It should say, "Ride-in motorcycle & tow-in trailer inspections."

Quite by design. Everyone know that an EB is the fastest color.

To me the sign is correct, why be redundant and state "ride in" or "tow in" I am sure any one with a motorcycle or trailer needing an inspection knows they do not need an appointment per that sign and how they will get it there. Oh, and yes Blue is the fastest color!

How can you walk in with a motorcycle or trailer?

I s'pose... maybe... I'm no authority on grammer, that's for sure but it just struck me funny as all get out. Still does.

My pea brain would ride a bike in or tow a trailer in. <shrug>

Actually, when I need new shoes I *may* think about a switch. Not really sure what I'd put on it though and at least they're not wagon wheels.
