I had this home-brew motorcycle. <br /> It was built from swap meet odds-n-ends with a gas tank I fabricated myself. The engine was an old John A. Prestwich single out of a GEM rototiller (the exhaust pipe was my neighbor's fence post), and as with all these engines it has Prestwich's initials, JAP, cast into the side cover. I jumped through all the hoops at the DMV and got a title issued for a 1932 JAP. It says JAP right on the title and on the registration. A few months later I applied for a custom license plate with the letters JAP. A few days later I got a letter from the DMV informing me they don't issue "racist" license plates. Apparently they only issue racist titles and registrations. With any luck, a photo of the bike is at the following link. <br /> https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1573391255391&set=a.1081188670634&type=3&theaterBob in Weiser, Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926474607926350041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-70602892588689072592018-12-06T12:11:44.048-08:002018-12-06T12:11:44.048-08:00"A letter was sent to the owners asking them ..."A letter was sent to the owners asking them to trade their plates in at the county clerk for a new plate within 30 days, or they will receive a new one at their renewal date."<br /><br />I live in Kansas. About 5 people will turn them in, the 726 others will wait until it's time to renew. Here in Kansas there are so few Japanese outside of international students in the University towns, no one probably thought about it at all.Robert M.
