Greenbird?

Now I've discovered how to post images I thought the emissions report results that I tried to post in my Newbie post might interest someone.

Pretty green for a 50 year old car, no?

Not bad!

My 62 Bird is on its way to Arizona now, and the good news is that it gets a free pass as an antique car - no emissions required. On the other hand, my county is the only county in the entire US that tests motorcycles for emissions (!) and my heavily modified Harley didn't even have a chance. Seeing your report, I wish they would let me substitute the antique for the bike and call it a day.

Hi Jay,

Yes, not bad that it can deliver those numbers without a cat, or any emissions gear at all.

I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth in AZ. I agree about the bike thing though. Did the proposal to exempt bikes get dropped?

Actually, the proposal passed! What I heard is that the county called the feds to see what steps needed to be taken to shut down the motorcycle emissions program, and the feds told them nobody had a guideline forr shutting them down because nobody else does it... I don't know if that story is true, but its my favorite so far.

Rumor has it that they may stop doing it in the next month or two, so I am trying various excuses to extend a temp reg to avoid a bunch of useless work on the bike.
