Arizona riders: questions....
Looks like we are moving to the Phoenix "area" from frozen Western Nebraska (2 below wind chill this morning !).
Questions for the Arizona riders: am I going to run into any problems registering my old Evo ? Looks like they require emissions testing on anything older than 5 years that will be registered in Phoenix OR use to commute to that area. Is the inspection strictly emissions or do they check the pipes for EPA, noise, etc ? Any other issues in Arizona ?
Can't wait to get out of this friggin cold !!

Just had to have my 06 emission tested for the first time a few weeks ago. All they tested for was emissions. I have Screamin Eagle II's and they didn't use any db meter or the like for noise. As far as the other issues in AZ. I have found the pro's outweigh the cons. First and foremost, oh course, is the weather, you can't beat year round riding. Lotsa stuff to do as far as runs and rallys, and you can carry a gun concealed or open on your hip without having to pay for any stinkin permits. I grew up im MN and believe me... this is better.

Was out there two summers ago: August. Moving the father-in-law from Sun City. Loaded the damn moving trailer (semi) by myself in just a pair of shorts. Old ladies were waving their hankys from the windows thinking "jail bait" !! Hot as hell, but mornings and evenings were freakin awesome ! Thank god for 30 packs of Coors Light to stay hydrated....

HG its a trade-off when the heat gets here and you'll find that out for yourself. You get 4-5 months of tolerable temp's then it's back to the inferno. As far as registering your Evo, if I had to do it again and not registered here yet I would try to register it elsewhere so I could avoid that emission BS and that's what I recommend. The Montana idea really appeals to me but I haven't pursued that avenue as yet. Good luck with you decision.

If the bike is registered in Nebraska just prior to moving to AZ. would this give you one year to enjoy Arizona and find out what it is going to take. Are the emission standards state wide or just for Phoenix?
