Ducati Monster Forum

So I was thinking of getting vanity plates for my car when I get my bike and I had a couple ideas but I wanted to see if anyone out here had some creative or interesting vanity plates for their bike or car.

I was thinking DUCMAN or DUCGUY.... Not very creative, just a thought, will probably not end up getting one, but could still make for an interesting thread.

Or if you saw someone else with a clever one throw it up here, for instance, my neighbor,  on his huge lifted truck has "URAH8R"

I always liked DUC IT, DUC U(you get the jist), DUCTHIS, FASTDUC, QUIKDUC....depends on the guy and the bike though 8)

BP I could swear I have seen pics of your bike as a standard red 1098....have you always had an "S"?

Oh yeah.....thats a bad motha shut yo mouth! 8)

it's not an s.... its a base model 1098 thats now a dark  8)

clean tires! whats wrong with you!

A few years ago, I was dared to get the plate on the left and was shocked that the DMV gave it to me, then......my best friend picked up the plate on the right. We often would ride down the road "CHIPS" style with me on the left......

I used to have PSTARKT on my M750 ~

Don't have a pic right now, but my plate says NAKID, hence my name...

I don't understand the mentality behind having a plate implying how fast you are.  Think about your chances of getting a warning when stopped for speeding if you have a plate like 2FAST4U.  I prefer the other extreme to get the cop thinking about why he should let me off.

I'm still waiting for THUMMPA from the DMV to put on my XR650L which will be parked right next to GRAMMPA (my ST2).  It seemed like the obvious plate to get.  Since I've just been informed that I will have twelve grandchildren by the end of this year, the rest of my plates should make sense:

(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/scottrnelson/Ducati/SBKPipes.jpg)

We have:

TES749
TES999
DUCL2N
DESL2N
FATV2N

mine
ADKSZQK

I have NKID DUC in FL.  I had to take a brochure to the DMV to convince them it was an actual type of bike.

Yeah, my "NAKID" had to go through a "decency board" even after I explained on the form what it meant. Took me over 4 months to get the plate issued to me...

(http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Tiavenger/620002.jpg)

You can barley see my old one.  ;D

I wouldn't mind having SPAGETTI

JM

(http://www.mikemo.org/bikes/LoudDuc.jpg)

You could steal my board name: FASTWIN Or if you're limited to 6 letters/numbers: FASTWN. Hey, maybe I should use that myself!! [laugh]

I still maintain it's best not to have a plater others can easily remember. Idk about the rest of you but every now and again on the bike, I ride like an asshat.

I'm still freakin' laughin' -  [clap]

ooh, how about ASSHAT??

or BUELL

or QWAKR

or WOP BIKE

I thought about STFUDUC and WTFDUC.  Then I remembered how old I was   ;D.  I'm fixin on tucking mine up under the tail anyway so it probably won't matter too much what people see as I'm whizzing by.

MOSTRO

FORTE

CON BRIO

here's mine...

Mine is "CAFRCR".

my old cafe bike

and then duplicated in admiration...
(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/realityfooeldme/tattoos/xtonupx-2.jpg)

i have seen random combinations of both 1's and I's and 8's and B's  like '1I11II'
pretty much illegible from any real distance

kinda looks like a bar code

I got "3 COLORE" and still had to endure the grilling by the DMV. She was convinced it meant something indecent.

How about:

~DaVe

Someone on TOB had MWMWMWM.....

my dad has 8v8tor for "aviator" hes a pilot too.

I have 'DSMO 750' on my Cafe Racer, but since I'm building the motor out to an 885cc monster....I need a new plate!  [laugh]

I'm leaning toward 'M CR'...

How about

NvrDone

 [laugh] [laugh]

pot calling the kettle black.   ;)

No my current one is

WatBike

I was thinking about 'NVR4SLE' but 'NVRDONE' ain't bad either!  [laugh]

Close.  There are some Vs in there too.  That is my 1098 stealth plate.

Thought it was your Rob...

I've always thought about getting "BLAK BOX" for my car. Its a Volvo.

(http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/dustykitska/dvlduc3-1.jpg)

Since mine always makes me feel like this:

(http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/66/l_76676b32aa94499b980e4841e3847be6.png)

1FST1



I was also considering: AFTRU

I have thought about getting one for a while for the cage, until it was made to sit in the driveway almost full time by the duc, so...

0XFFFF

Has been what I have been considering for placement on the bike. Not duc related, but more in line with what I do at work day-in, day-out.

(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/nordog59/InspectionSticker.jpg)

It looks like it says SARS. maybe it'll keep a germaphobe from wanting to steal it.

Mine is the same as my name on here; DRKWNG

M900 - Duckky
748 - YLWDUK

I always wanted to get BLACKBOX for my Volvo station wagon.

I'd need to get the windows tinted first, tho. Just to give the full effect. 

I have a black monster and my brother has a white one- we thought about a pair of plates when we got the bikes, but just couldn't pull the trigger on account of two things: 1. The notion of our family and friends that vanity plates = d bag, and 2. We both figure on upgrading in the next year or so, so there's no telling what we'll wind up with. But we still think our idea was decent:

Mine would have been MAVRK
His would have been ICEMN

In that case, yes, vanity tag would most certainly = D-bag.

UNLESS you're both pilots.

In which case it would simply be incestuously homoerotic.

 ;)

Thought about one I saw on a Turbo Porsche years ago.

For the " R "        ADDIOS

Dolph     :)

46-WLF

My Valentino Rossi tribute plate. I assume you all know what the WLF on Rossi's leathers stands for.  ;D

i've always liked the one on my neighbor's M3:
MUUHAHA

I just threw up a little into my mouth.

Here's mine.

(http://members.cox.net/carl22/pics/wreck1.jpg)

Sorry, I just couldn't resist pointing out the self-derby within one page on the same thread.   ;D


and, for the record, I'd think that was a funny plate.  As you were...

Okay, call me slow, square, or whatever, but someone, please tell me, WHAT is a derby?

This is the first thing that came to mind, from the 125 MotoGP races:
(http://armotorcyclesltd.com/images/Ajo_Motorsport_Di_Meglio.jpg)

heres my monster...

(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh68/mrpleaseplease/monster/IMG_2755.jpg)

heres my cts... (its my sons name)

(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg101/PJFZ1/Expo%20Bikes/IMG_8751Medium.jpg)

What pipe is that?

Just ordered:

"ELMO"

for my little red Monster. My 2-yr-old son liked the idea. ;D

Now that there is some funny stuff!

Meh. S'what I get for posting while wasted.  [coffee]

My "Splash Pattern" Monster has WTF DUC  (when the clerk asked, my sister told her it stood for West TN Female duc riders)
My 97 Monster is ODDUC
My Indiana is IMA DUC (cause everybody wants to know what it is, or how they wedged a ducati engine in a Yamaha)

Vanity plates = easy for  [leo] to identify you

not that it is hard in the first place.

(used to have one on my car but got rid of it)

OK. 



Does your subject line on the thread read "Vanity Plates  Yes or No" ?

And what are you doing that cops would recognize you based on you plate?

Last time I checked, they just pull you over.  Did you rob a bank?

I don't expect to get away anyway, so I want one that is more likely to have them thinking "warning" rather than "ticket".  Which do you think a plate like 2FAST4U is going to immediately make the LEO consider?

For the record, I have not received any tickets on either my bikes or car since I got the various GRAMPA license plates.  I've gotten a few warnings, though.

I've seen some strange ones for sure. 


dragne
raceme
blome
driftin (on a car)
f leo (no shit)
puscop (I know her, & yes she's a cop)

Actually, the easiest way for them to identify me is when I hand them my driver's license and insurance card.

Being a bit, ah, vigorous in riding style is one thing.  Running from the cops in the hopes that they can't see my plate is a whole different animal.

Not for me.

6ULDV8 is a perinnial favorite.

I want to get   FUSEAKU

Point taken.   [bow_down]

Too late to delete the post  :P
 ;)

Thats what you put on the side of your Screamin Eagle drag bike avatar.   [laugh]

It's all good.

 But now you have to come up with one.    ;D

There is a member here (haven't seen him in a while) with a vanity plate MWMWMWM

Try to read that at a distance...

I don't know how to quote two posts but, I think we have another self-derby

Yeah yeah yeah, it was 7 months ago...

These guys have memories like elephants.

and that's a very memorable plate.

 [clap]
I knew there was something that stopped us from getting those plates... but you're right--it wouldn't have been cool because only one of us is a pilot.

Closest I could get to MONSTER on mine was MNSTR1.  People either thought I was a minstrel or menstrual...  Swapped out to CHUD shortly after.

Then it should have been...

MAVRK

and

GOOSE

Only if the non pilot was riding cupcake...

Well, anything's possible in this story.   [cheeky]

(http://www.runswithscissors.info/images/cars/monster3215sm.jpg)

Mmm okaaay...

While we're dicussing that vanity plates make you more memorable, it's not necessarily to the authorities. Ever piss someone off while riding? Now they *definitely* remember you, and can definitely identify your bike later. Keep this in mind if you ride like some sort of asshat.

four balls and two wheels does not add up no matter how you do the math

Ding, Ding, Ding.....better to have a plain old, hard to read moto plate.

Heres the plate on my Hyper Devil

i have seen this car around milwaukee a few times.  you don't forget it

(http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/epic-fail-license-fail.jpg)

 [laugh] [laugh]



I was trying a few equations and the only way I could get it to add up is to factor in a disabled/crashed bike.
So it is not impossible.

DESMO.


 [moto]

Saw this one while in NY last year for Christmas.




(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3083/3139876929_b00600a57f.jpg)

DUCATIA in California.

There is a guy who used to be on here and his plate was SOCMEL which is suposed to translate to blow me in Bolognesi. He told me he sent a pic of it to Ducati.

Dumb and slightly embarrassing
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/pompino/DSCN2438.jpg)
sorta like me.   :D

This is why I never got tatoos.   [laugh]

Some country bumkin at Cycle Gear saw it and yelled out, "Illinois douche?!"   [laugh] [laugh]

Yeah, but the trains run on time.

I was thinking "I'll duce" as in take a dump...
 [laugh]

 [laugh]  [laugh]

Um...

Seat cowl stripes were "crooked" for a looong time.

(pics gratuitously swiped form the "Bikes of the DMF" thread.")

here's mine.. someone else here had "leanme", which i thought was pretty cool.  in TX you're limited to 4 characters.

(http://www.henryism.com/images/lean/album/slides/IMG_1663.JPG)

(http://i45.tinypic.com/hu3fxv.jpg)

There a joke in there, somewhere ;D

Hell, Austin's got at least a dozen I can think of off the top of my head. Oh wait, IZ moved back to Arizona. Make it eleven.

Character is something you should have, not something you become.

On my 696:

UNDRBED

On my Honda Fit:

HISSS E

care to explain those for those of us that are ignorant?

Never saw it myself, but a friend once told me of seeing a plate that read...

6ULDV8

Well, clearly the last one would make it a "HISSS E Fit"

696.... Monster... Underbed.

Monster under the bed. Very clever.  [thumbsup]

I'm crossing my fingers that the plate I want is still available this spring when I get my Monster...

SCARY

Had MNSTR1 on the 695 until I switched to veteran's plates.  Only 4 spaces on the vet's plates, so I changed it to my nickname from the corps: CHUD.

People always mistook MNSTR1 for minstrel and menstrual, so wasn't too sad about the switch.   [laugh]

Kept the same vet's plate on the new Daytona.  I get pulled over a lot less now.  [thumbsup]

in my opinion vanity plates are really lame

Well in that case you are more than welcome to keep that opinion to yourself. 







  ;)

 :-[

Oh come on, that was just asking for it [cheeky] [laugh]

Betty,  How are those Kriega bags working out?

I'd like to have a custom plate on my bikes but nothing clever enough to be on a plate has come to mind. I've seen a few good ones on cars. I once was going to get FAST51 for my Hayden Rep RC51 but someone already had it.

Every once in a while I start thinking about this topic when I am riding.  I laughed all the way home the other day wondering what "MamaMia" would look like on my 1198s.  Chime in folks   [moto]

How about "I Lean"  ;D

(I know it's been shown before - but it fits, no?)

Saw what appeared to be a police auction Crown Vic earlier today.....JESUS was on the plate.

I drive a police auction crown vic, just checked the dmv website, jesus is taken but satan is available...

(http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss196/fordv8racing/DSCF0251.jpg)               my plate

^I like what's going on in that garage.^

mine is "Qwack" as seen in my pix... [moto]

On my old R1 I had "POWERED" - it was stolen while @ school.

I just checked the DMV site here in Cali and MONST8R is available.  [beer]

(http://www.henryism.com/images/misc/IMG_1783B.JPG)

OK... I also live in Dallas and I have never seen a TX custom plate like that. What is it?? I have seen Ben Spies on Abrams twice in his black Porsche Cayenne Turbo with "ELBOWZ" plates! [thumbsup] [moto]

That's hilarious  [thumbsup]

RED RUM  [evil]

In michigan we have a site to see what plates are available, but im moving to Colorado in a few weeks, and was considering "MNSTR" if its available, but i cant seem to find the site similar to Michigans.

any help?

Saw a couple on cruisers this weekend

Guy's bike:          Woman's bike:
  CHASN                  TALE

Just searched and saw that the plate I have here in Hawaii (DRKWNG) is already taken in Virginia.  Looks like I will have to renew my safety and reg to extend the amount of time I can keep "flying the colors". 

[cheeky]

Bike week always brings out some interesting plates!

Im not sure if this helps the OP or not but here is my plate.

Gotta be a serious engineer to name your bike "Dork duc"  :P

it's the San Jacinto Historic District plate.  I just thought it looked kinda cool.

Mine says a little about me, being a chef and all... I really wanted ciao, but it was taken so being punster and a chef.... ;D

I allow the word to follow me wherever I go. Even when it sits still.

As yes, NSPYR, expanded out gives us Nose Pyre, or if you will, fire of the snout. Clearly the implication is one is a firebreather.








Yes I  know it's "Inspire" but you guys know, just because you see one thing, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't see another  ;)

this is the second 696 i've seen with the tail light upside down, wtf.

Hey, it looks like your plate expired back in 2009!!!

[leo]

LOL!

You mean on this bike? Is that even a stock light?

*sigh* yeah, but my bike has 9" tall numbers on the nose and sides ;-)

NH moto plates allow only 5 characters.

Mine is P5YCL
Wife's is QT314
The Vespa is VE5PA

I wanted IF2XLR8, but it was too long.

The wife vetoed DONOR.

   She has been reinstated for 2010. I'm as legal as I'm gonna get!  [wine]

Just walked out of my office today to find my vanity plate hanging by the plate light wire.  Someone must have backed into the bike and took off.

I'm just razzing you because I let mine lapse and just got it reregistered.  [cheeky]

lol of course its a stock light, just upside down... ???
