Re: Bidding on ebay

When I was a noobie on FleaBag I would bid on something well before it closed, another noobie would trump me, then I would outbid him, then he outbids me, etc., etc. and the bid price would inch up the ladder. Then when the item closed, I would click on the number of bids to see how it went and noti...

Re: Noobie

By the way, the moped displacement, speed, and lighting rules also apply to small scooters in Arkansas, as they are considered to be legally the same as mopeds. Larger and faster scooters are licensed as motorcycles with all the usual title, tags, insurance, and DL M/C indorsement requirements as an...

Re: Noobie

Arkansas does not require titles, tag, insurance, or a drivers license to operate a moped. About the only rules they have are that engine capacity is less than 50cc, speed is limited to 30mph, and it has lights. I'm not sure, but I think you have to be 14 to operate it. Although a title is not requi...

Re: Noobie

Yeah, either the guy didn't know or he figured you wouldn't know since most 50cc bikes aren't titled, so they can say any year and if you didn't know any better it might fly. My Elite was titled (I just don't remember the year) as is my Spree, Solexes, Grande, and all the other scoots, MC's, and 3 w...

Re: Noobie

Yeah, you are likely be quite right on the year. I would have to find the title (or at least the VIN off the police report) to tell what year it was. I never asked the year when I bought it, as it looked go & ran good, so didn't give a thought to the year. I have been saying all along it was an ...

Re: Noobie

No, I try to keep them original, especially the older ones which I am slowly restoring or refurbishing to look like new.

Noobie

Hello, my name is EuGene, from Clinton, AR, and the owner of 2 motorcycles, 3 3-wheelers, 3 mopeds, and 13 scooters (mostly from the '50s & ''60s), one of which happens to be a 1985 Spree. Also had an '83 Elite 50 that was stolen 3 years ago (possibly sold in the Arkadelphia or Fort Smith areas).
