I always had long hair, but son, grandson, brother, nephew of professional military. And yes we all respect each others.
If asked your number and you used letter o instead of 0 you were told ‘There are no letters in numbers in the Army’. And here we are now with 2 Service numbers with letters in them. Is it/was it just the Army that didn’t have letters, or, was it done to prevent numbers becoming toooooo long? Ken.
Really don't know mate, but all the lads that joined the Navy at the same intake as me had similar letters/numbers.
I am not sure for army or royal navy numbers but RAF the position of the letter determined if you were non-comissioned or comissioned rank. think navy had letters to determine branch and comission status and army just had numbers.
That Tiger will certainly be more usable than the Rocket. The Rocket is the bike I'd choose to cross America on, mile after mile of relatively straight Interstate/highway but a bit on the unwieldy side for our A's and B's. It's a numbers bike really. If a big Harley and a Boss Hoss had a love child, this would be it. Everyone to his/her own of course but my logic is, on a bike with such power you're going to want to use it, which means going very fast, which necessitates a full fairing IMO. Hence my love affair with a ZZR1400. Enjoy the Tiggy, Dilli!
I'm just not sure that there was any need to drag up a post from 4 years ago, it wasn't particularly helpful or even really relevant to the discussion at the time.
Full luggage system and upper and lower crash bars The fog lights get moved on to the upper bars with a relocation kit
D176280A Navy numbers corresponded with when you joined. So D175 would be before me until they ran out of numbers and it goes onto the next. Mine was back in 1979 so God knows what they are on now. Will find out in Feb when my son joins
Sorry @dilligaf I must have missed it mate in amongst all the other random stuff on here......when do you do the change over?
