I snapped my rear off on the YBR about 9 months before selling it, filtered past cops etc, never had a problem.

I wasn't going to risk the front though, for some odd reason the front seems more important than the back.

And taking your L plate off just for nods? no brainer...

Nahh, Nods is just an extra bonus, it's quite annoying getting the L plate ignore ...

I just think cars etc treat you with even more contempt when they see the L plate, they can see my L plate when i'm in front of them ...

I don't see too many L platers with the front one on ...

I didn't do it myself but I lost rear L-plate twice.

[FURBAR]

My rear one now is a solid plastic one, fiited below the reg plate by the two rear reflector screws ... stays on well .. looks shit ..

Surely having a licence with no points and having no fines is better then having nods? Most bikers nod me, and i have L's Front and back. If your that worried that your not getting 'nods' do your test to get rid of your L's?

[FURBAR]

I nod most and most nod back, more so without the front L ...

Like i said it's poxy cagers being worse as a result of the front L ... if you don't see my L plate, my bike to the untrained eye look bigger than a 125 ...

Anyone without a full license ... wants one .. it's on the to DO list !!

Keep both mine on, got a small one behind my screen which is plenty visable and a rear mudguard with a L printed on.Not worth having a bang which may not be your fault and then having your claim thrown out for not riding within the terms of your licence.

I get nods from motorcyclists any ways. Most of them come when I move out the way when filtering and they come up behind me. I know I am a slow filterer so I let them past. Out of the dozens of other motorcyclists a day I see, only 1 or 2 wont acknowledge me.

I can see it might get a tad more respect from drivers who think your a proper motorcyclist, but in all honesty, after 14 years of cycling the roads of London, I have come to the conclusion most motorists are Muppet's, and nothing you do can change that.

Some bikers just don't nod. End of.

I nod to everyone on 2 wheels. L's or not. But there is a street tripple on route to work that i see everyday. He dosn't nod to me. But i nod everyday. I've started waving now, the ignorant asshole, he just looks at me.

As for the cars. I do feel there is a mentality that when they see the L plate it's "I must overtake!".
I see it with my mate on the weekends. If hes at the back theres people looking to overtake, close to him etc. I then repay the favor

End of the day, front L, its not worth 3 points imo. Put it back on, pull your tampon out and get your test done.

for some reason,i've got more nods with the L on the front,only put it on to pass my test with it

I always nod to learners. I remember being there, I was on a Honda 50 (MT50) in the pissing rain and got the piss taken out of me by four blokes in a shitty fiesta cos they beat me off the lights and I was getting soaked.

I now have a GSXR1000. Bastids face front now at the lights and don't even try.

Actually I've seen alot of "learners" being better riders than some nobs on bigger bikes.

[FURBAR]

I think a lot of nods are given to L plates to encourage biking ... and slag of cruisers for the laugh as we do, they always nod, usually two up

Why do cruisers get looked down on? When I think of cruisers I think of Easy Rider. I always thought that was a cool film and would have thought cruisers had some air of coolness to them?

[Maruchino]

Can someone post a massive face palm on my behalf?

Thanks!

[Nai]

Still new to motorcycling here Ill send you the triple face palm if you give me an answer

[FURBAR]

My brothers cruiser ..... they get some stik on here thats all, just like most things gets stik on here ...

Yeah, but lifes a risk, i'm third party, i have 12 spare .... it's the fine that will make me stick them back on ...

I hope i'm not under that 6 point rule ..

Anyway, my plan is to say im going the shop to buy some scissors to fit the paper L plate that's in the tankbag .. as other one worn away and is to manky / unclear .. and at night i'll say going bros to get scissors, and any trip away, will put it back on ...

Also

AVOID old bill. as i always do ..

Get A2 license ASAP ...
