Got some bad news in the mail...

DMV denied my plate request for BIGTARD

My description read: Large displacement Ducati Hypermotard - Ducati's overpowered version of a supermotard

Still they thought it might be considered offensive of misleading.

Oh well. If any of you crazy Calitardians want to fight for it, it's available.

You could always petition the DMV. I wanted DEVIANT and that was rejected, I petitioned them with the explanation - it meansto be different from the norm. They accepted that and I was given the plate. It's worth a shot.

Maybe apply for "F WORD" and then point them to the Southpark episode...
