Dirt Bike FAQ

Bikes are only legal to ride on public roads if they came from the manufacturer with that intent. In other words if you own a duo-sport or enduro type dirt bike that came from the manufacturer with headlight, tail and stop light, license plate holder and turn signals it is intended for street use on public roads. If it came with everything for riding on public roads except turn signals it may still be legal for street use as turn signals didn't become mandatory for all street bikes until sometime in the seventies. And the reality is most cops don't know or bother with keeping up on which bikes should have turn signals and which don't legally have to. I don't like the looks of stock turn signals and take them off. I've never been cited for not having turn signals when rousted. They tend to stick to the old standbys, handlebars too high and pipes too loud.
