Looks pretty clean for a bike that's been ridden all day.  No insects  
there??

I'm curious what the black X's of tape over the headlights are for.

To minimize broken glass dispersal in the event of a crash.

The fast bikes clear them up for the slow lappers. 8-))

Theoretically, to prevent broken shards of glass contaminating the 
pristine surface of the race track.

...and you think you're joking? I'm _really_ not fast :-)

I'm surprised it looks as clean as it does. The trip up the day before
was 150 odd miles of foul weather.

Yep, some people even tape every inch of glass, but what you see there
seemed to be enough to get the bike through scrutineering.

The concept is pretty good.  I think I would have preferred seeing the
saw in place of the gas can.  I'm guessing the gas can represents the
chain saw that did the cutting.

Except the theme was fire and the gas can was just there. I didn't build 
the scene.
I *did* put the can there, just not for the photo.
