I'm just fat .. And short I'd describe myself as a colourful weeble ! Not a pie eater just poxy medicines I'm pumped full of daily So don't get the pleasure of even getting fat by stuffing my face with cream cakes sniff .
My old LC had 'hedgehog' on the numberplate due to the amount of times I fell off it. My Renault 11 turbo had 'hedgehogs blowjob' on it (it also had a trip through a hedge). Thought of putting 'hedgehog returns' on the Ducati, but it might be tempting fate......
I'm a spoilsport and am happy that the plates in Switzerland are supplied by the state and don't have anything on them apart from the cantonal code (2 letters - my canton is VD, sigh) and your number. No personalised plates, no extraneous crap on them. They also have the far more important plus point of being considerably smaller than a UK plate. In Florida I noticed that you can't actually read the plates with all the superfluous pictures and slogans on them, the natty colours and typefaces. So your chances of getting the number of the twat who drove into you are slim. Even slimmer as cars don't have front numberplates at all.
I was so pleased with my first brand new bike, a 1996 Speed Triple, that I couldn't resist "Ooooh suits you sir!" in reference to The Fast Show's camp tailors.
At IOM TT many years ago on Douglas Prom, a turbo-charged GSXR with "More fun than a soapy tit-wank!"
Used to do the slogan thing a few years ago, but now simply have 'Ducati' or 'Honda' in the respective font. My old fave was www.eatshit&die.com, on a tiny ruler size plate that was mounted on velcro. Its quite a skill removing it and stuffing it down the front of your leathers whilst on the move, but it can be done. Apparently.
Mine has 'Better to burn out than fade away' on it from the great film Highlander...... There can be only one....
mr steve parrish, who lives locally, had a black merc with the numperplate P E N 1 5. I jest you not, and i believe he was prosecuted for it....
