My fav. # has always been 7 so when I started riding, I always had a 7 on my bike. Then JS7 switched from 259 to 7 and I didn't want to be that JS wannabe goon at the track. So I added the 7 to my hockey number to make 759. Stuck with it.
I always love threads like this, always some cool stories and such!

Funny story about why my youngest brother first ran #2 though. He's the youngest, so he started racing a year after my middle brother and I. Well when he decided to start racing on his PW50, my Dad asked him what number he wanted to run. He said #1. My Dad said no, you can't be a beginner and run #1. He said you have to win something before you can run #1 So he said FINE!, I'll be # 2, the next closest thing!
No one in mx or NASCAR or anything I could find had that number. I didn't want to be a "fan" of someone.
Pit Row
As it turns out, I won my local race series in '99 so I was #1. It all worked out.
When I started racing again, I wanted 85, my house number. But when I went to the first meeting they said, we've already allocated 85 to someone else, can you be 851? It looked cool so I stuck with it.
71 and before 17. 17 remove it for a national race as Butron uses it and already I followed with 71.
Easy to make yourself by not having curves, easy to put.
The 11 I do not wear it because it is used by a friend.
to it, I was a vet, so in '91 or '92 I made it v93.
2 - for first digit of 20 which I used while racing the 50 class.
3 - for the digit 3 which I used while riding the 60 class (Johnny O's number in 1985 - 250 MX class).
1 - for the first digit of 11 which I used while racing the 80 class.
23 is also "bd" on your telephone and I used #23 to let people know it was me while paging people back in the early 1990s.
KTMs have been my favorite bikes since...well, since they kinda sucked. Way back in 01. Man, they've came a long way. I liked GL but didn't really choose it because of him. I just loved how the 111 looked on the bike. So there you go.
