    Are heritage plates a big deal in Sydney aswell?

    Saw [30] on a black 599 and [46] on a Phantom over the weekend.

    I saw Demon on a black Z1000 who was on 1 wheel as he rode past me lol.

    I don't want anything along those lines, i'm not a tough enough guy for that :)

    Perhaps i could get 'Bliss' ?? That'd be pretty cool IMO.

    Saw this badass black solo seat number at Superlap at Eastern Creek on the weekend.

    Also got some neat ideas and supplier details for my Skyline engine bay tidy up from seeing what was on show there too..

    It's an FZ1N from memory??? I've seen some of the pics on the web. The bobber design on modern day bikes doesn't look that great. There is a bloke with a Ducati Monster who has done the same thing. It looks sht IMO.

    An engine bay that clean must be worth $$$$'s.

    I can really appreciate someone else's work with the effort required as i put in zero effort and none of my stuff looks that clean :(

    Agreed don't think the Duke would take that treatment well.. some others more suited.

    Engine bay stuff not so expensive to get started on (which I will do) with hoses and fittings etc.. might not go to trouble of taking heads off and chroming etc.. but definitely look into making nicer in place with some more cosmetic touches as I systematically check all parts and connections.

    If car was top shelf model would do.. but on less costly cars you can run the risk of well and truly over "investing".

    I'll have fun doing stuff like this in stages as break from the keyboard.

    Not for sale as far as I know.
    "15" is apparently up; but silly money. Plus a number in the high 40's and another in high 80's

    The lower the better of course; but incorrect to suggest triple digits haven't done very well also. IMO the 1, 2 and good 3 digit numbers are the only ones worth having.

    Yes, the most expensive market. Victoria has caught up over the last five years or so.
    The other states are way, way behind in values.

    Personal attack!

    Are you saying my KEW.SLP numberplate won't ever get here?

    It's ok. I got email the receipt and it says within 21 days. Those crims sure work slow!

    Have seen her a fair bit. dressed very well.

    Carries a pink ostrich skin Birkin.

    Also an interesting blue colour DB9 today, plates were BGGS or something, I cannot remember, but I think the plates were on another car before this.

    New Mulsanne as well in the dealership, gorgeous... Side lights are not as bad as I thought tey would be!
