    Choice, so we can protest Lovells points from the wet races then? That will teach him for having an FIM approved rain light.

    What the fuck would the FIM know about anything, bunch of amateurs

    I reckon even they would know that even a triple A battery is bigger than 45mm.

    Always happy to see folks put their money where their mouth is....Doesn't happen often though.

    Prolly pay you to read the manual first though,Wouldn't wanna see you make a fool of yourself.

    Happens so infrequently, that when a bulshit protest that didn't meet protest requirements meant Sam Love missed out at prize giving in fact, because it seems NO ONE knows how they work.

    An area of our sport and events, that wouldn't stand up in court for twenty seconds. Might as well be scrapped I'm afraid.

    Billy-given most of the bikes on track are production based rather than pure race bikes why not just allow origonal tailights to be refitted
    wouldn't that solve a lot of issues real fast?

    The system works very well when applied by those who have made themselves familiar with the rules and how they work,Its all in the manual,But of course you would know that as its part of the contract you enter into when applying for a licence.

    Makes perfect sense Frosty. Though I bet you wouldn't get away with anything so sensible with MNZ.
    If any light is too large,which is highly improbable, a bit of duct tape can fix that pronto.
    It's actually quite funny when you realise that Prod bikes years ago had to have the lens removed or a fuck load of tape cover the thing. Progress, I love it.

    ps can someone come on and tell us the ratio of prod based bikes to pukka race(eg TZs) bikes there are current in NZ ? Not that we're trying to make rules from here on KB , but it would seem a common sense idea. No ?

    Billy--Im sorry mate -You know I don't post stuff just to stir you up but--- do what??
    Almost every bike out there is fitted with a fairing blade and most guys have the cheap alternative blades that break easilly.We don't have issues with them passing tech inspection.
    If the guy has wrecked badly enough to shatter a tailight lens then theres going to be a lot more debris lying around than the remains of a busted 150mm round lens.
    .If you are really worried then a wrap of clear duct tape around and over the lens will have the effect of tempered glass.
    ALSO--mate Ill be honest with you at all the track days Ive been to and the few Ive personally organised I don't ever recall bits of busted tailight being an issue.
    The only thing I would do is make it illegal for the brake lights to operate. How the rider acheives that is up to them. Snip the wire or unplug the switches on the lever and foot brake.
    Again Im sorry mate but you remember your own words to me a few years back (I'll "polite" it up a bit) Keep it simple stupid.
    It seems to be a really simple solution for most racers.
    But then I AM stupid so maybee Im missing something.
