Why put an asterisk when it’s obvious his name is Lewis Beaker :sherlock:

And who cares anyway. :nusenuse:
I've never seen the point in personalised number plates.
Driven by ego, arrogance or inadequacy.
Funny ones on the other hand, are always worth seeing. Still waiting to see P3N 1S but I suspect it's been withheld. :(

PEN1S I think has been withdrawn, it used to be owned by former racer Steve
Parrish.

My Hayabusa was originally registered R1GSX. I was offered £2500 by a buyer on a registration website, and so I transferred it to my motorhome - now shows RIGS X. It’s on offer with them, anything over £4K and I’ll sell it.

My first Busa was registered W13GSX - I so wish I’d not sold it.

6F228459-FCCB-45ED-9AB2-6EDC531D1E00.jpeg Yes I know, that’s the second use of the reg. no. First on my 99 from when I bought it new. Then I transferred it to my 2008 gen2 which I then turboed and raced after I’d highsided it and demolished it in 2010, rebuilt and later sold.

Interesting, I see it’s had a new MOT but not taxed. I wonder if it still has my turbo motor in it, or has it gone drag racing? Mustn’t think too hard about it my head’ll explode.

Yes, at 2 bar 28psi. But then I had to use Maxnos fuel 119 octane to slow detonation when racing. On super unleaded it was on spring pressure only, around 320/330bhp. I was the second ever gen2 1340 to run the full monty engine, forged pistons, billet rods, stainless valves, ported head, billet clutch etc. etc. As it used stock primary injectors and oversize secondaries it meant it was a pussycat to ride around on the road and could achieve 35mpg if pootled around. Wheelies at 200+ in top gear if abused.
