Messing around with
old motorbikes has always been a passion of mine since the age of 10 (I'm
now 45!!!) buying old wrecks and getting them going and restoring them to
their former glory gives you a real buzz, if you like that sort of thing.
During the latter part of 1986 I was building an old British bike and I
needed another frame. So I looked in the motorcycle news and there was one
for sale near to where I lived, I phoned and he still had it, so off I went
to see it. After a cup of coffee and a chat I bought the frame, Mr X as
we'll call him asked if I came across many old bikes, I told him that I
did, so he said that if I didn't want them myself he would be interested
in them as he dealt in personalised number plates, and (this is the best
bit) he would pay me a finders fee!
This relationship carried on for quite a while (and still does to this day)
it wasn't long before I had quite a few bikes of my own and Mr X would sell
the numbers on my behalf. During 1987 I also started advertising my numbers
with the big dealers and I also started advertising myself and Gibson Registrations
was born, these days it's shortened to GIBREG as it takes up less space
in the adverts and now I've been dragged kicking and screaming into the
21st century GIBREG.COM is the next generation.
Live long and prosper.
Regards,
Roger Gibson
