I was hoping you were going to reply, I will be cursing your # when I try to get that sticky thing off my trailer I bought from you..LOL LOL Going to replace it with a big 71 in both spots you had your # on. Is it riding season yet? Carry on!

Several reasons:
its my birthday,
I won $5K on it at the roulette wheel in Tahoe,
Miguel Duhamel was one of my favorite riders

#17

I had a shirt with 66 on it when I was a Toddler my Mom said was my favorite shirt. I had to wear it all the time.
In high school varsity football I got issued jersey 66.
Matt Mladin is my favorite racer that ever raced AMA SBK. His original number was 66.

#56 = my birth year and it's the fastest number

...and I'm riding with a 86? Gosh, I am old.

My birth year is after '86....

Not by much...well, ok, one to be specific, but it is nonetheless.

Dad was born in '48, he did his first TD last year. "Old" is a relative term.

#92 - The atomic number of uranium. I chose it because it is the heaviest naturally-occurring element. It's also the birth year of my first son, the wife's favorite #, so it has a little 23-enigma going on as well...

what the hell is a birth country? and this whole "birth country" has one area code? :notsure:

#197...... the number that the used race plastics had on them when I bought my first set years ago. I prefer #42 but looking around the paddock, it was a common number for some reason.

Haha, I shed a tear as you drove off into the sunset... The numbers will come off with nooooo problem.

#74 year I was born

 

[BlueMax]

SV is #174 so Mike #74 can use my SV at CCS events by covering up the 1. Flip side I can use his SV by adding a 1. Still need to swap out transmitters but all is good.

 

[Godfather]

#67

My #67 is my year of birth also.

 

[erick1670]

My original # was 70 my birth year, now is 707; 70 for me 07 for my daughter birth year.

 

[shad0ws]

Was really big into mustangs before I got my bike and always sported #281 for their cubic inches. Kind of stupid but I just stick with it to keep everything the same.

 

[ridelater]

had #280 b/c 28 was the # of my favorite hockey player steve larmer chicago blackhawks then added the 0 b/c i felt like a squid rocking double digits if i tried to race. then I did lose that # to racing and had to take 908 the day i met my wife. sept. 8. still want my 280 back but the other guy just wont stop racing.:banghead:.
its a real kick in the :nutkick: each year I see him with my # until then it makes the wife happy knowing I'm rocking our #.

 

[madmanr1]

Two of my wife's favorite numbers, 2 and 13.

[griffonrider]

I have a '76 Kaw 900 that has never been down. Still stock. I've had it since '78. I had just come in from a nice spring evening putt around the "neighborhood" the night I signed up with NESBA for the first time.

 

[Thunderace]

Cool thread! Started out 610. I was a legitimate 6'10" at one time in my life. Family said it was hard to read at speed, so for a very short time, I switched to 61. Didn't care for that, so it changed it to 10. Also, I am always the first guy in the photos for the advanced group.
