Why do you think that no bikes are stripped and verified?
As Rossi would say, "it's all about the show".


In 1984 Tony Rutter finished third in the F1 TT race on our TT1 F1 Ducati, he was beaten by two factory Honda machines. During the post race scrutineering I was asked by the scrutineer to remove the fuel tank of our Ducati so that the capacity of the tank could be verified. Whilst this was being done by the IOM weights and measures dep't I was asked to remove the front head a cylinder so that the bore and stroke could be measured, the carburetter choke size was also measured. I was then also asked to remove the rear head and cylinder, apparantly the scrutineers seemed to think that it was possible to use a large bore on the rear cylinder. All this time the first and second placed factory Honda machines were not being scrutinised I asked the chief scrutineer why and he told me that Honda had asked for them not to be touched. In fact a member of the Honda team was basicaly standing guard over them !. I asked about the appeal process and was told by a senior member of the ACU that even if I appealed my appeal would not be accepted !!

When you enter a machine for a race you sign that you have read the technical regulations for the class you are entering, and that you understand them, you also undertake to abide by those regulations. If you cheat are you commiting a fraud ??., you are also stealing from the people that you have beaten that heve not cheated. Is this fare ?.
