GETTING MY SUZUKI TU250X INSPECTED IN TEXAS: Procrastination, almost jobless, stoplight habit?

[@mysterymacaroni]

I had a little 450 Suzuki. That was a fun little bike. Yeah I do the same thing I red lights and stop signs. Always looking behind me to see if someone is coming in hot lol. Great video

[@JoyonaBike]

Sounds like fun! But very true, never know when you’ll have to make a speedy getaway!

[@ChopperFett]

Found you from Doyle's Sunday Funday Shoutout. #supportmvc Looking forward to the content.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks for stopping by! Just subbed to you and I'll be checking out your channel. 😎

[@ChopperFett]

Joy on a Bike I appreciate that thank you!!!

[@EasyRiderGreg]

Staying in gear holding in the clutch with an escape route is always a safe way to do things. I'm glad that we don't need any safety or smog inspections on vehicles here in Prescott, AZ. No wasting time or money. Stay safe and healthy.

[@JoyonaBike]

Less of a hassle, for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@bigredmachine55]

I bet that lil TU250 is a blast

[@JoyonaBike]

It really is! 😁

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

Same here, I have never put my bike in neutral setting at the lights,ya never know when you want to get gone fast, stay safe and stay healthy 💯

[@JoyonaBike]

Maybe I should just keep the habit for staying in first instead of trying to fight it. 😅

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@JoyonaBike I do just because I might need to pop the clutch take off quick or get out of the way of another vehicle, it's not too bad to hold in on the clutch, I like your videos be girl keep up the good work 💯✌️😎

[@JoyonaBike]

OZARKS H-D RIDER'S That’s a good point for sure, a good way to be prepared just in case. Thanks very much!! 😄

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@JoyonaBike your welcome girl, anytime 💯

[@hootNhollar]

I'm not real familiar with Suzi's, but any day doing something mundane like a safety inspection on a bike, is a lot better than doing the same thing in a car. Ride Safe, Ride Free

[@JoyonaBike]

For sure! Especially on such a pretty day.

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Stay safe . Talking about staying in 1st at red light . Did you see Shadetree Surgeon sunday video now that was close and flip Na all most same video

[@JoyonaBike]

Oh wow, I just watched it! C.r.a.z.y.

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

@@JoyonaBike yep I dont won't to be that close

[@Viper918]

I like the look of that bike, seems perfect for the quick get around, new to your channel, discovered you via FletchDyna, greetings from South Africa.

[@JoyonaBike]

Hey there! It's a pretty fun little bike for sure. Thanks for stopping by!

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

I was amazed at how easy motorcycle inspections are. My spyder is a semi-automatic, so it's always in first at stoplights and stuff. I guess thats good for quick getaways like you said.

[@JoyonaBike]

I guess I'm always used to having to do a brake check, which is one more step but this place didn't bother. I'm looking forward to taking the Buell Lightning to Harley Davidson for an inspection because my hubby says it's pretty cool to watch there.

[@Fletch_Rides]

Its the same here in Singapore. We have to do it before we can renew our insurance and pay for Road Tax.

[@JoyonaBike]

Oh wow, even your insurance is involved. 😮

[@Fletch_Rides]

@@JoyonaBike Yeah they're pretty strict about it and especially the Euro 4 emission standards must be adhered to.

[@SteelHorseTexasTwangExchange]

I’m always in gear at stops too. Sometimes I’m tired of it but it’s good habit in case of emergencies and I’m trying not to break the habit

[@JoyonaBike]

Very true. 😊

[@benoitgariepy6657]

Actually, being in gear is recommended (and what is teached) up north, in Québec, Canada, in the beginner rider class. Gonna get back my Tu 250x from storage this week, after this long winter. I can't wait!

[@jesusissonshine]

I wanna bike😥❣😂

[@JoyonaBike]

I know! Maybe one day we’ll get a bike you can ride with me on. 😊

[@HaveMotoWillTravel]

Hi Joy on a bike! Is Joy your name or the feeling you get when you ride? I came over to have a look on The Blue Bike and Doyle's recommendation. I trust the blue bike. Doyle, not so much. ☺ I liked this video, I'll watch more. I think you'll do well. Stay safe. Nice to know you.

[@JoyonaBike]

It's my name but also the feeling when I ride so it made perfect sense! 😆Thanks for your support and stopping by. I've subbed to you and will be checking out some of your stuff soon!

[@DeluxeChimp]

Inspection? Do you pay for that or is it part of the registration fee? And I'm always in gear at lights. Keeping that clutch hand strong ;)

[@JoyonaBike]

Lol, true...keeping the clutch hand strong! The inspection is separate from the registration fee. Inspection is about $7 (not too bad) and registration for a motorcycle is a little over $50.

[@DeluxeChimp]

That's not bad at all. Here in Colorado a vehicle registration can be in the hundreds. We get clipped for a percentage of the sale price. It goes down little by little every year, but I haven't gotten out the door for less than a hundo yet. Hell, the last new car I bought was over $600 to register the first time.

[@TexasRider]

Wow where in Texas are u at because where I am in Texas its raining today Houston lol

[@JoyonaBike]

This was a few days ago actually so today it was rainy where I am too. I’m outside of Austin. A cold, wet and dreary day!

[@rolandkeith5322]

Us this way at the lights have to keep a bike in first gear as it is the law and the why is to move out of the way quickly if a car or truck comes up the back of you with no brakes or something like that.....

[@JoyonaBike]

Oh interesting. I guess it’s not so bad I stay in first after all.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Thanks for the sub. Subbed you back. I always leave my bike in gear and it has saved my butt a few times when I had to take off or be rear ended. Be safe.

[@JoyonaBike]

Sounds like I should stick to staying in gear when at stoplights. Thanks for stopping by and the support!

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

Did that inspection cost you money.? Here in Canada, we only need to have a Bike inspected for 4 reason that I know about. #1) If it was in an accident and You filed an Insurance Claim. #2) If the Bike is over 12-years-old your Insurance company "might" request this, or you could find a different Insurance company. #3) If you buy a Motorcycle from outside your own Province or from the USA. #4) I also heard... if you are pulled over bcz your Motorcycle looks completely unsafe to ride. eg. You added an extra from or back wheel or you modded it in a highly unconventional way... like added a roof or a hand-built sidecar, etc. I've never in my lifetime ever had to have a Car or Motorcycle Inspected is my point.

[@JoyonaBike]

The inspection fee is separate from the registration. Inspection is $7 and registration is $50+. The way it used to work in Texas 5+ years ago was that inspection and registration were two separate things, meaning you didn't have to pass inspection to get registered. That's nice you haven't had to get a vehicle inspected as of yet!

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

Ooh $7 is nothing. Here in Canada a Motorcycle inspection is $150 but it takes hours.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Yep, my bike is always in gear, you just never know

[@JoyonaBike]

Good point...it's true, you never know.

[@gillgjr]

I've seen a few of your video. I want to subscribe, I want to want to like your content. Maybe more actual detail about the bike , or how to bike mods or and before and after bike walk arounds. Less talk and you riding pov about events that lead to your final conclusion of the matter at hand.. "Much talk about only 1 point" Maybe pick a topic and stick to that... Thanks for listening

[@JoyonaBike]

Do you mean you'd like to see more detail / mods / walk arounds of the Suzuki? Because you're right, I haven't done much of that with the Suzuki. I do have a few of those types of videos for the other bikes, have you seen those or would they interest you? I'll keep your comment in mind about the pick a topic, however, I'll probably keep making some videos that are a mix of randomness. Thanks for watching.

[@Supermankev2001]

I found you from Delux chimp I have subscribed I also post motorcycle content. Check out my channel. I was an MSF instructor for 3 years you should leave your bike in gear pull in the clutch so if someone was to not see you from behind you can get out of the way quickly. You are doing the best and safest thing. I also will angle my bike so I have an escape route.

[@JoyonaBike]

Hey! I subbed and will check out your channel. Thanks for sharing your insight. I haven't thought about having my bike at a certain angle so will keep that in mind. 👌🏻
