Who has my vanity plate?

In Pennsylvania vanity plates of five letters and numbers for motorcycles are allowed. So I applied for "R12R". Taken. "R1200"? taken. I couldn't think of anything else that would be suitable. Does anybody here from PA have those plates? What other vanity plates do people reading the forum have?

How about "ARR12"?
(Think pirate...)

Here in NSW, most of the obvious plates have long gone - though "ARR12" is still available (if you're a pirate)!!!
I have "BMW05". I would have preferred "BMW08" (the year model) but choice is limited unless you want to spend a fortune. Still, I'm pretty happy with mine.

Okay, I'm taking my own advice. I just ordered a California vanity plate: "ARRR12R".
Heh.

How about "RXIIR"
Sort of classical.
Now me, I want something totally random and not memorable, if you catch my drift.

Very good! Or RMCCR. No, I like yours better.
But I just don't understand wanting a random plate, and blanking the plate out when posting pictures. I sort of get that personality trait of people who do it, but not its functionality.

I Think it's all about "I didn't do it. And you can't prove that I did."
I blanked out the license on a pix of my R to see if I could do it. That's my storey and I'm sticking to it.

How about Roman numerals; it fits correctly:
RMCCR
MCC = 1200

That's especially geeky.
(Which, being a geek, I appreciate)

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that read binary, and those who don't!

Okay, the DMV finally got around to pressing my plate:

I considered "KRAUT" but was told it might be insulting.

We can only have 7 characters.
I have DASBIKE. Think of the WW 2 German novel/film about the U boats, DASBOOT.

I got my plate! RXIIR, R12R in roman numerals. Thanks to the suggestion of AncientMariner. I may have to explain to people that, no, I am not a doctor or a pharmacist, though.

In Florida, with so many drivers even older than I am, I wanted my plate to be a help in defensive driving. Unfortunately, my choice and the variations were taken.

I need to do something--my current plates are a genetic disorder.
