    Another NO vote.
    They painted numbers on our bikes at the 2Hot2Handle event. Bitch of stuff to 'wash' off.
    I think you will find most road riders like to decorate their bikes with a white metal plate fixed at the rear with easy to read black alpha/numeric characters. Surprisingly no two combos seem the same. I donate about $250 bucks a year to rent mine.

    Showing people who like to think they're fast on the road just how slow they really are?

    Although most of the time people like that are to scared to front at the track anyway

    Ok I can't get this out of my mind--A rethink has happened
    BIBS --now the plan is to have numbered bibs for the riders.
    This is gonna solve a heck of a lot of issues all at once.
    4 sets of bibs numbered 1-30 4 different colors.
    once ya pass scrutineering you get a bib to suit your speed group.

    I'm thinking bad idea.

    Firstly... sizes? you gonna be able to cater for the larger and smaller of us?

    Secondly, bibs are gay.

    They should suit all those dribblers that can be found on here.

    I'd be quite happy to tape a number on mine. Works for races so shouldn't be a problem.

    Just knock up a list with unique numbers. Then have them printed onto a sheet of A4 or something, then attach to bike. Easy.

    Bibs sound like a great idea Frosty and their generic design means that they'll fit all sizes, even Weasel-sized riders.

    If it hasn't already been suggested, what about a large piece of coloured paper for each speed group, then use a water based glue to slap on the back of the bike (i.e. over the number plate).

    It'll wash off easy but should stick.

    Then when someone in slower learner group (like boomer) gets passed by a fast rider (like markauckland) he'll see the back of marks bike and know he has fucked up.

    Maybe glue it to the helmet? the water based glue will easily wash off.
