In Texas, I don't know what's on the official inspection list, but in practice, they look at insurance coverage, current tag, lights, horn, tires and a cursory brake check.Mel46 wrote:I know the South is quite lenient when it comes to cars, but when it comes to motorcycles, really, what is inspected?

2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

Re: Terrible experience at the MVA today
You obviously can't ride it on the road with an off road license. Go to a different office. They should be able to go by the VIN to know which vehicle the PCX is and that it needs plates.mongerhater wrote:I was so fed up and just took the decal and left. Now I'm confused, should I just go along with the ORV and ride as if it is one and not bother getting a license? Or maybe it is a ORV? Probably going to try a different mva on monday

They made me shows lights were working. Which is why I am riding without an inspection until I get my turn signals repaired

Re: Terrible experience at the MVA today
I know I didn't have to much terrible in Illinois. Although when I told them that it was a scooter they said well you need a L class license. I told no because it is over a 149 cc so I have to have a M class license. They were okay and put it though as a M class.

It was a breeze here in DC. All my experiences with the DC DMV have been efficient and painless. Other DC agencies, though, are terrible to work with-- god help you if you need a replacement trash can. I've never understood why some agencies are so well run and others are so awful.
