Upside to state inspections is resale values are typically much higher compared to nearby states without it. What sucks is the separate emissions inspection $ that is nothing more than a vent test of the fuel cap, & visual inspection of exhaust system. The large cities perform a tailpipe sniff test also. As for potholes don't get me started on PA roads & our damn gasoline road tax! I've been on smoother donkey trails! You cannot survive riding a hardtail for long unless you've had every spinal vertebrae pinned!
