I'm thinking of getting a vanity plate for the bike, but I lack creativity. I can have 6 letters, or numbers, but I can't intermix letters and numbers without a space. The IL DMV website has a cool interactive program, you can try it out PICK A PLATE . Just click on the motorcycle, 150cc & above. There are a couple I have come up with that are available. UK FE BRIT FE Like I said, I lack creativity, so I'm calling on you guys to help me out!

Kinda hung up "RATS" over there, huh Keith?  You could try "UKIRON" since you seem to be leaning that way, or BRTIRN. BRTBIK, BRBIKE, TRUMPT, TRMPET, ANTIHD, NOTAHD, NORICE, LIKMCQ (Like McQueen). 4 RIDN.

Actually Scott, I think your "UK FE" and "BRIT FE" are pretty good...especially the latter one!  (but then again, what do I know...I mean just look at how "imaginative" my handle is around here, dude!!!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Yeah Scott, why don't cha see if the state of Illinois can issue ya somethin' like one of those big ol' "fancy" british license plates with not only ONE row of letters and/or numbers, but TWO whole rows just like THAT one!!! (sorry Paul, I guess I'm just in more of a "playful" mode today than I usually am...I know you meant only the letters on that...sorry)

Dwight, maybe it's a Brit thing, being used to big ol' number plates, but it actualy reads "Trio rat", hence the R3 reference from Paul

BOLLOX is unavailable, that would have been my first choice.
NOTAHD also taken
3 UMPH can't use for some reason, IL is stupid
BRTIRN or BRTBIK or BRITBK are cool too.
IMVAIN sounds more at home on a harley
I also thought SSAMUD would be cool, but it may not get through.

I kinda like the idea of the tied in plates. No other bikes, but the cars would do.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

They're playing a few places this summer with a new singer/guitarist. They have to call it "Sublime with Rome". Something like 10 shows.
