Yer facked. Gonna have to stud up and ride it here. We might be loose with registrations because we want your money but we got about the worst inspection regime in the country. Is there still the vermont loophole anyways? I thought there was talk about closing it down? It seems to be getting harder here for bikes, I stopped bothering to inspect mine.

Blah, that's what I figured. The loophole still exists, I sent in the forms and they said I needed the dirtbike conversion form filled out first.
Bikes in my state are like "Do the lights work? Honk the horn. You're good". It's worse up there?

Some places won't if you don't have DOT tires, some places won't if you don't have blinkers, some places won't if you don't have a stock exhaust. It seems like it's all over the place. A lot of places don't really know the rules and are stricter than required because they don't want to lose their inspection license. I haven't had a bike inspected in a long time but with cars they have to take pictures with a special tablet and send them to the state, and if they fail you they notify the state so you can't just bring it somewhere else. It's a racket.

That's wild. Really appreciate the info. The last step of my conversion was gutting it and making it all electric.... Already did that, now I can't really take it anywhere.... Bad planning on my part.
