    Good way to find inspection stations- besides the RMV

    The RMV list is down, and I'm trying to find a shop to inspect my bike. It's bone stock, so I'm not asking for a hookup. I just need a shop near Worcester that'll inspect.
    I'd use Samara's but their guy went on vacation, and I'm overdue.

    TIA!!

    Take the 30 min ride to Central Mass Powersports and they'll do it while you wait, 10 mins.

    WRS in Holliston is pretty good, but probably a hike for you.

    at the intersection of 190 and 117 next to McD's and D&D is Ricks Towing and Truck repair, they do Motorcycle inspections there and they are fast.

    If you haven't already got one I think that would be the closest to you and a quickest ride up the highway avoiding back roads and town cops who have nothing better to do than look for MC with the expire sticker 3 days after they all expire.

    An expired sticker is now a moving violation ticket which affects your insurance rate!

    The last two seasons I had it done there. They are fast, but strict. Failed both times, corrected and passed.
    Guy got down on the ground with a flashlight and failed me on a front fork seal that was barely leaking

    Yes, he's still open. Had both my bikes inspected there.

    I've had good luck at Performance Cycles, too.

    I went to MOMS South last week for my DRZ inspection. I don't know anyone there and I didn't make an appointment. Just rode in and rode out. About 15 minutes total. You can also go in and check out the new Hyosung models.....I'll leave it at that.

    Ruh roh, I removed the reflectors on the Triumph's forks. Luckily the guy inspecting it was in awe of Triumph triple awesomeness and didn't notice....

    Milwaukee Iron in JP. They only work on H-Ds and the like, but they inspect anything. Very good experience there, very nice guys.
