What is the "L Plate"?

 

[O8ride]

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

Smoothe? Moi? Thats unlikely to happen, lol.

L-Plates are "learner" plates, which must be shown on the front and back of a bike in UK if you have not passed the test to prove your competence on a bike. The rules on the type of bike you can ride while a learner are complicated, but essentially you can't ride a larger bike than 125cc and are not allowed to take a passenger nor ride on the motorway. To get the licence that allows you to buy and ride any bike, you need to pass your test on a bike that is at least 600cc.

Well done! It's a great feeling!

Thanks BST.

Been considering options for a bigger bike or scooter, but I just love this Piaggio Fly 125. It does everything I need a bike to do, it has the mpg I want and the storage for the commute, and it suits my Mediterranean roots.

Other than the sore backside after about 45 minutes. But I've just ordered a seat cushion from bumbags4bikers (or 3um3ags43ikers) which has some rave reviews and is about 30% cost of an airhawk.

I'll review it after I have used it for a bit - if anyone has any experience of this cushion or has an airhawk or a gel cushion and we could compare them, maybe we could do a shared vlog?

It did cross my mind. Then when I saw how thick the plastic was for the back one, I'd have probably set the house on fire or had the neighbours complain about dangerous poisonous emissions if I tried to do that.
