Hey there,

does anyone have a small trailer that will fit a motorcycle? My roommate has a street legal dirtbike he wants to take home to get inspected over thanksgiving, and I would lend him my trailer, but I'm pulling it back to chicago so I can bring the Scrambler back here.....

I'm sure he'd be willing to get you a case of beer, if not more...

no, but what kind of dirt bike is it? What state is he getting it inspected in?

He might want to check whether he has to have the inspection or not. I was on the road for a long time so I checked with Va. If the vehicle stays out of state you don't have to get it inspected till you/it returns. The Cobra was in TX for a couple of years and wasn't inspected till it returned. The only problem I can think of is if IL requires inspection to keep the tags current.

The way the state police interpreted it to my buddy was that he didn't need a VA state inspection while he was in NC for school (and then subsequently work), but if he drove the truck back into VA with a lapsed inspection they didn't care where he'd been, or why...he was going to get a ticket if he got caught with a VA registration and not a VA inspection. Other states might be different in their equivalent requirements.

I was on the road for about 30 years so this happened several times. Granted coming back I would only be driving less than a mile to an inspection station. I would imagine he would probably trailer the bike home if he were taking it back. The info was given by an inspection station and I believe it had provisions for getting the vehicle to a station, I always kept some gas reciepts from the trip in case.
