13 plate? Are you superstitious

  1. Will the 13 plate put you off buying in the next 6months?
    I will not be changing my bike but will be getting a new car which is not due until late July so I am waiting till September 1st, not sure if its because of superstition or value at a later date.
    What do you all think?

  2. Is this for real ?
     
  3. I've had about 3 customers who this has affected. Nobody else is bothered at all.
     
  4. Some people won't use checkout 13
    They don't have 13 in new builds

    Personally I like 13 so anything with it in I'm happy
     
  5. that Subaru pick up I owned that got nicked

    its reg was 666

    it had more punctures than any other vehicle I owned

    but it was a heap of shite and the key had snapped off in the ingnition so I could never lock the doors or take the key out of the ignition - which was why it got nicked

    probably got punctures as it had remoulds on

    never liked it anyway
     
  6. Is there no depth beneath which human utter stupidity will not sink?

  7. It's bad luck to be superstitious.........


    ....and I deliberately bought my car number plate with '13' in it........£50.

    AL
     
  8. I'd heard that the DVLA were letting people use 62 plates if they were that troubled by it..... But I'm not sure I beleive the rumour! I'll be happy with a 13 plate thanks!
     
  9. I cannot wait to get my 13 plate roll on next Friday !
    However I am not walking under any ladders to get there :rolleyes:

  10. Ducati doing discounts on the bad luck model, limited time only... 6 months lol
     
  11. We said at the beginning of the year that 2013 was gong to be a lucky year for us. We are only 2 months into the year and so far.....

    We've had a burst pipe in the floor causing loads of damage. A rat has also chewed through our central heating pipes, result no hot water or central heating. The rat also took up residence in my Porsche and chewed all the wiring. And finally last weekend some thieving tw*t nicked the number plates off my other car and used them to steal fuel from our local petrol station!

    Who says 13 is an unlucky number!?
     

  12. There are some MTS owners who prefer the look of their tyres, rather than the actual performance of them. Go figure.
     
  13. Superstitious? Nope. My 2013 bike's got a 62 plate on it :)
     
  14. Clearly not. I think superstition and religion belong in the same rubbish bin.

  15. I've just bought a 2013 multistrada. No I'm not bothered.
     
  16. hear, hear...although i will be praying that the duke starts after its extended layoff...
     
  17. Not bothered, my next co car is due in June, it will be abused and thrashed just as much as the current one.
