I scored 10NOV76 for the CVO (Florida - would you have guessed?) - you have to be a Marine or know one to understand it.

My truck is DVLDG and my Kawa KLR650 is DVLDG1...  I'm sort of fixated.  Or just really really simple.

Never one to rain on a jarheads parade (as it's not a healthy thing to do).  But your plate is off by a year Marine.  The Continental Congress commissioned two battalions and Samuel Nicholas started the recruitment at Tun Tavern on 10 November.  But it was 1775.

Run Forrest Run!!! Ok we were born in '75 and '76 would have been our first birthday.

On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas to raise two Battalions of Marines.  That very day, Nicholas set up shop in Tun Tavern.  He appointed Robert Mullan, then the proprietor of the tavern, to the job of chief Marine Recruiter -- serving, of course, from his place of business at Tun Tavern.  Prospective recruits flocked to the tavern, lured by (1) cold beer and (2) the opportunity to serve in the new Corps of Marines.  So, yes, the U.S. Marine Corps was indeed born in Tun Tavern.  Needless to say, both the Marine Corps and the tavern thrived during this new relationship.

At least as of a couple years ago that place was still opened too.  Or at least a place of the same name.  I love getting historically drunk.

Got my confirmation letter in the mail yesterday from the FL/Palm Beach County tax collector after coming back from a week in Myrtle Beach - 10NOV75 is reserved in my name and got the temp plate for the CVO...  (they even send a printout of how it will look).

Now all I have to do is get the bike - better be here this week, Monday was a month since it was picked up for delivery. 

Will post pics to the appropriate threads when it arrives.

Looks good.
One of these days I'm going to stop by PI and take a picture of the 'new' sign out in front of the gate. I noticed it a couple of months ago and never remember to bring the camera in the cage. I live close enough to hear the firing range go hot around 0500 (just when I'm going down )
