At the moment Im only riding on a CBT, therefore i'v gotta wear those massive patronising 'L Plates' that couldnt be anymore humiliating than they are. I've stuck one on the back of my bike hangin of the reg but the front one...I have litrally nowhere, unless I trim it down,that i can stick it. The only place would be strappin it across my forks which would block the flow to be radiator. So..i did that. Today, I smelt burning, looked down and my water had gotten so hot it had burst outta the top of the system and was pouring down all over my engine. greaattt. ontop of that, the bike had began to over heat so when i'd turned the engine off , it wouldn't start again and stayed like that due to the battery that was now drenched in antifreeze. I then missed work having to wait for some clueless greese monkey my insurance sent out to tell me what I already new and gimme a lift home. haha
and that was all down to my god dam 'L plate' which aparently makes other drivers more aware of me and my riding. Yeh, that seemed to work when i was nearly crushed under a tescos lorry yesturday.
My conclusion. L plates are pointless. They do nothing but make you look like an idiot and get you points when they're not even fixed on properly! Anyone else had anything like this? Or am i the only 'Learner' here? ahha
