What did you do to your other motorcycle today ?

They make y’all place those on the bike there huh. Texas there is no sticker for bikes but you have to inspect yearly to renew your plates.
Same here, no inspections and we don't pay to renew our registration anymore...

It can go most anywhere on the fork where it is 'visible', on the swingarm(looks terrible), and not on any fairing or easily removeable parts.
It also cannot be on an individual backing plate or a licence plate frame, as they too easily bolt from one bike to the next.
Technically it can go on the frame, but aside from also looking terrible, your legs cover it, so it isn't 'visible'.
Va also requires these for cars, and they go on the driver's side lower inner windsheild.
It's $12 to $16 for bikes, and $20 for cars(more work, have to pull 2 wheels to check brakes).
I have paid all 3 amounts for bikes, with no explanation.
Local auto shop only charges me $12 for a bike.
If it fails State Inspection, you pay the full price, minus one dollar, then get a legal Rejection Sticker that lasts 16 days.
Fix it, bring it back within 16 days, pay $1, and get a valid sticker. Go over 16 days, and it's full price again...or just pay the shop to fix the problem then and there so it will pass inspection.
Majority of that money, goes to the state.
Shops usually get more work from vehicles needing brakes or tires, so it can help with revenue.
Shops are also state limited as to how many vehicles one inspector can do in a day, so they cant just hand out stickers.
But, I got 2 tickets over 20 years ago for my state inspection being out of date, and they cost over $120 each with court costs then...
I will pay the $20 or less now, and avoid all of that.
 
Stripped and cleaned the carbs on my Bonneville. When I bought it, it had been sitting for a few years and the gas was rank. After flushing and re-filling, the bike ran pretty well except for a bad bog just off of idle... only really affected taking off from a stop so I wasn't too concerned about fixing it right away.

But today I finally got to it and I'm glad that I did. Bike's fuelling is 100% now, perfect transition off of idle. Winning.

My .380 sleeps nicely on the bag liners with a pocket. Hope it never needs to wake up.
Normally I’d have my Glock 33 in .357 sig on me but I sold all my guns when my son passed away. I can’t be trusted with them anymore. So I carry my new t-ball bat and a Cold Steel Rajah II.

Seems like a lot of weaponry to go for a bike ride.....

I have enough trouble trying to remember my reading glasses....

I would be willing to bet that where Greg and the Sarge live, that if you turn down the wrong street, on the wrong day, in traffic, and in the wrong colored shirt, or on the wrong kind of bike, that could get you into some trouble.
I wouldn't mind a bat in reach(I'll take a clubbing over a stab or slash, lol)
I could lay that Hardly on it's 'side' in a slide, Captain Morgan'd standing on top of it, right foot on the throttle, home run swinging at all the bad guys(and when Vin Diesel does that sh*t...you heard it here first)
lmao

The knife is always on me. I use it at work constantly. The bat well you'd be amazed at the amount of people who throw things at harley riders, or just try their luck. I'm getting old, and my right hand has been broken and healed incorrectly about 15 times. My pinky finger on the right hand actually rests over the other fingers. I enjoy fighting. Well I did when I was younger.

We are pretty spoiled around here as nothing like that happens and I've been down the streets of some of the worst neighborhoods..

The fur has stood up on the back of my neck at times though.

There was a time years ago when some weirdo on bath salts was trying to take people off their motorcycles when they were stopped at street lights....

Be hard to grab a bat, hold onto the handlebars and operate the clutch all at the same time....

its really not, we used to hit rocks and baseballs, softballs, whatever we had with bats on dirtbikes in the fields as teenagers, lol
Lay the bat over the bars or your lap, get in the right gear to coast at whatever speed, stand up on the pegs or seat...and have your friends 'pitch' to you...more like at you.
Spectacular fails garaunteed, lmao
We've tried dirtbike polo with golf clubs too.

Unless you carry a bat in your arms in traffic awaiting some nut who may or may not attack you, the chances of getting it out of where it's held and into action would be a miracle....

Other SOF guys would be able to shoot from their bikes...they had a pretty hard qualification standard.....
