Numbers

Don’t

 

Number board,yes.Number,no.

 

Depends on the bike, if it's a vintage or period bike, e.g; MHR, or Paul Smart rep a number can be ok, but otherwise, no.

 

63983009187734562871 has always been my lucky number. I'd go for that, it's been good for me.

 

This is one of the reasons i did not buy a 900 superlight back in the day

 

How about Pi?

Might need a longer swing arm though, which will slow the steering somewhat ...

 

Is yours the metallic red modified one? If so no number, only really for race rep's not custom/modded bikes in my opinion.

 

Unless it’s 69!

 

With that number you never look as though you’re in trouble

 

3......joey.

 

If you were ever accused of racing on the public highway (a serious offence), having a big racing number displayed on the bike would not help your defence.

 

Cop cars have big numbers on the roof, like NASCAR. I might mention that to Officer Dibble, next time I'm pulled for racing, and having a "big racing number" displayed on my bike is used as evidence to accuse me.

 

Do judges' and magistrates' minds really work that way?

I mean, I won't be surprised or disappointed ... it's just nice to have confirmation of what I already suspect is true.

 

Hmm, my bike's fairings are fire engine red ... will the magistrate accuse me of thinking I'm riding a fire engine ...?

 

My view is always it’s your bike so put whatever number or whatever on it that you want, not what anyone else thinks you should.

 

Only if you ride along going "nee-nar nee-nar". But if you do, you deserve it tbh.

 

That's how I imagine his voice when I read his posts
