The reason I ask is I am getting a number plate for the TZR (it didn't have one) and the last three letters of the reg are RPB. So I thought it might be cool if I got reprobate as a slogan underneath:twisted:

I think of a someone who is rebelious, perhaps even a lawbreaker? (am now off to look in the dictionary!)

Been changing the coolant tonight (well adding actually, since it only had water in it before)
Took it for a wee spin along the road afterwards, it's soooo much fun when the powerband kicks in. Love it. Can't wait to get it out on the road :cheers:

[ArtyLady]

Cool! :cool:

Bl**dy hell, what is this world coming to? Some people really don't help themselves. :rolleyes:

Oh well, too late now, just hope you are good at making a good first impression because when you get pulled over thats going to take some explaining....

"No officer I thought it was COOL to look like a crim so I had it plastered on my plate"
Its going to go one of two ways, either you look like a fool for explaining why you think its cool to be a reprobate, or they'll go over your bike and your documents with a fine tooth comb where previously you'd have had no problems whatsoever.

Still, we take our chances don't we?

[DarrenSV650S]

Well yeh I guess it is a bit risky but who cares. The 7x5 number plate is the only thing not "technically legal" about the bike.

So now for the Wikipedia definition...

Reprobation, in Christian theology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_theology), is a corollary to the Calvinistic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism) doctrine of unconditional election (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_election) which derives that some of mankind (the elect) are predestined by God for salvation, so the remainder are necessarily pre-ordained to damnation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnation), i.e. reprobation. In Calvinist terminology, the non-elect are often referred to as the reprobate. Similarly, when a sinner is so hardened as to feel no remorse or misgiving of conscience, it is considered as a sign of reprobation.

Sounds good enough to me :)

[DarrenSV650S]

www.thefreedictionary.com (http://www.thefreedictionary.com) has a nice definition :)

n.1. A morally unprincipled person.
2. One who is predestined to damnation.

adj.1. Morally unprincipled; shameless.
2. Rejected by God and without hope of salvation

adj.1. Morally unprincipled; shameless.
2. Rejected by God and without hope of salvation
IMO the best bit :D
