Texas has had them for years for all on-road vehicles. And I'm good with them. Hopefully the inspector finds the 1-ton truck without any brakes before it hits me. Although Texas is now trying to do away with the safety inspection but keep the emissions testing. But diesels, motorcycles, and 25+ year old cars are exempt.Till his bike falls apart on the highway and he's killed, then you end up with mandatory state inspections.
I tried chasing down another rider on a nice set of twisties reaching speeds over 100 several times. Finally at the end of that section of road he pulled into gas station, he was riding an old Harley that looked about like that bike. Talked with him while fueling up, he had been riding that bike 30 plus years. Reminded me of when I was riding some motocross with my son I hit a big jump and my young son passed me in the air about 5 feet higher and much faster. Maybe I am just not that good of a rider.He is unconventional but he rides better than me. Would love to see what he could do with a real bike. You just had to be there it defies explanation.
Like what we have here in NY since 1982, it isn't so bad.then you end up with mandatory state inspections.
Or "fly by twine." Wonder if it needs the occasional throttle-body trimming?It's not merely a twine throttle, it's the newest innovation..."fly-by-sisal".
This!Maybe one day he will be able to get a newer nicer bike but for now it looks like he's doing the best he can.
If you look at inspection shops in NY, you'll find the odd shop here and there that's only open evenings and weekends, and these shops will pass whatever rust bucket you put in front of them (since the state workers policing this are off the clock).Like what we have here in NY since 1982, it isn't so bad.
Helps keep the real POS off the roads more or less....
All ORGANIC too….It's not merely a twine throttle, it's the newest innovation..."fly-by-sisal".

I bet there is an aluminum foil lining tucked up in that brain bucket also...I might be wrong, but is that high speed protective headgear a black painted helmet liner from a steel pot?
