Well, my request finally wound its way through the bowels of the California DMV. After a couple months, I am now in possession of one of the absolute nerdiest custom plate jokes known to man.

(For those of you who are not terrible shut-ins and don't happen to memorize unicode character encoding . . . . here is a spoiler (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/26a1/index.htm))
If at some point within the next year one random person on the street gets it I will be highly surprised. SHOCKED, you might even say. Anybody else getting/have a custom plate?
-
Ha, very clever. I think your chances of being randomly discovered are slim..

Best EVAR!
-
holy crap! would never have figured that one out!
-
anyone else getting any custom plates?
-
I went with KOOPEC.
I wanted to go with EFOPEC, but two things were stopping me: I teach MSF and showing up to a class with that plate would probably be frowned upon by the program I work for. And my girlfriend's dad has worked with and knows many people fairly high up in OPEC, so she put the kabosh on that. She hasn't figured out what the "KO" stands for yet. Hehe
-
I ordered mine in late December and still haven't received the notice. When did you order these?
I have a dragonrider theme in my stable so I went with N(i)GHT F(u)RY for my Eclipsed Black ride.

Texas has a nice website where you can enter your custom plate and see if it fits and if it's available.

unfortunately, everything cool I can think of entering is taken!

Haha well you definitely at least need a Dynamo plate (I did not know that was actually a sports team):

Also holy crap, Texas' custom plate system is waaaaaay slicker than California's. Stupid things I entered in and are still available:
SHOCK
EBIKE
0 CCS (alternately, 0 CYL)
MPLSR
and my favorite, OHMG
-
OHMG!
hahahaha!
-
just tried "0 CO2" and that was available to (but kinda too nerdy for me)...no offense Jeff :P
LOL crap....I might need a custom plate
-
Clearly you need to get matching plates for your Tesla and Empulse!
Also I'd like to point out that Texas is the only state I've seen so far where you can get a license plate with a picture of a hamburger on it.
-
"NO TO BP" I hate what they did to the Gulf.
-
Hey Jeff
Great plate...great meeting you last weekend at Scuderia!
-
Not much to work with here, but what about this:

-
If I had thought of it before I ordered "NGHT FRY", my theme of dragons combined with no talipipe would have been better described by "NO SMAUG"...
-
Nice.. or BLKARRW. (only really suitable with a black bike)
-
Hey Jeff

Nice meeting you as well! Exciting seeing another one in the wild. We'll have to meet up at some point and roam around the city making a fearsome whining noise.
-

lol I don't get this one...
and all great suggestions! This will be my first custom plate if I get one ;D

What killed Smaug?
-
What killed Smaug?
Ooohhhh. Nice one...
I just got my postcard from the DMV today (well, yesterday at this point) so I'll be Night Fury by tomorrow...
-
What killed Smaug?
Oh that is faaaantastic. I didn't get it either. That may out-nerd mine!
-
Got my special order CA plate today.
What? No one thought of this? ;D
"BRAMMO"

Very nice!
I really want BRAMMOFAN but it's too many letters for Missouri.
-
BRAMFAN
-
Get a Brammo license plate frame with the plate "FANNO".
-
BRAMFAN
\Unfortunately, I just checked and Missouri only allows six letters. "BRAMMO" works and maybe "BRMFAN" but that's pretty obscure. I'll have to think about this. :-\
-
nice!!!! I keep vacillating on what custom one I want ???
-
In Florida the limit is 6 characters and I've been thinking of getting a personalized plate. I've come up with several...
ERVLTN - E Revolution
EMPLSV - Empulsive
0EMSSN - 0 Emission
not Brammo related...
3PRCTR - 3 Percenter
RGNCJN - Ragin Cajun
WHODAT - Who Dat say they gonna beat dem Saints
GEAUX - pronounced GO
Any opinions on which one is best?
-

Maybe BRMOFN?
-
What killed Smaug?
I thought Sting killed Smaug,,,,,,
Anyway,, I got "MAD CAT" as my license plate on my bike,,
Kinda goes with my truck,, "DAD KAT"
Not BRAMMO related,, oh well,,, :o
-
This one won't really fit, but I sure wish it would...
I come out of my stop, around lunch time, and 3 guys are huddled around my Empulse, holding forth on electric bikes. Two are in their 30's and one kid around 20 or so. I hear one guy say, "Yeah, I saw one at a drag race and it was really fast!"
I walk up, gray hair, bald head, ATGATT, and join in the conversation: "Yep. 60 mph in just 1 second... that's what the Kill-A-Watt will do."
They turn, accepting my input with the ease of workmen not in a hurry to return to drywall, and I hear the word, "Bad-ass." Thinking they're talking about the total sweetness of my ride, I say, "Yeah, they sure did a great job designing it!"
"No. YOU, dude! You're one bad-ass codger!"
So, maybe "BAC" on my plate and only the readers here will know the meaning.
-
BAC- first thought I'd always "blood alcohol content."
I've really been enjoying your posts lately!

Or perhaps a really big fan of Bank of America stock . . . .

Finally got a plate. This was about my fourth choice. I wanted CHRGME, CHRGIT, and something else I don't remember. In Oregon there is now web access to see what's available. After waiting in line for an hour I was going to get something!
As you can see it's the rainy season now. The lack of rear fender causes the brake light to become covered pretty quickly. Seems like a liability issue to me.
-
Bad ASS! Congrats!

Hahahaha yep and in theory if you were to do a theoretical huge burnout, you'd probably find that in theory your brake light and license plate would be absolutely covered in little bits of charred theoretical rubber.

I finally got my plate today.
I'm bummed that my first spellings were taken and that probably nobody except a few Latinos will get this one:

Shinysideup, that's a good one. Next time I'll go to the DMV with a prioritized list with a couple dozen names.
-
Actually, in California, you can check for names on their website and do the whole application thing right there, including the payment.
The process starts here:
