That must be NoVA - not really Virginia. We only have the yearly safety inspection. Takes longer to remove and apply the new sticker than doing the inspection at my local mechanic. I sure hope we don't have emissions testing in Richmond, but it has been rumored to be coming for some time.

In VA they run the cagers up on a dyno of sorts and take readings at different speeds and have the sniffer pipe in the exhaust, and the results are transmited directly to the DMV folks. No emission test, no registration. This is done every other year on the emissions, but you still get the safety inspection every year. For bikes there is only a yearly visual from what I understand, just don't go in blowing all sorts of smoke out the exhaust. I think that the orginal poster may be correct unfortunately since ther are more vehicles on the road the governments nedds to do something about this they feel.

Old news............it is called the EPA tier two emission standard.
I work in the motorcycle exhaust industry, so I deal with EPA crap all day. The manufacturers need to make things "more tamper proof" but there will always be a way....don't fret !
