StampsIt might surprise you, but over the whole world a lot of stamps have been issued with an image of a (or even several) motorcycle(s). In fact 3 different types can be distinguished:
Nowadays many countries offer the possibility to make your own stamps! You can have an image of your own choice printed on them. Those personalised stamps are valid for franking, so you can use them to send your post. And off course they make a nice opportunity to enrich your stamp collection.... eventually with your own motorcycles on them. Recently also Motorpaul had his collection old motorcycles printed on stamps by PostNL (click on the image to get a larger image of the whole sheet of 10 stamps): The nice thing of collecting stamps is that you can do it exactly the way you want it yourself. Some people are "real philatelists", who are strongly interested in the philatelic background of stamps. Others, like myself, are more interested in the images on the stamps, and less in the philatelic aspects. When you look carefully at your stamp collection, you can see a lot of nice details. In 1987 a club of collectors of stamps with the theme "motorcycle" has been founded in the Netherlands, the Motor Filatelisten Nederland (Dutch Motorcycle Philatelists) or in short MFN. This very nice club has almost 100 members (amongst them more than 15 from other countries all over the world), and organises a meeting 2x per year, most times including an auction. People who are not (yet) member of the club but want to get acquaintened are very welcome!
