Yellow backgrounds with black numbers. Any....

[MRKRacing125]

Any of you know of any examples of yellow backgrounds with black numbers? I am looking into socaldecal's work and I am thinking about the yellow backgrounds, but I am looking for some pictures of bikes with them. Anyone have any pictures of bikes with them perf. yz's? Thanks

I don't have any pictures of them but I personally do not like the look of yellow backgrounds and black numbers on any bike. In Minnesota B class riders have to run this combo. That is one of the reasons I don't switch to B class.;)

Do a search on Damian Plotts. He ran that combo when he was with Suzuki.

If you are gonna race, you will need to check your local AMA rules on number and background colors. Certain color combinations are reserved for certain classes of riders. I know that I'm correct with black background and white numbers for the novice classes. If I remember correctly, yellow backgrounds are for PRO riders (which is why Damian Plotts runs them). If the rules in your district let you run yellow backgrounds for you class.....or you just want a cool looking bike and NEVER race....then go for it.

Sorry, not a YZ, but...

Taraker's YZF looks pretty sweet. It's got yellow sideplates and yellow rearfender. Go look in the off topic forum a couple pages back. there's a thread wit pics there. Or in ride/race forum bout TORO Race #2 there's some pics there too.

I thought yellow backgrounds were for open-class bikes?

Not sure if you will be able to find any pics on the web of Damien with yellow background number plates... I think I have found all of the pictures of him on the web, and I think they are almost all the normal white backgorund (since he has been on a 250 lately). But, I think it's cool that someone else knows him... I ride on the private track he practiced on a couple summers ago.

Big Lou - Yeah... that's what I always thought too - a lot of the Open class guys around here run them. And as far as your district - I'm sure they will still score you even though you have yellow backgrounds. Heck - people with RM's, YZ's, CR's, etc... put numbers on their yellow, blue, red, etc. side panels and still race. And people even use elecrical tape to make numbers. I myself run red backgrounds and white numbers (WML thing). I'm sure you can run whatever makes you happy! :confused:

Also - at the Loretta Lynns Amatuer MX National - the B class bikes have to run yellow backgrounds/black numbers. I have attached a picture of Josh Hansen.

Local Rules

Here in District 36 it's:
A's - black background / white numbers
B's - yellow backgrounds / black numbers
C's - white backgrounds / black numbers

Look around here http://www.offroadrider.com/pict-99-archives.html for some YZF's w/yellow backgrounds.

If you are going to race, make sure you get the "right" color backgrounds and numbers for your class. As a referee, I can tell you it is very annoying and confusing to have riders with the wrong number/background combinations, particularly for the scorers. If you aren't racing...why even bother :think

 

[taraker]

Well, Nuk, you ain't gonna like being a ref for TORO or TCCRA then:p

Yellow Background

And what's up with Gomer's purty bike anyway?;)

 

[High Lord Gomer]

That wasn't really my bike...that was the 2001 CR250 that Carolina Honda let me ride for most of the year while mine was apart.

I had to keep it up like new since it wasn't mine.

Around here it means (dist 6/7) your a senior rider (40+).

He bought them a new one though

Now if I could just find enough pennies in the couch to replace your footpeg... :scream:
