Just read about the ne Indian Springfield in CycleNews and it says it costs $250 more for the California model because of emissions equipment. My question is if you are from out of State and buy a bike can it be ridden in California if you are on Holiday/ Touring? or are you screwed?

It'd be quite alright to ride/drive any vehicle within the state of California sold and licensed in any other state, Stephen. The "California canister", an additional charcoal filter canister fitted down-line to the gasoline delivery system on motorcycles is only required to be fitted on them sold within the state of California and then registered with that state.
Btw, because unlike many states, California does not require motorcycles to go through an every-two-year vehicle emission inspection test as do all cars and trucks registered there nor a vehicle safety inspection in order to get your tags renewed, one of the first things we'd do after purchasing a motorcycle in that state when I lived there would be to remove that canister from the bike and stick the thing in a corner of the garage.
(...although this might have changed since the six years I've moved to Arizona...I DO know however that one of the last things the old "Governator" Arnold there did while in office was to sign a bill making many aftermarket exhausts systems fitted to motorcycles illegal...primarily "thanks" to all the idiots who believe that old wives tale that "loud pipes save lives" and who had pissed-off so many of the non-motorcycling general public because of it)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Well Ade, in YOUR case here, there of course would have to be allowances made for this.
(...you Limeys have always been a little slow on the ol' uptake ya know, and evidenced by your seemingly collective inabilities to understand the simple thought that there is NO rational reason for your continued use of that SUPERFLUOUS LETTER "U" placed within certain words in our shared language!!!)

I'd bet the version used in England has changed almost as much since 1776 as the version used in the US.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

That don't mean anything, it's rightfully theirs to do with as they will. Even insist upon the use of that superfluous "u" that vexes Dwight so.

We also like to say they drive on the wrong side of the road.
However, in the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.
Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road.
In the late 1700s, however, teamsters in France and the United States began hauling farm products in big wagons pulled by several pairs of horses. These wagons had no driver’s seat; instead the driver sat on the left rear horse, so he could keep his right arm free to lash the team. Since he was sitting on the left, he naturally wanted everybody to pass on the left so he could look down and make sure he kept clear of the oncoming wagon’s wheels. Therefore he kept to the right side of the road.

Interesting history there Chad.I was told that spiral staircases in castles are made so as to allow right handed men to use their swords defending the stairs more easily coming down. As I used to tell my friends in Europe and the U.S., "You may drive on the right side of the road, but we drive on the CORRECT side of the road"

Well, you know Paul, there IS a reason in our shared language a synonym for the word "correct" is "right", don't ya?!

Dwight,I think,it's because there were more right handed people out there,making the cockeyed rules up, rather than we numerically less, but smarter left handed people.Otherwise Left would be right and correct and right would be wrong or less correct than left.Things would come out of right field, instead of left field.Not quite correct would be a little right of centre not left of centre.
I think I need to cut down on the caffeine.

I guess I will use Samuel Clemens as my defense. "A man who can only spell a word one way lacks imagination." I bet Dwight , and him could have a great debate about that.

Yep! And I know JUST how'd I start out MY side of the debate too, Chad!

Just referencing and playing off that old SNL "Point-Counterpoint" comedy skit with Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtain, Chad. And which in turn was a spoof of the old closing "60 Minutes" segment in which Shana Alexander and James J. Kilpatrick would verbally spar for a few minutes about some then current issue.
(...nope, of course I wouldn't say that to Mr. Clemens)

Don't forget that the Latin for left handed is sinister. Hardly a coincidence.
And the correct side on the road is the one I am driving on at the time😜

It only proves Latin was invented by the right handed majority,jealous of the good looks,intelligence,wit,class and all around savoir faire of the left handed.
