Is it cheesy to run numbers, if you don't race?

Who remembers "Slick 69" from Lake Elsinore back when?

I see no problem at all, although personally I wouldn’t really run a single digit or red background, it’s kinda cringey.

I haven’t raced since the early 70’s, my bikes always have numbers. They are based on family for good ju ju, so I do t auger in that often.

If somebody asks you about your numbers just tell them " I have so fucking many of them I can't keep track so I had to number them" and walk away like a baller.

I think bikes look better with numbers personally and I don’t race at this point in my life. Just pick a number you like and roll with it. I’ve ridden with plenty of people who have had numbers on their bikes but didn’t race. Motocrossers are a pretty mellow bunch and nobody ever bothered them about it. We’re all just wanting to enjoy our hobby. Although I will say it seems like the lower the number you run the more guys at the track will want to pace you on a practice day.

7 digits? I can't call anyone using 7 digits

Run either 420.. for obvious reasons or the year of your bike…. Just make sure you know what year your bike is, most of the guys that try this, have no idea what year they actual have👌If you really want to appeal o the lowest common denominator you can run 69 and “I eat ass” on the swingarm…
