Yeah ... passed emissions test
Normally this is a routine no big deal event. But this year was different because (I'm embarrassed to say) I have not rode the bike since May. That's 4 months without riding; an eternity for someone who normally rides 12 months of the year. Was not planning to be away from it that long, so other than some additive in the gas no prep for storage was performed. Other than needing to do a quick charge on the battery it started without any problems (other than having to use full choke in 97 degF weather). Sputtered a little at first but smoothed out and away I went to the emissions test station ... expecting it to fail.
It passed, and I didn't even fall down while riding it
(another plus after not riding for so long).
So with emissions done the bike is registered to ride for another year. Good thing too since the registration is due in September and September is almost over (ok, so I may have procrastinated a little).
I think I'll take the bike on a Mt. Lemmon ride tomorrow and blow the remaining cobwebs out of it before it goes in for it's 26K mile maintenance (valve clearance adjustment, etc ...)

The only downside is the damage from this year's monsoon rains. A few rockslide areas washed out the road and they are having to repair them. A couple of my favorite curves have new blacktop that is rough and bumpy (forget the full lean and speed through these now 
). One section is still one lane so you have to stop and then go when there's no oncoming traffic.
