I can't believe this scrutineering matter. I for one would NOT even go out on a track in the knowledge that other bikes weren't scrutineered. The organisers have a duty of care to all the riders, and this rumoured move doesn't come even close to sanity.
I remember getting turned away because I'd left the torque arm bolt loose on the rear drum brake of my TD2B. What a relief that the scrutineers saw it. Before anyone says, "ah they don't have drum brakes anymore", there are loads of modern examples of potential disasters for the scrutineers to check. Well my friends, it would be just a matter of time before a disaster took place, probably someone braking for Quarter Bridge. Madness!
