Official L-plate disposal methods?

[klingon]

I don't mean how to get my Restricted (I'll be booking my test in early May). I mean, how do I actually dispose of that square of nasty grubby smelly accursed yellow plastic once I'm 'allowed' to?

• Burning it would be satisfying but not very environmentally friendly
• Burying it doesn't really get rid of it... I'd still know it was there... waiting for me... getting madder and madder... digging its way out of the ground...
• I could give it away to a newbie who was just starting out. But that would be like deliberately passing on an STD
• Maybe I could put it through a garden shredder and chop it into tiny little yellow bits. But would each bit then grow into another L-plate? I might end up with 50 of them following me everywhere instead of just one

Is there a commonly accepted and approved way to dispose of the L-plate? Is there a ceremony I need to perform, like an exorcism? Can I do it on my own or do I need professional help... or support from other bikers? And what's the best way to do a wild pagan dance while wearing bike boots without making a complete fool of myself?

All help gratefully accepted.

A rolling burnout over the top of it should suffice to remove any lingering curses.

Bast if you do it yourself but I have doubts a volty is cpable. Could always get a mate to do it for you or just putyourbike up aginst a wall doing a burnout and have someone toss the cursed thing under your back tyre while it spins.

How ever you do it, you must leave a line of black rubber cross the front of the L-plate. (the side with the L on it)

My L plate has a place of pride on my office wall. It marks the beginning of an experience that changed my life, fundamentally and for ever. So much so, that I am considering getting one tattooed on my forehead.

If you have a search there are pictures on here of my L plate after I did burnouts on it with my bike and a scooter.

Very satisfying!

Pass it on to someone who needs it Grasshopper!

Hand it down my friend.

Im considering my options of disposal methods too, (for my cage plates (or one of em)-sitting my stricky on Monday get my bike one sometime next month if I'm on to it) I was thinking of the fireworks I've had lying round since last November...

I passed mine on to Chickadee....poor little thing (the L plate I mean) ....it hadn't done anyone any harm...I didn't see the need to destroy it, much better to give it to someone who would make sure it had a loving home.

Sneak up and stick it on the back of an HP bike.

Sneak up and stick it on the back of an HP bike.

Oooh I like that idea
I already snuck up and stuck it on the back of the SV1000S that shares the garage with my Volty. Needless to say, it didn't last long in that position.

one word:

orbit.

After all the effort I went to attaching it, I'm hanging on to it to give away with my 250 (assuming the bike is worth anything).

Did not have an option as mine had been lost, come test day I was borrowing somone elses.

I would say hand it down, I know Training Wheels and a few other kb riders could do with being in posession of an official one.

Should you feel you have passed it down with all of the associated Karma include with it the the best piece of advice you have ever recieved.

This is the only ecofriendly solution to your dilema, and it prevents LTSA profiting twice.

If you feel you still cannot pass it down hang it in the garage or decorate a wall (to do this with real panaché you will need to "requisition" a few other road signs, bike stickers etc).
