My number plate was included in the OTR price, does the same job, and I got to pick it from a list. :)

I add the unique personal touch to my bike by being the one sat on it when it's moving.

I clearly have more sense than money. I'm happy there.

Enjoy.

I have a private plate on my bike, or rather something that means something to me and a few people that know my name and are switched on. To anyone else it's a normal plate. Sometimes I fancy spacing it out to be more obvious but that takes away part of the appeal.
The plate is SP02ELL... And my surname is Powell.
My wife has the CP version, my dad the RP one and my step mum the PP one. So to us they mean something, but rarely does anyone mention it.

Not always the case...

When I had my Varadero a few years back I got a knock on the door one Saturday morning from the local plod. He very politely enquired if I had been involved in a hit and run incident in Durham the weekend before. I showed him my log book, MOT & insurance (even photocopied them for him) and then showed him the bike in the garage. He was quite taken aback as he was expecting to see a black Ford Mondeo ! After checking frame & engine numbers and confirming that my bike was the genuine user of that number plate (and not a black Mondeo) with the DVLA off he went, never to be seen or heard of again. Odd.

Call me pedantic but I would have expected any half decent plod to have checked that much out with the DVLA BEFORE he came knocking on your door.  :GRR:
