very good point George, and same goes for recording numbers on ebay.
not goona happen, false numbers will be given all of the time.
of course they could have you got to a documented ebay listing store to verify correct numbers,and list the item in the prescense of an officially notorized witness, and provide document verification upon shipment thru officially registered government certified shipment centers.etc...
Race promoters would get to check that your numbers on the frame of the bike match the numbers that you put on the entry form, at the same time they are verifying your health insurance documentation.
I am goona buy a single speed rigid bike and shut-up.
I better go to bed , sorry I am tired.

Why would you expect the number on the form to be accurate in such a case?
