This summer I'm taking my motorized bike cross country. From Empire State building to the Golden Gate Bridge.
I've read through the legal information on:
http://moped2.org/mstates.htm
The 13 states I'm going through are.
-New York
-New Jersey
-Pennsylvania
-West Virginia
-Ohio
-Indiana
-Illinois
-Missouri
-Kansas
-Colorado
-Utah
-Nevada
-California
Consider that the time spent in either New York, New Jersey and West Virginia will be relatively negligible. I'll be out of New Jersey at the end of day 1 even if I pedal, and West Virginia is about 5 miles wide where I'm crossing it.
The question is; I live in New York, I cannot get it registered, or insured here, which is a major commonality on laws through a good number of these states. I intend to have headlight, tail-light, turn signals, mirror, full helmet, ect. I have a valid license in NY, should I worry too much about the lack of insurance and registration in other states?
I mean, I'm quite good at talking my way out of situations, but I'm wondering if I should get this thing registered in another state just to have a plate on it to avoid a hassle.
Also, has anyone on here had run in's with the law that went beyond a fine?
If anyone has answers, or even questions feel free to ask 'em.
