They probably wanted me and my sport bike out of there ASAP.
Don't look directly at it, guys!!

And Kuro.... yep, that would pizz me off, too.
It seems that "Went to the dealer today" is a popular beginning to many stories of fail. :P

Anyway, it passed inspection and I will probably go back there again if they'll shuttle me through like that every time.
Ya when he took off I was like "wtf???". I know they have to give it a run to make sure stuff actually works. But I'd think that if I weren't certain of the operation of a bike, I wouldn't be trying to hit 45 in the parking lot

And when he came back towards the garage I was wincing visibly thinking "If they wreck my baby, they don't have anything to replace her"

That's bullsh!t. As soon as he would have stepped off my bike, he would have had broken teeth. When my bike got inspected, they literally walked around the bike, turned on the blinkers and flashed the brake lights... And then gave me the sticker. That was that. You should complain to somebody bro

My last inspection, the guy actually asked me if it was ok for him to pull it into the garage from in front of the garage door.

(d) Road test. Perform a road test and reject if one or more of the following apply:
(1) The vehicle is not capable of stopping within the maximum stopping distance prescribed in Table I (relating to brake performance).
(2) There is a malfunction of the braking or steering mechanism—particularly shimmy, wander and pull—or another questionable operating behavior that affects safe operation of vehicle.
(3) The speedometer does not operate.
(4) The odometer does not operate except on motorcycles at least 25 years old.
(5) The vehicle cannot be driven forward.

I guess the engine rev was for emissions or sound.

so the road test is nessesary... still seems that they should show a little respect for your bike and you ... altho this sound like what we all go thru at the DMV ... id rather be beaten with a big stick than have to deal with the DMV....thank GOD we dont have emmisions testing anymore...now that was a joke...

I've never had an inspector do a road test on any of my bikes. Interesting to know... lol..

id rather be beaten with a big stick than have to deal with the DMV...
I don't even want to get into that. I hate the DMV, and feel like I could have an aneurysm just talking about it....
