What is/was your race number and why?

719

it was assigned to me at the World Minis when i rode 80's and have sported it ever since... going on 13 years with the same number.

i see it everywhere though... time, cost of products, hotel room numbers, etc

14 as a tribute to KW.

712

was already on the first real YZ125 I got.

Also have run 718 and 791 as assigned

321 - I requested 123 and some dyslexic dork at the CMA (Canada's FIM affiliate) gave me 321. 123 was actually available, but due to someone who had one too many, it got reversed. Too late to turn back, and the numbers I had just needed to be installed in a different order.

Why 123 ... or 321? Seemed like a natural 3 digit number to me.

Normally i run #969, B-Day. I have #4 on my bike right now in honor of a great friend and moto buddy that recently passed.

769 = birthdate July 1969
oh yeah it used to be 143 for 1 for threesomes, but I got married and screwed up telling my wife what it meant so it had to go. lol

326- It was issued to me at my first ever GFI winter series

72, A great year. The Chief was born that year.

666... Don't ask why

#23 here, my uncle put it on my pw50 when I started riding, because he ran #23 at the time to, and it's just stuck since. I'm going to switch it up and run #512 [birthday] on the next set of pre prints I get though.

38T .....38 has always been my number. I requested it at my first race but they added the T for Taylor(my last name).....everything is 38T now...

Fro was #11 on his Yam.

my LL's number back in 91 was #176 and i have kept it most of the time. it was dropped to 76 for a couple years.

#151, my buddie and I were trying to think of my new race number while having a few drinks, i looked down at my bacardi bottle and saw 151. The number stuck.

390, it was the last 3 digits of my AMA #. I've had that since 1990

71,895,85.
given to me at very first race,given to me as an ama #, asked to get a 2 digit to clean up my number plates.

now that is epic bro

My originally assigned number (way back was 28). Can't race now, but any vintage bikes that get numbers run 75, because that was my transplant number at the center that did that bit of cut and paste (also the year I graduated from HS). No numbers on any modern bikes.

I used to run 509, the number of my father's platoon in WWII.

40...Johnny O'Mara's number 1st year factory Honda.

13. Was my Dad's race number when he raced boats and his birthday. I used it for years when I raced boats and have kept it in the transition to mx.

Number 234, First avaliable numbe when I started racing was 220 I didnt want that so took the next avaliable number 234.

Nearly had to change it for the first time in 10 years this year due to number allocation chaning in my state, I run clubman (C grade) C grade numbers now start from 251 and over. Got to keep my number for this season as I have had it for 10 years and will be old enough for Vets next year.

Cool story !

When it did look like I was going to have to change was going to follow in the footsteps of a great French man and change the 2 to a 9

Ive been running 620 since 2005 - my sons birthday. It used to be 627

514 Birthday

the ama gave it to me; 307

What reality show? Did it have Rich Kings (flat track dude) son?

Was running 437 for a long while then I moved to Alaska. Anchorage has to be even numbers and the spring before my first season here Jesse Masterpool passed. I had known Jessie since he came over to me and introduced himself at Honey Lake when he was really young on 60s.I did a lot of riding with him at Mustang Motorplex when Jerry owned it and also made my way out to his ranch for some moto to. So now I run his number in remberance.
This is my 09 450. I will be running the same number on my 350 this year

I use to run #927for years, no real reason why.

I now run #797, it was my good friends number who passed away last year in a small plane crash. I did it for him and has been very good to me since I started running it.
