    409 - the beach boys song popped in my head when I was trying to come up with a number when I first started doing trackdays and I've been using it ever since

    I used 888 as a joke when I started track ridding in 2007. No matter how the bike was oreinted, up or down, it was easy to know that it was the noob.

    Now, I am in search for a new number with some personal meaning. But if I can't find one I'll get whatever is there that no one wants.

    BTW, for official race numbers, why isn't there (or is there?) an official posted list of all the used numbers for the curent season? That would make it easier to select your preferred number.

    199. My '76 XS650 Cafe Racer is nicknamed The Blue Plate Special because it was resto-modded on the cheap. $1.99 is the old diner daily special cost.

    Nope, already had it when I went lumberjacking, and kept it when I went to expert. It's the only number I've ever had or will have. :up:

    you need to remember this: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2064702

    to get the joke. Winslow was #80 for the browns. my bike is #80, and is painted like a browns helmet.

    Now that they traded him, i've considered changing numbers, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    My hubby's is 413 as well. It's our anniversary. We were at Roebling and he really wanted that number but it was taken so he was going to use my birthday. Was talking to the guy who had 413 (who just happened to be there) and he told me it was his last race and if we wanted it, no prob. He talked to Ev and it's been ours ever since.

    Originally 97 way back in my MX days in the early 90's ended up being my graduating year. When I got good enough in MX I had to add a 9 to get into the bigger races so was 997. It stuck no one wants that high of number so you don't have to many with the same number, use it in MX, Sumo, and RR now.
