The #8

Because they took 38 instead!

I miss the days of riders being assigned a number based upon points earned.

At the same time...career numbers are pretty cool and very marketable for riders, so I get that. 

But single digit numbers for 250 class riders is bogus!

Chiz has had his number since carburetors were on the line, no joke. 

Because it looks ugly on the bike. 

YEP, GL8 WAS THE LAST 8

Might be making a comeback after the nationals this year...

Why does noone run number 0 ?

This is sarcastic, right?

8 right up there in the numbers with the longest droughts.

It's not allowed in moto, you can't run the number 0 or a series of numbers starting with 0.

I think it could look sick on one of the bikes with the narrower bottoms on the front number plates. Like KTM or Ducati or Triumph

I really thought Haiden would take it. Keeps the Deegan trend, but makes it his own. 

The #8 looks ugly, that’s why lol

So who's the real #2?? Mc?? Rv?? Webb?? 

Nawww.. not a fan of career numbers, big fan of the lower the number the faster they are

James - "I'm not even the most popular #7 in my house"   😄 Last years finishing position as this years # was the coolest most honest system ever, and unique to MX / SX. Too bad that horse was beaten to death and buried long ago. 

I think the 8 looks great.  1st mx bike had 18 on it I bought it on my birthday 11-18-89 , 87 cr125. Then 118 then 531 the time I was born.   I ran the 8 on my 91 cr250 since I was told I looked similar on the bike as JMB to freak people.    Recent yrs 532 my 1st minute alive .  532 divided by 2 , 3 times is 66.5 , born in 66.  Surgeon today said 6-18 months for rotar cuff surgery, ouch.  89 cr125 dream bike

I don’t agree that it looks ugly. I think it looks cool. 

 

Shellenberger has some cool bragging rights. Not sure I recall the rider…wonder what he’s up to 17 years later.

Checkmate.

🤔 Ok, you got me there, but that was also one of the all-time best kits ever (bike/gear).

It does... unless you're Damon Bradshaw with the early 90s AXO gear and a '91-'92 Factory Yamaha.  

Definitely not Webb.

Everyone knows MC's number ....

I'm a sucker for gold wheels on Honda's.
