895 would be mine
it seems like i've always had a "4" on my plate. 4, 14, 44, 46, 47, BP4, nat140...i guess 4 is my lucky number...or maybe unlucky number. Smile

A long time ago 1978-79 you could get by with two digits then MX grew and it was better to have three digits so when you showed up at the race it was unlikely someone already had your number.

723 has been my number for last 20 years - birthday is July 23 ( I know real original)
first number was 158 that is what my district gave me in 1981
then had 57 when raced "A" class - it was after a flat track racer but had to run a two digit while I could.

Breck, you know you're going to have to ride really slow so Mark Drost can read all those numbers when you ride by!

No joke!

I thought Breck was listing a Kansas zip code, at first.

#613 - had it my whole racing career.

I wanted #13 or #413 but it was taken so they automatically gave me the next closest number...

4 when I first started racing peewees. I was 4 so go figure. 112 when I started riding/racing again on 80's. I was using my brothers chest protector and he was 12 so I added a 1 I found in the toolbox. 81 after my best friend passed. That was his number since we were 12 years old.
