Here is the story behind the choice for my license plates.  But first, here's a little bit of history...  "By-Tor And The Snowdog" is a song from the Canadian Power Trio "Rush".  It is one of my favorite bands.  This song is part of the "Fly By Night" album, circa 1975.  It is, once again, one of my favorite Rush album.

Ok.  Since you all read the Lyrics, you know that By-Tor is the "Knight Of Darkness", "Centurion Of Evil" and the "Devil's Prince".  I chose that plate for my motorcycle for some obvious reasons.  It is black. I can't do anything with it except cruise the streets and it is only a way to spend my money without making any!  Now, for my car, I also chose the plate for certain good reasons.  It is All Wheel Drive, it loves snow (hey, it's Snodog, not Snooog!:).  It is my main source of income.  No car, no job.  The final reason would be that according to the song, Snowdog is triumphant over By-Tor.  I am pretty sure that my car is faster, tougher and better than my little bike...

Now, for those of you that are still reading this, and are not asleep, you may want to hear the song.  So here's two format you can enjoy.  The MIDI file, and MP3 file...  Click on the images below to view a larger version...
 
 

Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the North Light,

 
 
 
 

His Nemesis is waiting at the gate.
