100km without getting my arse off the bike

The back tyre is close enough to the L plate to create a suction effect on the plate. Perhaps bolt the L plate on the outside of the number plate. The bottom lip of the number plate will make the L plat stick out more ... and wont bend back far enough in to make contact again.

Mark the top edge of the plate with a felt marker pen ... if the hole gets bigger remount it.

The hole would be worn out by friction by the tyre. Melting the plastic L plate. The tyre will be spitting tiny bits of hot plastic about under the seat/bike. You may even see some stuck to the inside of the mudguard. Or in that area of the bike.

Might pay to have a peek there.
