Mississippi treats a MB as a motorcycle... and everybody working for the state gov't will tell you that you cannot register a motorized bicycle as a motorcycle, even a custom-built one. They just don't know, and it's prolly not worth the trouble trying to register it with people who don't know anything about their job.
I don't think any cop around here would actually enforce any motorcycle laws (reg, ins, etc.), tho, other than the safety ones like helmet and headlight. Even a regular bicycle is mandated to have a headlight visible from 500 feet away, but I'm the only bicyclist around here who actually has one.
And just so everybody knows... riding a MB at night without a decent headlight is friggin' st00pit. If you don't learn from others' mistakes, you will learn after you're picking dirt outta your skin, break some bones, bust your lip... somethin'. See and be seen!! ... or stay inside.
