In the famous words words of Monty Python -"no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

As an integral part of ensuring a level playing field in Desmo Due, teh Race Committee reserves unto itself the right at any time to impound a grid in Parc ferme and perform such checks as it deems necessary on any or all of the bikes.

Now as I should have more time avaiable this summer than last year, I feel the need to make up for a few lost opportunities! There will be no prior announcement that will allow people to fix their bikes the night before!

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise....
Our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency....
Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...
and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope....
Our four... no...
Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry...
are such elements as fear, surprise...
I'll come in again.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn!

Very Good, Lol.
Yes, I'm sure all of us would be up for any checks in the interest of fairness. (Although a dyno would probably be easier prior to pulling a bike to bits).
If these Suprise, ruthless, fearful checks are going to be done, I do hope that the race techs are going to be in propper uniform, ie, red gown, red cap, red brimmed hat and moustaches especially groomed for the occasion. that would lighten things up a bit! :o)
The clerk our chairman could also be anointed "BISHOP"!
