It just seemed to me that back when people thought a computer crash was going to send the world back into the dark ages, there were a couple guys that actually succeeded at making them legal. I thought 1 guy was from Colorado but it might have been Utah and Florida comes to mind. I know they can in Puerto Rico but then again I saw guys on YZ250's riding thru the middle of Fajardo and the cops didn't even turn around to look.
I distinctly remember someone saying that in their state they needed a horn, a side mirror, and a speedo. so they went to Wal-Mart and bought a bike squeeze horn, a clamp on handle bar mirror and a cheap speedometer and took it to the dmv and got plates.
There's gotta be a way. My only concern is the new generation doesn't know anything or do anything. They just wait for an app to do it for them.
