bike - don't ask me why)

QUORA ~ means "heart"
TESSA
ZOLA ~ means "ball of earth"
LEOLA ~ means lion
MADMS ~ my writing name!

You are GREAT at coming up with good ones...I suck, so it's taken me over a year to not come up with anything good for either of my plates.

baby names on the internet m'dear I suck too otherwise!

I came up with one in NY before I got my bike, so I let my friend use it for his VFR.

I'm not joking.  That's his real plate.

oh that's too funny!

F ME

(I was thinking about it when I had my F650, but a personalized plate costs the same for a car or a bike out here...)

Alabama gets 7 letters, and it costs $50. The girl who I bought my bike from had one.

Vanity plates are too easy to remimber when your fleeing the scene :lol:

I know that out here they screen all vanity plate requests for "potentially offensive" material and deny them.

I think vanity plates are a little silly, unnecessarily expensive, and too easy to remember.  I don't want my tag number to stick in people's memory (not that I'd ever do anything that would cause a problem ).  Although I'd love to see "FUBAR" on a rat bike.

I still think the best on a bike I've heard about is here in the bay area:

HOMEB4U

I've had them on my car as long as I can remember, and re: the "hard to forget" comment you can't miss my yellow GS, it's the only one in the valley with a pink cow attached to the back of it - and people see me "everywhere" so a vanity plate wouldn't make any difference I don't think  :mrgreen:

You must have one heck of a bungee cord!  I'm not even sure I could get a small dog on mine...but a cow?

I thought about it, but after finding out that it'd cost me $20 for the lisence plate and an additional $70 for the customization, I said thats that ridiculous and got my crappy normal plate for $20, thats all without tax too... I saw a ricer Honda Civic with "IXLR8" on the plate and I thought that was pretty cool, too bad it was on that car.

I got a cat under a bungee once, we got him stoned on catnip first, or no, wait, we actually got him stoned using the shotgun method!

My thoughts on personalized plate are as follows: I'd rather spend the money on a new set of gloves.

TESSA

Ehm...well....I don't want to sound boring but I'm italian...

CUORE means 'heart', not 'quora'
what's TESSA??
ZOLLA (with double L) it means 'ball of earth', but it hasn't got such a positive and beautiful meaning in italian
LEONE is the male lion, LEONESSA is the female

I don't want you to go around with a bike with a sensless name!
