I could list many other occasions like this.

I seem to remember going back quite a few years a rider (i can't remember who) punching his tank toward the finish to reduce the volume so it could'nt be deemed as oversize !!

I believe that was Mick Grant on a Honda. The story goes he punched the tank in "celebration after crossing the line" a most un Yorkshire thing to do.
