you cant register in america!
that depends...



In Michigan you can register any 50 with a clean VIN, BOS and $15. Just forge yourself a BOS(*, if you want you can even have a friend "give" it to you), bring it to the SOS, slap it down along with $15 and your good to go!

Lemme take that back, jump through some hoops and a safety inspection and you can seriously register/title ANYTHING in Michigan. No VIN=custom vehicle.

Thanks Kenny,
If one becomes creative, I'm sure registering the scoot will be no problem.

True for any state, just gets more difficult as the hippie concentration gets stronger.

its a directly proportionate relationship, the amount of resistance to doing anything remotely fun, to the hippie concentration...* hippies

You guys have no clue what real hippies were like or even the old hippies that still inhabit this earth. :roll: As to the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, I don't even go there anymore for any reason. The morons have control of that place and they discarded logic years ago.

those motocompos were only available as an option in the honda early 90's electric car. It came in the trunk of the car, only in japanese models, and only for 2 years. Remember the electric honda car that came out sometime in 91-93? It looked like a teardrop shape, flat aluminum rims, fender skirts over back wheels? Hold on let me try to find a picture of one.....

Hi. I have a motocompo I'm refurbishing. Does anyone know the specs for the type and amount of gear oil to put in the crankcase? Unfortunately the manual is in Japanese. Thanks.
