Ever have one of those days? Well today was my turn...
Got to the DMV with my bike on the trailer as required this AM. Went in and took a number.... OK my turn. I present my learner's permit, driver's license and insurance card... oops, the insurance card doesn't show my bike... no problem I say - I have it here on my phone - they watch as I pull it up. "We can't take that"... dammit. OK, crap, I'm thinking I have to drive 40 minutes back home - but wait! The land bank where I do business is in town - OK, so I drive there. They've moved... I look the new address up on the GPS - nope. Call em - OK they're on the other side of town - go there. They fix me up - I email the card to them and they print it. GTG
Get back to the DMV - 11:15 - take a number... OK I'm up - show them the card - "can we take dis?" the gal helping me asks a coworker... "hmm not sure" - well OK. They can do... but wait! I can't do the "roll test" right now - they don't do it between 11:00 and 1:00. OK "must not be my day" I say and "I guess I'll go get some lunch..." so I do. Chinese buffet - ate too much - still only 12:15 - so I go to the outdoor shop near the DMV and browse for a while and manage not to buy a gun - OK enough time - go to the DMV.
The gal that was helping me earlier is standing in the back lot where I park. "Go ahead and take if off the trailer" she says... OK, so I do. She walks up and says "you have the inspection sticker?" Oh yes, right here in my wallet - and I show her. OK then "we need to do the inspection now", so I step back and look at her. She says "you have to be on it" - OK, so I mount the bike - and she tells me to honk the horn, turn signals, etc. = OK that's done. "Drive down the street and come back, if you make it back, you pass" - lol I'm thinking "you're kidding" - but I do it and come back.
She says "go on in I told them you passed" .... I go in, take a number.... my turn! OK - give them the stuff again and they ask me if I brought the bike on a trailer... "yes" I say. "Go take it off" - I say "What?" - they didn't know that I just took the "roll test" - so I tell them - the other lady (not present) gave me the test and I passed. They say "OK" and start doing the processing. The lady that did the test comes in and I say "that's her officer - that's the lady that tested me" - they chuckle. Then, I'm sitting there waiting and the lady doing the work says "did the motorcycle go up?" to her coworker.... "what?" -they fool around with the computer for several minutes and they get it figured out - $16, not $26 OK I pay.
Then I get my mug shot "hope you're camera is strong" I say - they chuckle, and I go sit and wait for the new license to come out - and it does! Picture looks like hell.
Easy as pie! Only 3 hours :lol:
