Changes in Motorcycle Inspections

Early this morning one of my students stopped by the shop and wanted to
talk. I listened as he told me how bleak society seems to him. He went on to
say how negative he had become, and disliked everyone he came into contact
with. Automatically, he says, he runs people down, makes up stuff about them
and uses every opportunity to spread his criticism. He is convinced he is
the worst example of a human being. To cheer him up, I just forwarded him
this. He will go to bed tonight knowing worst case, he is No. 3........

By the examples that you represent, at least, in respect to this newsgroup,
I'd say that "student" has every reason to feel depression..

Fortunately, I don't have young folks in the school system, anymore.. By
virtue of the fact that someone with as little judgement as you, in that
system .. might influence them.. I'd seriously consider "home schooling"
before I'd allow you to become a part of their learning..

 

Hmmmm.. I must have missed something .. Whose issue is "that" ? So far..
the issue has been about handlebars and tail lights requirements, which MAY
or MAY NOT be included in legislation that could be voted on in the upcoming
legislature, next January..

 

You've been quite outspoken about your opinions of "issues".. The
regulations which govern anyone must meet guidelines of legislation.. EPA
regulations already are in place to prohibit tampering with fuel
carburations and exhaust systems..

There is speculation that other regulations are being considered that will
determine the appearance of motorcycles.. Some detailed touring bikes could
also be affected by both the handlebar height and the tail light placement..
Most of the touring bikes look like Christmas Trees when they are lit up..

Cruisers are detailed with a lot of chrome..

Sport bikes are designed for the performance of speed and agility..

Sport Touring bikes are designed for long distance touring and speed..

Sport bikes have taken an especially hard rap, in the minds of the public,
recently.. The antics of some of the sport riders have made them targets for
public criticism..

Regulations and legislation which ban them from public streets and highways
is only a breath away.. All that is necessary, is for some idiot legislator
to tack his Bill onto legislation of merit which would be successfully voted
into legislation.. In that case, you could haul your motorcycle to the track
and ride it there..

As usual .. you have failed to grasp the implications of the ISSUE.. Since
it doesn't affect you, at this time, it is OK and you agree..

 

You are truly a detestible little prick..<chuckle>

This occasional glimpse into the twitterings of

Sneaky little twit, aren't you.. Seems like you never miss an opportunity to
attack me or Brian..That appears to represent an obsessive compulsion
complex.. Might want to look into that Albert, could be a serious flaw in
your character..

In other words.. you are saying that you got in a piss fight with Brian and
he ate your lunch.. LMAO..

WTF are you babbling about ?????? Who the hell is riding a motorcycle with
no front brakes.. Are you that damned simple minded.. you blithering
idiot..??

 

I refer back to my original post.. Read it.. What is being addressed is not
the "issue" .. Most of these people do not understand that EPA regulations
have already made most of our motorcycles "illegal"..The regulations which
address the modifications to the carburation systems and the exhaust systems
affect untold numbers of our motorcycles.. Enforcement of those regualtions
would park hundreds of thousands of them.. as in a few of the European
countries..

These regulations are being imposed very covertly .. and without public
knowledge.. for the "public safety".

The speculation of furthur regualtions and legislation that imposes on the
appearances of motorcycles should be a flag that is raised for extreme
alarm..

This is not just an issue of handlebars and tail lights.. This is an
imposition of regulations that can just as easily be directed toward a
specific group of motorcycle enthusiasts.. As I've pointed out in other
posts.. Sport Bikes, for example.. are not popular in the eyes of public
perception.. Due to performances of a few of the sport bike riders, much of
the public sees them as traffic hazards..

El Paso traffic officers are on the alert to pursue and prosecute any excuse
to discourage sport bikers within the city limits.. Words of one motorcycle
officer amongst a group gathered in Barnett's, in July.. Topic of the
discussion was the death of one such sport biker .. The officer making the
comment was the one who ran the biker into a bridge support.. A man died
over some kind of minor traffic infraction..

Bullshit.. this isn't an issue over handlebars nor tail lights and you know
that Stephan..

LMAO.. Holy shit.. what the hell do you think the original post was about,
you twit ?

Besides .. what difference does it make anyway.. If a public meeting was
called in your front yard, you would be "somewhere" else.. LOL.... You
aren't going to voice any opinion anywhere other than on some newsgroup..

 

If the bike has its factory emissions systems as delivered, it will be
in compliance.

The modifications took the motorcycle out of compliance with the
regulations.

What countries? Many more Europeans ride motorcycles for day to day
transportation than Americans do.

EPA regulations? Not really, they are pretty public knowledge and
trumpeted widely in all motor sports magazines and trade journals.

speculation is cause for alarm.

First they came for the Jews....

The guy who ran chose the possibility of strawberry jam over a lousy
traffic ticket. Bad choice. Darwin gets another one.

What is it about then? An overarching plot against motorcycles ?

 

Changing jets in carburators constitute modifications.. Most after market
exhausts

If you'd attended a few TMRA II meetings, you might be more aware of what is
being discussed.. Since you haven't, there doesn't seem much point that you
will contribute much of any import in this discussion..

Hmmm... really.. you sure don't seem to be "up to speed"..

Nah... the real cause of alarm is the contemptible assholes like you ..
Ignorant as a box of rocks.. Your input is only argumentative, from an
uninformed opinion that doesn't matter anyway.. Your voice will never be any
more than your silly posts on a newsgroup.. You are the perfect definition
of a Welfare Biker ..

Surprising how silly you will get, isn't it..??

This opinion is very revealing...

Still don't get it, do you..?? Notice.. you are the only one who even asks
a question like that ? Clueless..

 

You are a stupid little fellow..

 

Yep. They modified the bike, possibly into non-compliance. You can
have performance enhancements that meet emission standards too.

What European countries were discussed ? Is it a secret ?

But I do read the trades and keep up with impending and proposed regs.

Not being argumentative, what "appearance" is proposed being outlawed
and by whom? Inform us, please.

What regulations are being directed against Sport Bikes? Who is doing
that?

That someone who runs from a police pursuit is stupid.

What do you perceive the issue to be?

 

Damn... I just knew, somehow.. that I couldn't count on your and ol' "Wrong
John" to support my proposed agenda to ban sport bikes from streets and
highways.. Sheesh .. well ok.. guess I'll just have to surprise you with it
then..

 

That's pretty well par for Albert! When he's shown as ignorant as he
truly is and let's his ass hang out for me to kick, he then forgets
what he was babbling about in the first place and makes it into a "for
the children" remark that has nothing to do with the original ignorant
statement. In every case up to (and not excluding) now, he's managed
to make himself look even more like the fool he is by his own
comments.

Let's not forget, when the "for the children" runs out...then we turn
our attention to "terrorists".

 

Who's talking about "front brakes"?

Oh, that's right. You like to change your topics when you find your
"opinion" isn't supported either by facts or by other "opinions".

Could all the people who believe handlebar height of 15" from the seat
limitation is a "reasonable and well thought out safety issue" please
stand and be heard?

Thank you.

Looks like you're in a very close minority.

It must suck to be so very wrong as you are right now.

 

I see. Interesting how this has nothing to do with anything.

I believe if it's true that you're a "teacher" of some sort, I'm
beginning to see why people are talking about there being such a
problem with the education system. I can't believe someone claiming to
be an educator would subscribe to bikers pissin' in their yard and how
that might relate to pulling motorcyclists off the highway and have
them strip nude for searches would be justified...for a person
thinking a motorcyclist has been pissin' in their yard. I can't
believe someone claiming "educator" status would subscribe to the
notion...well, of the many many lunatic ideas you portray here.

 

This Louie character is in about the same category as John Moran and Albert
Nurick.. Actually .. e-mails are flying fast and furious.. right about
now.. None of these fools have ever laid eyes on either of us. Moran gave
the game away a couple of days ago..

 

Quite possibly.. In all likelihood, you will still be in compliance with the
regulations.. "this year".. Between EPA regulations and whatever else the
DPS and DOT might conceive, there is a strong possibility that many of your
friends and brothers will NOT be permitted to ride with you..

I have been stopped by officers, over the years .. who obviously had a
personal problem with bikers and motorcycles.. in general.. All of them had
a "horror" story to share with anyone who'd listen.. You've encountered the
same thing with others who you have come in contact with..

These regulations and legislation are not accidental, nor at random.. Bikers
in Texas have become a major political force to be reckoned with.. you've
also seen some examples of that phenomenon.. Division within biker's groups
create a breach that defies unity.. Elimination of as many bikers as can be
managed dilutes that unity even furthur..

Little as anyone may think about it, many of our elected representatives in
Texas have been opposed by bikers.. Several of those come to mind.. They've
appealed to TMRA II and ABATE for support.. Failing to get that support,
they will resort to any measure to minimize the effect of the motorcyclists
advocacy groups.. That's my take on this entire situation.. and I'll give
odds that I am not far off the mark..

The 15 inches is measured grips to seat plane. That is a vertical
measurement. So, Jailcall, the answer is no.
