Upcoming Events: Get Your Sticker, then Attend!

Reminder - motorcycle inspection stickers deadline is Sunday, May 31. Being stopped with an invalid, current sticker carries a $50 fine, is a surchargable offense increasing your insurance rates, and the vehicle is subject to tow.

There are less than 225 motorcycle inspection shops in Massachusetts, for over 180,000 registered motorcycles. Most are not open on Sundays, and/or close early on Saturday. To locate an inspection site near you - see this site, put in your town or zip code, click motorcycles, and search. Recommend you call the stations near you to find out their operating hours. http://massvehiclecheck.state.ma.us/find_inspection_station.html
