hello peeps,
i figured newbies (like me) in motorcycling (or any other vehicles) are wondering what does certifying a bike entails? besides the common generic answer of 'to ensure that the bike is safe for the road/to be ridden.' could we provide details as to what is done and what the process involves?
ie, what's checked? who can certify a bike? is it required (insurance or registration etc), how are things checked? what to do after? what happens after? (do you get an actual piece of paper, a certificate, saying it passed the inspection?), expiry date for the cert? how is this process different from having the bike serviced by your local dealer (ie: specific maintenance like oil change=dealer service? or overall maintence?=safety?), cost? how long it takes? etc etc.
maybe this can be a sticky too if deemed worthwhile. thanks in advance for all informative inputs.
