number plates ?

[zed4130]

ok i went down to iford in november for a laugh my missis dropped me off 'sadly the skies opened and it poored down  and the track got water logged .I took my new shiny ripper of the back of the car and angela said why have you got a numper plate you dont race ? .So my question is should you sltill run a plate when you dont race 'i allways had a plate bitd and i rode streets and parks'but i think racing bmx's look better with a number plate on even if you dont race .So what do you guys think 

[RATTY]

I think it adds a bit of personality to your bike, Bitd I wouldn't take the bike out without one!!

funny thing is though tony nowadays its the opposite they take them off 'wear would we put all those stickers 

[pickle]

Leave em on mate!  then the kids at the track think you're an aging pro

thats the problem they are allways after a race and saying can you jump the doubles  i just go for fun but like my bike too look as good as poss 

[pickle]

I'll stick a plate on mine.........jump the doubles???  i'd be happy with rolling over them without falling off!   

[daz bmx it!]

[zed4130]

i'm gunna wear one on the cruiser,it's  another place to sticker up and i think it does add abit of  style to a bike.

 

zed just looking at your ripper the plate does suit it

I think ill leave it your right priv i do like stickers and it's a good place to put them and it is a racing bmx even if the only people ill race against is you guys 'ill ingnore the missis and the youngters at the track hell iv been riding these things for 24 years so i should have the bike as i like 

[pickle]

Too right mate! at the end of the day, it's your bike so you have it the way you like it!

Personally i think it looks like a POS!   

[dj_benice]

Plates all the way paul    if anybody has any spare mirage GT ones send em my way, yeah that includes you tony, not got bored of looking at it yet

Always rode street/freestyle but I liked the look of a plate and used one occasionally.


Then again I changed the look of my bike so often..........


Always liked Zeronine wrapovers ? on CW bars  and of course the classic Haro and Haro Tech.

Sorry to be a party pooper, I take mine off after every race. If you ride Dunstable and MK as much as I do youd know why, the wind catches you all over the place at those tracks, it's like having a sail on the front of your bike.

I don't do the "look at me I race" thing, kids expect you to be able to ride like Buba Harris, Mike Day, or Kyle Bennitt (and I cant). Oh and they look really stupid at the skate park or trails as well imo.

If you want to run one, do so, don't let people expecially kids tell you whats cool and trendy, it's all BMX.

I am with Miles on this, no plate for street/road riding just plate at track for me.

[Dingobmxer]

I am with those two ^^^^
plate only goes on for racing as Bulwell  track is so fookin windy 99.9% of the time 
  DINGO

[zed4130]

i only have it on my racing bike  not on my street bmx

[dj_benice]

I only have race bikes .......................  for now 

[wussy67]

i take mine off after racing makes too much noise with my heavy landings

[se]

You all need Flo Panels boys, they reduce wind resistance by a proven 2.57%.

[Moschops]

Thats more of an improvement than you will get from one of those ridiculus body suit's.
