....what are they nit picky about when it comes to our Ruckus's?

Lowered seats?

Different headlights?

Relocated plates?

Location of inspection sticker?

Blinkers? (I believe it's legal to NOT have blinkers)

What have you been pulled over for?

Never really get messed with down here. I roll with no blinkers, no inspection, tags out of date, you name it. Only time I got pulled over I was going the wrong way down a one way street to sneak to a parking spot. If you are still GET then speedings not really an issue, lots of roads are 45 mph anyways.

Just don't do anything stupid, use your better judgement and WEAR A HELMET.

sticker should be visible when they ask to see it. and you should definitely have blinkers, you actually need them to pass an inspection.

Pretty much the worst advice ever. You should have everything up to date. Sure, you don't really get messed with while riding on scooters, but that time you do get stopped and the cop is in a dick mood you'll get ticketed for no inspection, registration, insurance, M endorsement on license. Better safe than sorry.

its just like a car man...

make sure your lights are visible

inspection is up to date

registration

GET A "M" CLASS LICENSE

dont drive like an idiot

that should be about it... i have been followed a couple times, but i believe they just wanted to check the bike out.

i have my license plate in a "sorta" visible spot....

I got pulled over recently because they didn't know what kind of bike it was. They were feeding me bulkshit while they ran the plates and found my registration was out of date. That's a $120 ticket.

Make sure your shit is up to date
Don't drive stupid.
Definitely have blinkers, they'll pull you over for that

ya no registration and no license are not fun tickets. at least get your paperwork up to date. i had one guy try and tell me my taillights had to be 40 something inches off the ground. i'm not even sure my cars are that tall...i told him i'd look into it. lol
