I can see an opening in the market for replacement grp race tail pieces, with number backing-plates moulded on...

SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPEC SAVERS

As Griffmuss says, at the MGP they do insist you use the numbers supplied. Some people have whinged but at the end if you don't fit them you don't go through scrutineering. No doubt all the big boys at the TT are used to insisting their expensive paint schemes and sponsors logos aren't altered but as thewitch quite rightly says, if somebody needs to be black flagged it's important they can identify the bike easily!

Thye ACU and MMCC seem to be quite keen on safety this year. Maybe they should consider this safety move too, even if it doesn't only affect holiday racers.

It does seem to be that the higher the status of the event the less clout the scrutineer has. I too was knocked back at last years manx when my front number background was the wrong shade. Quite right too- they know whats readable at 160mph past the grandstand and whats not. Personally would far prefer to have good readable numbers and junk the transponders -- cheaper. Ha Ha.
