Re: ZB's on the street forever!!

I've gotten pulled over a couple times just so cops can check that it's really street legal. I just show them the papers and it's off I go. Tmas, yup it's downtown, it's fun zipping around lane splitting (though it's super illegal here. haha)

If you own a street legal ZB50 getting pulled over is a common occurence over the summer months.
So far this summer I have been pulled over 4 times for no reason.
The cops check your papers and there is not really much they can do.

Re: ZB's on the street forever!!

Strange angle on the numberplate, are you not afraid of the tire catching the plate?

Re: ZB's on the street forever!!

That's what's causing the strange angle. The rear wheel's been banging it. I've revised the way the license plate hangs so it doesn't do that much anymore.
