166.3 Kg
So there were 7 lighter Class B bikes and 8 Lighter Class A bikes
So you did a better job of managing the fuel

Simon your bike is a bit lighter than you mention and Scott yours is a bit heavier than you mention

Mine for the record came in at 162kg

Na .. tried it and it's too much of a job

i do however have a nice monster frame to fit it to (next years bike .. shhh .. top secret project)

When we weighed them at oulton last year .. think mine was 165 kg

How come there wasn't a 2litre left in the tank check too?
Why not post all the weight results, nobody has anything to hide.

Nothing to hide as all are legal

Several years ago when bikes were weighed at a race meeting at Donington, Chaz asked for the weight of his bike not be disclosed. As it was legal then there was no need to disclose to everybody what the bike actually weighed, same goes for the BHP readings.

If the Chief Tech (aka Bernie) thinks anyone is outside the rules he will not only discuss it with the RC but also the Clerk of the course in case an amendment to the results is required.

as for checking that there are two litres of fuel left in the tank, that would take quite some time to do the whole of the grid.

So that leaves two options, either pick some bikes at random or parc ferme the bikes and see if a rider wants to lodge a protest in the given time frame.

The two litre rule is an ACU rule that is written in to the DD regs so that entrants are aware of it.
As you really don't want to fall foul of it as the penalty from the ACU is quite harsh with a 6 month minimum suspension of your race licence during the race season from March - October

Just check your ACU handbook, to me its a poorly written rule as the way it is written seems to equate using illegal fuel with finishing with 1.95 litres of legal fuel. where one could be blatant cheating and the other a miscalculation.

Only larkin about, what did mine actually tip the scales at?

I've got a 9" angle grinder that could prove useful now!
