I ran across Canada with 1989 Chev long box truck pulling a 15 foot camper also loaded with my CB750 and two bicycles.  I did have a few major repairs but the repairs were needed and the truck travel 10270 Km. Great vacation :)

Colorado used to have a similar law for pre-1980s cars. Then they just repealed it one day. That cost me my 1979 Fairmont station wagon, the most-useful car I ever owned. It had 450k miles on it then, heading for 500k, worked perfectly except for the air conditioner (couldn't find repair parts for its compressor!).
:(
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
