Any body have a certain reason they choose the number they put on their bikes?, or leave the numberplates blank. I have some buddies use their friends numbers in rememberence of them. Or do you use the AMA number assigned, or local region number assigned. Maybe the number of your favorite rider. Cant wait til A-1.
I rocked the 14 for most of my mini career until I had to run the #27 at an international championship race and just stuck with it.
Just ordered my new number backgrounds though and I'm switching to #29, officially in honor of getting married Oct 29, but secretly because Andrew Short is one of my favorite riders.

Pit Row
In 88 I moved up to 125's and couldn't have a 2 digit number so they assigned me 381.
In 89 I began an 12 year hiatus from the sport.. when I came back I requested 381 but it was taken.. and so was 382...and that is why I am 383. Pretty boring actually...
in my stock car I run #49 originally because i was trying to get around the system. I thought they always did qualifying low to high or high to low and figured if i was in the middle I would never be the 1st to qualify nor the last. #50 was already taken, so I picked 49. Unfortunately I didnt know they occasionally go 49 down of 50 up haha.
would love to run #911 in memory of jono porter
Btw, Nyk Wey needs to learn the history of that number...he'll be even prouder of it.
Mine is 164 ,I was born on Dec.1st 1964.
