Very sorry to hear that your scoot was swiped. I understand that it is illegal to lock your scooter or bicycle to a public structure in VA like a lamp pole or sign post. I lock my scoot to the bicycle rack when I ride to the store.

My S-I-L , who said that he'd never ride again , called me from N.H. last night & said that he was buying a used Harley. Now both of my S-I-Ls ,my Granddaughter & my cousin all are riding. The family that rides together , stays together! Irish

I bet that the Cops don't even know that it's illegal. I asked a Cop(in a Wal*Mart lot ) about eye protection (mandatory in Fla.) & he said-I don't know!- Ill have to check at the office. That was a few mos. ago but it was a simple question! Irish

Here all you need is a moped tag, thats it. No insurance or any kind of endorsement, and just be over 16? years old I think. The reason for tagging them is: 1) If you have a suspended drivers license the police can get you for operating a motor vehicle (tagged moped) now. 2) Dont run that red light with the camera! Now they know who to send the ticket to. 3) No more going bar hopping on the mopeds. Yes, I know it was dumb but it was better than taking the car! 4) Before the tag requirement mopeds were like bearer bonds. No one had actual proof that they did own their moped. 5) If you get busted going over 35mph you could get nailed for operating a "motorcycle" without a M class on your license, having no insurance on said "motorcycle" and no state inspection. I have only met one person who got the book thrown at them for going over 35mph and judging by their attitude I think I know why. I have been stopped a few times for "speeding" on a moped but have always gotten warnings.

Its ALIVE! Heres what I learned while getting this pre-bug running.The tires are OLD and NASTY but they hold air. New tires on order but I can run it for tuning as is. Headlight loom zapped me pretty good! It got smashed or was rubbing on something. Gonna patch the damaged area. Someone before me used a 3 point phillips screw driver on all the phillips head screws. Vice grips are my friend right now. So far I have $48 into it from buying a silly hard to find battery. Still excited for my Zuma rescue purchase.
