That does actually make alot of fucken sense!!
But isn't this argument about trackday bikes?? Who currently needs checks for those??
If I was a fellow rider on these days, I'd damn well expect it to happen, for piece of mind that the leading bike aint gunna drop oil, drop something, or break something in front of me....
Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??
Perhaps you could also consider this issue from a professional stand point rather than a purely mechanical one.
Lets say, hypothetically, the workshop next door does some work on a motorcycle. The owner then takes that motorcycle to a track, has an accident and dies. Worksafe conduct an initial investigation and conclude a mechanical defect was a factor, and since the bike was worked on recently call in the Police. The Police interview the mechanic next door, determine that he is a professional (accepts payment for services), knew that the motorcycle had a serious and dangerous defect, and that he gave the former customer a warning about it but did nothing further. The Police aren't sure if there is a case, but conclude there is sufficient linkage to consider an initial charge of negligent manslaughter (a criminal conviction).
Then the Police come to your workshop, seeing that you are in the same trade and also a professional. The Police consider engaging you as an expert in your field, and ask you if an experienced professional in your trade following industry best practices would allow someone to not resolve a serious defect in the braking system of the motorcycle that could lead to serious injury or death. Your answer will determine if the chap next door spends the next two years waiting for trial and a lot of money on lawyers to try and determine the outcome (and a jury may well find that a warning was sufficient - who knows).
I know, an extreme outcome. But whatever you're answer is may help give you some guidance.
And that scenario is pretty much why no one wants to be a scrutineer...
if the clubs enforced mandatory scrutineering, I'd assume some sort of disclaimer would be necessary. maybe MNZ should show some leadership and work out how it can be done safely. And protecting volunteers at any inquests.
i won't do it except for "auditing" now - and i come from a family where the old man was chief scrute for cars for the SI and we've all been involved at some point....
