Last year photo's from the company there was £35

I would personally take off the number plate and sort out your mirrors (take them off or fold them in)

Last year at Silverstone it was a ride by noise test so i did not even do a static test

See how we go this year

Are you in the Novices?

If you are then i can speak to the missus and she can get some pics of you too as she has all the kit
digital SLR
200 - 500 lense (in case the public gallery is not close to the track

So in theory she will be able to catch you if she knows who to look for

If she can get some piccy's that would be awesome. Must admit I have no idea how good that camera is but it certainly sounds the part

I hope the day is like today, baking hot, mmm

Hong i'd be prepared to take your numberplate off, fold in your mirrors and tape the indicators, brake light and front lenses.

I am looking forward to this even more now. Am taking my road going track bike (thomas the tank engine) out on saturday to give it a shake down so dead excited about that, hoping it stays together

Would be awesome to get some pics from your missus Sandman...tell her to look for the steam train!!

If this is not a requirement, I assume the only benefit is less stuff to break should I bin it, or less risk of spreading sharp bits of plastic about?

If this is the case, I'll probably leave my indies and plate alone, but remove the mirrors and tape the front/rear lights. Indies are mini's which dont protrude out enough to touch the floor (tested!) and plate was a fking awkward sod, as it has this slidy bracket thing holding the led indies on. Getting it off was ok, but getting it back on was a right faff.

I'll bring some a spare set of levers too, light and small.

I haven't bothered with taping up lights for last couple of TDs. No one seems to really bother anymore and the TD organisers don't even ask for it at briefings.
