By no means king of the road

When I first got my motorcycle, I got it inspected by Fat Walter on Staten Island.  Fat Walter looked at the bike, turned on the turning signals, and then handed me an inspection sticker.  So I didn't know what to expect when I brought it in to the New Jersey inspection station yesterday.
 
A young guy came out and said, "Nice bike.  I have the same engine but I ride a custom bike.  It's a Thunder Mountain.  Put on those turn signals for me and hit the horn."  I complied, and he handed me a sticker. 
 
I am pretty sure I can get a tricycle to pass as a motorcycle as long as it has turn signals.
