You'd be wrong on that JOG, in the Tx driver's handbook, it tells you what equipment your cars must have to be legal
third brake light is not required
neither is a windsheild, though your wipers must work Grin

I laughed my butt off over that, when I went to class to be certified as a State inspector
Farm plates allow you to delete you catalyst legally, too

That's what I did, it wouldn't be a total loss if the memories made moving it like that were good enough.

because you're a speed demon / squid, not a biker

Speed demon / squid; definition
Rides a bike because it's 'cool' or because it's stupid fast
likes going in a straight line (probably due to lack of skill) at insane speeds / on back wheel trailers or hauls bike tor riding venues / shows

Biker, definition
Rides because he loves to ride
Rides a motorcycle any time it's practical (and sometimes when it's not) Loves twisty roads more than speed
rides bike to riding venues / shows, rides bike home

I didn't even know what a "squid" was until I heard some of these motovloggers using the term. I've been riding Street bikes for 8 years now...since I was 15 years old...

I don't think I'm a squid Huh

However...I do like going fast, and I would haul my bike if I was going on a long trip, because anytime I go on a long trip, the wife is bound to come, and while she enjoys riding, she doesn't like rides much longer than a 100 or so miles on the bike. I can't blame her, the passenger seat is tiny. I need to buy a butty buddy.
