    Does anyone have a GOOD L plate?

    I went around Dunedin trying to find an L plate a few weeks back and got told nobody stocks the damn things. 6 different places.

    I ended up printing one off the net ( and colouring the L black ) and cello taping the thing to a piece of plastic and screwing it underneath my license plate.

    However I should have laminated it as the cellotape is leaking and the ink is running Thank you Dunedin weather!

    Does ANYONE have an L plate I could procure that actually is alright or know to get one?

    One of the $2 shop ones. Holepunch 2 holes through it & attach somehow, depending on bike.

    Post shops, Whitcoulls or Pak'N Save have them as well generally...not sure about for Dunedin though.

    Good luck.

    Surprising is'nt it?! I went to all the shops at westgate in auckland and could'nt find one, including the AA- I needed it to sit my restricted at the time, so I did the same and taped it to my bag, the tester just laughed and said it was "certainly visible enough!", lol, screwed it up 20 mins later.....

    Funny though is'nt it? I thought they would have been easy to source but apparently not....

    I just got a set of those plastic ones that have velcro-pads and are supposed to sit in the window of a car from the AA. Got a Screw and stuck a hole in it, then used the bolt that holds my number plate on to keep it there...so far, so good...

    Have you tried your local AA they should have them seeing that they are the 1's who have all the info you need to get your licence and are a licencing agent. Also try your local Service stations. Goodluck I am sure you will find 1 eventually.

    not necessarily. i travelled a good 20-30thousand k on my l plate, travelling at all speeds. i got seen by heaps of cops, including one who overtook while i was travelling at 100k and never got pulled up once. and yes, l plate was visible the entire time.

    Your avatar with the malamute is seriously cool, I can kinda imagine one riding a bike at full speed chasing tabbys into trees

    She's not a malamute, she's a Sibe-Bord (Siberian Husky/Border Collie cross). And yes, if she could ride a motorcycle, she would definitely chase cats ...and bunnies, and birds, and hot air balloons....
