Yes, welcome to the life of every motored biker... at least those that don't explicitly give motored bikers the freedom from regulation that we all desire.
Noticed something insidious (legality issue)

"Prove it!" is a good response. I'll have to keep it in mind. Thanks.
And as for the skate-boarding kids, I can probably make them more sorry than me if the law has to get involved; they block the road and I know they've been told to clear out before. I've never bothered them when driving through (I just go very, very slowly) because I think kids should be able to play in the streets and the autos just need to go very carefully. But I've noticed that they are forgetting to show some manners; they don't really get out of the way like they used to. I'll bet I can get the police to give them more trouble than I'm likely to get for riding a motor assisted bicycle.
Maybe if the little punk yells again I'll say "I can ride, but you can't!"
That'd be kind of fun.

Don't say that to a cop, or he will prove it when he whips out his "rules of the road" book. Just say you assumed you figured it was cool since you've already passed tons of cops.
It could prolly go both ways if you go straight by the law... so, you'd prolly be best off not starting trouble with children. They'd just get revenge one way or another.

No, I wouldn't say something like that to a cop. I'm always polite to them. And I'm sincere about it; those guys are the front-line soldiers in the war between the civilized and the un-civilized. They have my respect and my gratitude.
And I wouldn't pick a fight with a child either. Even though they can sometimes annoy me, that goes away very quickly. As far as I'm concerned they're welcome to our streets. Our automobiles are merely "guests" passing through. Now if we could only get more grownups out and about in the neighborhood.
But maybe $4.00 gasoline will do that?
