LAW IN MN - Did you know that?

Cool, sounds as if your police and courts aren't quite as rabid as here. Glad to hear that. Nobody wants a bunch of drunks causing carnage and mayhem, but nobody wants peoples lives destroyed for something minor either.

Buzzed

Actually, in most states pedalling home would be a bad idea. You can get a DUI on a bicycle....or horse......or lawn mower etc etc. Dumb...yeah. About 3 years ago a friend and his wife went out and got a bit too tipsy. They decided to walk home about 6 blocks. The police were watching their car, and after they had walked about 2 blocks past it, they were arrested.....for DUI. The justification was that they left the keys in the car, and *get this* they *could have walked back and picked it up after they went home*. Not only that....it stuck. Now that's dumb.

In the buzzed situation i dont go anywhere, or use the manual bike if transportation is needed. I get the riding out of my system,before the alchol enters my system.

As i understand it. Any small moped, motorbike, motorskooter that is going under 30mph and not in a lane but driven on right side like a bicycle is not required to be registered like a motorcycle.
The motor size is of little concern.
Operate it like a home built and rightly so.
Motors dont have the cc size on them so how can a cop know the size.
Always where a helmet and face cover. Stop at stop lights and signs and pedestrians. Drive carefully and respectfully and without fear.
