Well Brian, I, too, have 40+ years of riding AND over 5000 emergency calls as a paramedic and, despite the results of your well designed scientific study, Bill is exactly correct.

Ian, as of last year, if you lived in North Carolina, and soon to be coming to a state near you, you would be unable to register your bike without a current inspection. As part of the the 2007 federal budget, future highway funding to the states will be dependent each state adopting the same policy within, as I recall, 5 years (it might be 7). So, unless your state is opting out of future highway funding, you've got another year, maybe two, and afterward you'll also be proudly riding with expired plates. They might make an exception for you if you tell them you don't care.



I live in NJ and I haven't had my bikes inspected since 2003
and now they have deceided to not inspect motorcycles as all. Sort of took all the fun out of ignoring inspections


We must have a lot more cops than you guys. I find myself at 'routine' checkpoints a couple time a year. You're welcome to a few of ours.
