Texas Registration
The thread about where to carry registration got me to thinkin'. Dangerous, I know! Anyway, Texas doesn't issue registrations, in a paper form, anyway. For cars you get a sticker that goes on the windshield, and a receipt that must be carried, but only in commercial vehicles. For bikes you get a month & year sticker for the plate, and the same type receipt as a car gets, again it only needs to be carried in a commercial vehicle.
Just wonderin' if any of us Texians has ever been stopped out-of-state on a bike? Did the John-Law ask for your registration?

and had an inspection sticker from my 67 Triumph motorcycle on the windshield.
No drivers license, no insurance either.
Cop stuck his head in the passenger window (they were on the pass side back then),
looked right at it close, looked at me, 18 yrs old, and said "get outta here".

RE: Texas Registration
I carry mine, stapled to my insurance ID card, just for that reason....it's no big deal as it's only 1 sheet of paper and most states require it of their drivers. I've been stopped for speed several times out of state over the years and it's my philosophy that the fewer complications you present to the LEO the more likely that you can get a warning ticket.
