Thanks for welcome. A 64 plate is just the registration mark.

Welcome. PCX seems to be popular in the UK. I haven't seen another one on the road in the USA, but we have poor vehicular taste here.

I take it there is no such thing as a custom license plate in the UK... massive fail. Silly Americans that want to make a statement pay upwards 100 USD for the opportunity to satisfy one of life's most driving forces... individuality. And the tax collectors who are no stranger to human nature are always willing to let organization take a back seat to cold hard CASH!

PCX's in the UK are not that common as most people riding scooters go for other makes, often cheaper ones. You can get custom license plates in the UK - normally for cars and such as you need the text in a straight line not two level for best effect. Is it worth it though - not for me, I'd rather spend the money elsewhere.

You can get a personalised plate if you want one. Some change hands from £250 to £big money if you buy one at auction.

Thanks for the link! Living in Spain, I see lots of English plates and I didn't know what these characters meant
