...and take off the reflectors, you don't want to not get hit by a car, do you?

Looks good, now go get it dirty!

I'd leave the dork disc on until you get used to riding the bike.

The dork disc is easily removed once you remove the cassette. Requires a special tool and probably not worth the effort.

If it's plastic, take a pair of dykes and carefully cut through it radially until you can snap it off.

If you do this just be carefull you dont cut or damage anything else. I reckon the dork disk is fine, some people think it looks a bit dorky though :o
