Plate number

#1 Post by Jadaris » Wed Dec 28, 2011 8:03 pm

Just out of curiosity what are the other greenies number plates? Just wondered if they all followed on so to speak.


And hello again everyone by the way :)

They are the things that hang on the back of the bikes and give a unique identification of that particular bike.

We have the same facility on the other colours too. :smt003

Wow that looks scarily standard and confirms my suspicions that the number plates may be similar

If the story of them being a batch of show bikes (plus it seems a few more as they'd never have had that many at the show) then I would think it highly likely for them to have been registered in one or two batches.

Will .... in this case "Batches" doesn't mean "bread rolls" as it does round these parts

So how many of the Oasis Greens do we know about now, then? I thought it was about 6 or 7. Is the eBay one a currently unknown one?

This may be complete bollox, but I seem to remember reading about a particular dealer buying a batch of about six of them in crates, and being surprised when he opened the first one and it was a colour they had never seen before, even more surprised when all the rest turned out to be the same colour!
Think it may have been in Bike Magazine, or just possibly in Ride when Ben worked there.
