I have NY-911 on the trike: I had nuyorkr on my car but decided to get reg. plates

 

[donjack]

I've had " IM OK " on four different bikes, now on the 2011 ultra trike. Over twenty years now.

I have "1984G" for my 1200 Standard GoldWing...not so special.
Here in Ontario we are only allowed 5 characters for motorcycles. I asked for a few different ones..but they were all taken.:Shrug:

I guess I was thinking M/C only, but I see some of you listed other vehicles too; My PT Cruiser has Q-RIOT after an 80's? hard rock band, my Caravan has Q-200 after Bert Rutans' home built fiberglass aircraft, and my '83 Honda Sabre had V-45...still have that plate but not the bike.
I see that some of you in the U.S.A. are saying that even vanity plates need to be renewed..or someone else can get it?
Hmmm..here they are permanent..they are expensive..last time I got one it was $260. We can sell them, but no need to renew them. We just get a new validation sticker once per yr. Currently it's $74..

Just talked to my friend who got an '03 1800 GoldWing trike w matching trailer..we talked about vanity plates..now they are $276.50!!:AGGHH:

I have a Veterans tag.

 

[roadrunnerdavid]

I've always thought about what would be the hardest plate to remember if (for whatever reason) someone was trying to remember my tag number as I was speeding away....any thoughts?

 

[BlueTrinity]

Depends on who you're running away from !

[KRUZR]

I selcted and received "HD CSC". It's an Illinois Plate

 

[clint44]

With the Texas vanity I just ordered (thanks for reminding me :laugh: ) you can only have 4 characters. Mine is below.

The SS is the Navy's designator for submarines and the VT is for VET since I can only have 4 characters total.

If you don't mind me asking,what does TX charge now for a m/c vanity plate?
Car vanity plates are extremely expensive now and I was wondering if bike plates had seen the big rate increases,too.

Clint, the specialty plate fee is $30 and the personalization fee is $40. The TXDOT web site says the specialty fee must be paid annually in addition to the registration fee. It doesn't mention the personalization fee so I'm guessing that may be a one time fee. I saw a guy the other day who had a Navy tag with his SeaBee rate EO1 (equipment operator 1st class) on his bike. He said you had to contact them directly to order the military plates.

The plate I want for our trike would be $195/yr. It used to be $40/yr.
If I'm not mistaken,that's just the vanity fee and the regular $55/yr registration is extra. Sorry but I'm not going to pay our greedy state $250/yr for a silly license plate.

 

[olguy]

Is that in addition to registration? I didn't see any motorcycle plates that expensive.

I've always had to pay extra for registration.

 

[olguy]

I know. Now mine will cost $30 more.

Indiana firefighter plate.
Here we have an excise tax on all motor vehicles. 2013 plates for my 11 TG, $475.00. Go figure!
40 of that is for the firefighter (vanity) plate.

I just bought my first trike this week. 2010 TG. I was searching last night on the Motor Vehicle site for my state and found TRIKE is still available. So I went with that...


best ever vanity plate I saw was in VA on a brand new Cherokee ....washis

no hard feelings there.......ThumbUp
