Who has my vanity plate?
In Pennsylvania vanity plates of five letters and numbers for motorcycles are allowed. So I applied for "R12R". Taken. "R1200"? taken. I couldn't think of anything else that would be suitable. Does anybody here from PA have those plates? What other vanity plates do people reading the forum have?

How about "ARR12"?

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
Here in NSW, most of the obvious plates have long gone - though "ARR12" is still available (if you're a pirate)!!!
I have "BMW05". I would have preferred "BMW08" (the year model) but choice is limited unless you want to spend a fortune. Still, I'm pretty happy with mine.

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
Okay, I'm taking my own advice. I just ordered a California vanity plate: "ARRR12R".
Heh.
Heh.

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
How about "RXIIR"
Sort of classical.
Now me, I want something totally random and not memorable, if you catch my drift.

Very good! Or RMCCR. No, I like yours better.
But I just don't understand wanting a random plate, and blanking the plate out when posting pictures. I sort of get that personality trait of people who do it, but not its functionality.

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
I Think it's all about "I didn't do it. And you can't prove that I did."
I blanked out the license on a pix of my R to see if I could do it. That's my storey and I'm sticking to it.

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
How about Roman numerals; it fits correctly:
RMCCR
MCC = 1200

Hmm for the technophiles ...R 10010110000 R sadly more than spaces allowed or indeed given the HEXhead R 4B0 R

I considered "KRAUT" but was told it might be insulting.

We can only have 7 characters.
I have DASBIKE. Think of the WW 2 German novel/film about the U boats, DASBOOT.

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
I got my plate! RXIIR, R12R in roman numerals. Thanks to the suggestion of AncientMariner. I may have to explain to people that, no, I am not a doctor or a pharmacist, though.

Re: Who has my vanity plate?
In Florida, with so many drivers even older than I am, I wanted my plate to be a help in defensive driving. Unfortunately, my choice and the variations were taken.

I need to do something--my current plates are a genetic disorder.
