My original post was written to get moped riders to look at legalitites
and where they they stood with the law and their moped operation. If
you are going to break the laws,at least know them and that they do
exisit .You may just meet a lawman or judge who does know them,and
that is your problem.Please don't make it look as all moped riders are
rotten,just because a few are. TOM K
MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED DAY,AND EVERY DAY.
