    I'll be up in auckland next weekend....my L plate use to be on there...I believe it sheared itself off sometime in the last few months. Still has the top bit of it which I plan to use as my alibi when I get pulled. I will probably attempt to replace it sooner or later...No point if it keeps snapping though.

    Just try putting it somewhere else, or maybe use an extra bolt to hold it on

    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    That's pretty much epically f*cked. You win! Must be quite brittle? My one is a bit flimsy, it was my fat ass sitting on my bike and the tyre obviously burnt out that curve in the bottom of my L plate. Although I still don't really understand, maybe I was riding backwards, hah.

    I have a feeling its the tyres coming up under acceleration or cornering that does mine in...I don't bother anyways...I needa get a hard plastic one...those ones are too flexible....Maybe once I hack off the bottom....Does anyone know if those reflectors are a LTA requirement? It makes a great spot for my rego.

    Yeh those reflectors are a requirement. I think most people are happy to have their L-plates do that, means the cops are unlikely to ticket you for it, but motorists are unlikely to notice you have one, including cops if you do more than 70kmhr, or have they scrapped that law now?

    No more 70kmh limit. New limit is 150kmh for learners.


    JUST JOKING. But really, no 70kmh limit.

    There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those that do not.

    Was thinking weekend trip but I guess if you where feeling hardy a day trip would be ok give or take 3hours each way so stop in whangarei for a feed and a rest round trip would be 10hours with rest and food I guess
