It is sad that some states still enforce the inspection sticker racket, but laws are laws be they good or bad.

I quit using rear-mounted racks after being rear-ended. Fortunately, my bike was not on the rack at the time of the accident. I switched to a roof-rack, but ultimately bought a mini-van with fold-down rear seats so that I could carry my bike safely inside.

Not sure where I was headed with this. Blame it on the beer . . .
