If we have to wear seat belts then cagers should have to wear helmets. (makes better sense for them than for us anyways.)

It's the same idea with riding lawn mowers vs bigger tractors, riding lawn mowers don't have seat belts because they don't have roll bars, so if you roll it you want to be able to get yourself away from the machine. But the tractors with roll bars have seat belts to hold you in the "safe" zone. Same with 2 wheel machines, you wanna be able to separate your body from the machine.

I would have to say, being placed in a coffin.. I already had a severe stroke at age 16. So this will not detour me from riding. lol

On the navy base I work, the base security requires GOLF CARTS to have seat belts fastened! Ours goes 15mph-20mph GPS VERIFIED LOL Maybe if we had a BBK in that thing and some racing gas, that thing would FLY!  I kid I kid There is a different speed regulator chip you can change out to make golf carts go faster. Well, right now my engine case has a hole with a metal bar protruding out of it, so that's preventing me from riding. Permanent stop riding? I guess if I lost a leg or an arm then I would have a harder time. Maybe if I had road rash or a scary accident I would seriously not ride for a long time. bwader, You have ware a seat belt In all 4 wheel vehiciles on All US military base's. And if I remember right max speed is 30 MPH. Not 31 & they mean it by doggie... Sorry to hear about motor malfunction. Whis you well with repair. Truly Dave Thanks for your support, On the base speed limit is 35mph and 15mph nearing the gate down to 5mph when you show your ID. On golf cart yes I got to wear a seat belt and my co-worker forgot one day and got pulled over. They were nice and just reminded him. They even have speed signs "Your Speed" its funny because one set for 25mph will blink at 26,27,28,29mph but at 30mph it will simply say "SLOW DOWN" with no numbers. DS2 is my company I work for, Defense Support Services. I'm one of 3 wastewater trainees and 7 wastewater operators in DS2. DS2 has grounds people who cut grass and various jobs like aviation mechanics and support people throughout the U.S. I'm looking at different 150cc engine kits. I emailed tech support at scrappydogscooters their "200" engine kit with oil cooler is a real 170cc. The stroke is a standard 58mm, the bore is 61mm Best price I found with shipping was with partsforscooters at $385 I'm steering away from ebay which only would be slightly cheaper. That 170cc scrappydog kit is $540 with shipping so that looks like my best bet and bang for my buck. With an oil cooler too. So I got to save for a while until I can get that kit, hopefully it won't be sold out then. |

An accident and I am done. Hopefully not a fatal one. I took this up for fun, take safety very seriously and as far as I can milk it scratch free, then I am fine with it. If, God forbid, an accident happens, then I will put aside a hobby I enjoy, but do not value it over my health so one strike and I am out.

The heck with that. If I gotta go I wanna hit a cager truck loaded with Pit Bulls and go up in a huge "Nuclur" pit bully explosion, while Bob Dylan sings some ballad about outlaw scooters, as the credits roll Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid like across the screen |
