bub2006 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 FFS! I watched you ride off backwards in Matlock today! I saw it & thought that looks bad enough for Bub to like & was stood leaning on a postbox when you left. I didn't realise it was you with a beard & no crutches or I'd have said something!I kept looking at you as I thought you looked familiar! I don't use crutches but have a walking stick. Plus my beard is a fair bit longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 I like it even though it has the looks only a mother could love, it looks a good bit of fun, please don't ride it on Halloween dressed as a ghost with those final 3 letters on the number plateErm no, definitely not happening! purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Moobs shirley? Grotesque. Much win. Bonus AS points if you get a pickelhaube or perhaps a Zulu-style topi to wear while outraging public decency. A coal scuttle would give a more authentic Black Widows look but combined with the number plate might give people the wrong idea. I can picture you rocking up to a caravan site with one of those folding camper things hitched up behind and generally alarming the public. Trailer tent next on list. I also generally alarm the public anyway! chaseracer, purplebargeken, Tamworthbay and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Suddenly, the Invacar feels a lot safer. And prettier. Safer I'm not so sure. But yes the invacar has a sort of cute face to it and this looks like a result of angry sex between Jonny 5 and a Rialto!

Dick Longbridge Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Sure looks unique, fella. Whatever makes you happy though - that’s what it’s all about. Thought this was yours as a work in progress for a mo, but wrong registration. If you’re not keen on the white hat crew number plate, couldn’t you sell it to the bloke earlier in the thread, and pocket a couple of quid? bub2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 No tinder profile! But thanks,like I said my bikes raised a massive grin and this does too. It certainly lifts the mood.

Mally Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 If it's possible to sort another reg out I'd certainly consider it! You could buy a cheap reg, irish maybe, and transfer it on, but it would have to be older than the one on the trike, and would involve some cash.It may be worth contacting the DVLA and tell them you/others find it offensive and see if they will help..

DodgeRover Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 If someone was to offer me $$$$ for the plate I would sell it but I can't see any reason to change it otherwise. We live in the UK in 2018 not the Deep South in the 60s for god sake, people need to get a grip and move on.You could just as easily moan that you are offended by plates with HH or 88 in them More importantly black and silver plate? Wouldn't stick on letters on a bent alloy plate be more in keeping with the rat/ survival vibe ? purplebargeken, bub2006, AlabamaShrimp and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 You could buy a cheap reg, irish maybe, and transfer it on, but it would have to be older than the one on the trike, and would involve some cash.. I'm not quite sure of the ins and outs of this one, but there may be some wriggle room on NI 'cherished plates' - see the recent Lazy Spotters Thread for a discussion about a 1993-issued NI plate (AAZ10) on a 1990 VW Scirocco... I've TAZ6941 going to the crusher shortly (taxed and MOT'd still, but terminal engine failure last week) though it's a 1998 plate - but if it's possible to transfer, you're welcome to it, Bub... purplebargeken, MorrisItalSLX and Tamworthbay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the connations of it but it's just a reg plate to me!Phone the DVLA, tell them that you have been getting abuse off people for the reg number and its connotations to the Klan.They will offer you a ONE time only swap - you get no choice of the reg number and it will be of the same year.They send you a new V5c and job bobbed.Its up to you whether you are faffed doing this. I know this as one of the nurses had a plate that looked like "cock" and got the piss taken out of her, she was a bit of a snowflake so the DVLA changed it for her. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also generally alarm the public anyway!Trailer tent and trike usually means you get loads of space left around you went camping In my experience nobody want to be woken with a hang over by the 10 kids in the next tent - obviously I can sleep through bikes bouncing off the limiter at 6am purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
