Who and why?

[Marmalade]

Travelling North on the A34 Friday, somewhere near Oxford these 4 bikes pass me. all the same and have odd racks on them.

20 minutes later I pass them parked up in the services just before M40

So, anyone know who they are and why have those racks on?

Could they be seats for a rear facing cameraman? Possibly for filming the Tour of Britain Cycle race?

EDIT: One of the riders has "TV" stickers on his helmet.

I didn't notice the 'TV' on one of the lids until you said that.

Could well be the answer

The "TV" on the lid gave it away.

So,the one with TV on his lid is TV.Is the one with W wireless?

(Yes,I know for a huge chunk of our members wireless is something you have on your PC and not radio).

No, not camera bikes, that's just ONE nights worth of pizza delivery to BCF's Skudd

How do they get round the bit in the RTA which does actually say motorcycle passengers must be properly 'seated' and facing the direction of travel?

Right! It's symantics; MUST be 'Astride' and 'Should' face forwards.

I've compounded tow snippets wrongly; I KNEW riding 'Side-Saddle' had been made illegal; & presumed it was a 'must' face forward....

There was a bike in NMCM; cant remember what it was; 1920/30's thing, with a padded arm chair at 45 Degrees on the pillion & running board under, described as a 'Lady' seat so Edwardian women could ride side-saddle in thier long skirts!

Sorry, no that's just a random side saddle pic from google img.
Couldn't find pic of one in NMCM...
But 'Lady-Seat' in GI brought up a close up of George Clooney's face, and a gimp suit!

During the race they close the roads..they can sit/stand how they want.
