The Mainichi Daily News covered the new (Mario inspired?) cloud plates for scooters. How cool is that? When you city has custom plates JUST for scooters? I’ll take mine in white… they should make them in grey too. Here’s the story:
MATSUYAMA — Cloud-shaped number plates will be issued for scooters in the city of Matsuyama, local government officials said.Matsuyama Municipal Government officials reportedly decided to use cloud-shaped plates to promote the area partly because the city is vividly described in famous writer Ryotaro Shiba’s popular history novel, “Sakano ueno Kumo” (Clouds above a slope).
The license number plates are all 10 by 20 centimeters in size and come in three colors — white, yellow and pink.
“We hope that the number plates will become mobile advertising items for the city,” an official said.
License number plates are normally rectangular in Japan. (Mainichi)

If you ride a two-stroke, there’s already a cloud stuck to your tail end.
California allows a few special characters on vanity plates, such as hearts and stars. How about a license number containing emoticons?
