My roadrace number is 89, that was the number the promoters had given me the first time I qualified for a World Superbike race, so I figured it is my lucky number. I was number 9 in '96 after finishing 9th in the Australian Superbike Championship in '95.
My modern motocross number is v61, it was the lowest number available when I called-up to register it (89 was not available).
I use 61 as my VMX number because it is now on the back of all my mx jersey's.
When I was racing mx back in the day, A & B grade riders in Victoria were assigned their number by their ranking, depending on how they scored points during the previous 6 months racing, my last couple of years racing before switching to roadracing I was 54. Victoria in the mid '80's only ran with 40 A graders and 40 B graders.

311, my very first race number back in the days of the VMBA- Victorian Minibike Association.

Was allocated # 90 way back in 1973 by N.Z.A.C.U ( New Zealand Auto Cycle Union ) which was affiliated with the Auto Cycle Union London.

Nobody was using 11 at my first race meeting and that was the easiest to do with a roll of tape ;D
-
73, my CZ's model year & was available the first year I rode in the Kiwi VMX series

My number has always been the same as my old mans 52 so for about 40 yrs I've used it but my number MA Gave me is my birth year 65. Both my boys have started riding and they used birthdays for numbers........
-
My race number is the cooks birthday date 25 , I couldnt use my birthday date because its the 9th ;D
-
When I started racing I asked for 234 as it was my old mans number I was givin 789 & every year I renew my licience I ask for number 1 but always end up with 789 but am thinking our shop sidecar number was always 28
-
When I started rcing again about '90 I bought a bike that had #25 so I used that.
When I entered for Canberra classics I couldn't have 25 so I reverted back to my A.C.U allocated #883 from the days when I expected to win everything that I entered!
Dreamer!
cheers pancho.
