I just bought a mint and lovingly owned 1982 Suzuki GS750E for next to nothing. Really, the tires I am buying for it will cost more than the bike and the license, title and tax put together! I kinda want vanity plates, silly yeah but whatever. I want it to be funny in a thinking sort of way, any ideas? Rules: 6 characters, cant intermix numbers and letter, e.g. mikeg 1 is fine, 1 mike 1 is not. Genuis is available for when I am in a self deprecating mood. My main online name is octarine but that’s too long:( It’s 20 bucks cheaper to have a combo of letters and numbers. ---

I had a friend that on her motorcycle she had the plate, “DNR”… Though she is a medic and thought it was funny. She also loved the reactions of people who didn’t agree with it… Depends what you consider “funny”… ---

maybe ANDZEN or ZENAND for the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? I don’t know a lot about motorcycles, but I loves me that book! ---

NAKED (IIRC, the GS series is a naked bike? Even funnier that most people won’t get it. But I’m weird like that.) ---

There is a black Ninja-looking bike around here that has “NAZGUL” on the plate. Pretty cool. ---

Speaking of Arlo, I just realized a good one: **PICKLE** Those who got it would love it, those that didn’t would be very mystified.
