Plate Owner Registration About the Owner

Bruce Edwards - LUV.NU

Bruce Edwards

Adorns a 1968 moke. International plates, anyone? A moke, according to Bruce, is a "1000cc motor on wheels with a couple of seats attached." Bruce says it's the only way to travel, "a bit like riding a bike without a helmet." [Ummmmmmmm... "the Internet License Plate Gallery does not endorse the riding of bicycles without protective headgear." There. I feel better.]

Jeri Maier - LINUX

Jeri is also the founder and CEO of Boomers International, a portal for baby boomers.

Bruce Dawson - LINUX

Bruce Dawson

First registered "many years ago." Bruce reports that this plate was lost for awhile in 1997 - the result of his car having been stolen (no doubt the thieves were really only interested in the plate).
