Had a Superlight that came with SL904 from the previous owner. I guess SL900 was taken; still, not bad.

I had "IL DUCE" it was awesome! My Italian friends asked for my expired plates.
Some of the American friends didn't get it.
I have to admit I don't get it either. wonder why lol
Hmm ... probably for the same reasons as "IL DUCE". Without getting 'all political' most would consider them two sides of the one coin. |

It's Italian for "The Leader". |

Yeah but it's really the Italian equivalent of Der Fuhrer. That's what they called Mussolini. |

I knew that... It's one of the reasons we don't discuss politics or political leaders. Let's change direction here...K? |

I'm generally not a fan of vanity plates. Imo they need to be pertaining to the vehicle or very clever because down here, they are 500+ bucks just for the actual plate, plus an activation fee. My wife got me one for my 50th birthday. It's on the wall  . My old Superlight still has the excellent SL904 with its current owner and I imagine it will stay with the bike forever. |

It's all relative to context. In the movie Boondock Saints, Billy Connolly'a character was called Il Duce. I'm thinking that's the reference in this instance. Plus he's club president. |

That's not cheap. For me, normal tag is $28/year, and the vanity one is $48/year. If I ever get a Triumph, it'll be GOTUMPH? |

The script said "El douche" but he didn't like it. |

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
