i actually like the v mount better.its a grey area in canada=laws .so i go undercover.i have to go to the city center in my area and theres alot of cops on bikes and standing around in the mornings here. so im better off being unheard and unseen.i was getting a coffee one morning and had 2 bike cops asking me how heavy my bike was?i said about 60 lbs.they both laughed and said you must have powerful legs,i said i have a trick for that!i cover the motor with mesh,it even has a handle on it you cant detect that i have a motor.i use my 80cc frame mount for the trans canada trail here mostly off road but fun.its all mntns here so hardened crankshaft keyways are needed.ive eaten a few up.im thinking of getting a qurve bicycle from spooky tooth cycles,i like the aesthetics of the frame.do you know anyone who has one of these?im probably in the wrong area for babblin ooops
Hi Beast.
I'm across thr strait in Surrey(Newton).I agree the law is totaly grey on these motorized bikes.
I built my first about a year ago and got pulled over several times by the rcmp but they seemed more curious than anything.
I ride mine everyday as my only source of transportation. I don't even insure my truck anymore.
The local police are used to seeing me now and not one of them has a problem with my bike, although you cant miss the fact it has an engine.
I've encountered two road blocks and got smiles and waved on through at both of them.
The Delta city police dont seem to have a problem with it iether as ive talked to a couple of them also while riding.
I don't try to hide it as I feel I would be insulting their intelligence and give them a reason to have a problem.
My biggest concern about getting shut down is the D.O.T.'s(department of transportation)although there main concern is commercial traffic
I"M SURE THAY HAVE THE JURISDICTION TO Park me on the spot if they were so inclined but luckily haven"t ran into one yet that was having a bad day> lol
i might add i always wear a helmet< i use a red flashing light both front and back and i dont ride like an idiot>(running lights< zipping in and out of traffic<etc>)although I will pull into the inside lane and pass cars just because I can!!!
maybe things are different in victoria though but no probs here bud
