Can you do a Morgan there and license it as a motorcycle? Maybe use
the donor engine's registration?

In NJ, three-wheelers are licensed as motorcycles. The only problem is
that you have to wear a Bell-approved helmet or you could get a
ticket. It's unlikely that you would, though.


Whaaat?
In NJ, troopers ticket you fer not washing yer car!
Or mebbe dats just NY license plates.... LOL..


Actually, our laws on "alternative" cars are pretty lax. You can drive
almost anything if it has brakes and headights. No fenders are
required; engines can be uncovered; and on and on.


MC helmets: the beginning of the Public Castration.


Pfffht. When I see a motorcyclist without a helmet, I hope he hits
something hard, to save us the trouble of keeping another vegetable
alive.


I stopped riding bikes cuz the helmets would mess up my hair. I hated that.

Also -- bike riding on a hot summer day is not much more comfortable than
riding on a cold winter day -- holy ****, do those helmets get *hot* -- ESP
in traffic....
And you need to be covered up from the sun on long rides, cuz you can really
get a helluva burn.
I don't miss bike riding at all, actually... lol

And, the point remains: safety-wise or not, the *requirement* for helmets
is the castration. Some states, afaik, still don't have helmet laws.

Oh, another tidbit: Quadriplegia, some time ago, amongst 18-25 year olds,
in CA, was almost epidemic -- not from crushed skills, but from broken necks
in mc crashes, thought to be exacerbated by the extra mass supported by the
neck. Go figger, eh?
AND their xyz-amendment rights were violated!!!! lol
