Do you have a date set for the CT Rally? I'll have to check my schedule once you do. I'd love to come up for it.

That would probably work for me. It's still pretty cold up there in early May if I remember right(I use to live near New Haven). But that won't keep me away.

Couple Q's

Legality in CT???

I'm in WNY pretty sure I could squeeze this thing into my trunk w/seats folded down???

If my bike does about 20-25mph, to slow for you guy's?

Keep me posted!!!

If I've got no brain to protect, do you think they'll make special exception for the helmet law?

Marty - Motorbicycles@yahoo.com

Howdy Marty. Delaware has a law where you have to have a helmit with you, but do not have to be wearing it. (I was told last yr) CT is pretty gracious about and to MBs. No helmet law over 16. A MB is legally considered a bicycle with a helper motor under 30 MPH and under 50cc.

For transporting my MBs, I bought a bike rack at a church sale. It straps on to the trunk of a sedan or back of an SUV. Works great and cost $5. I also bought a fancy one for around 40. Is funny to look in the rear view and see folks staring and wondering. Some times they pull up next to me and ask the usual questions.

See ya at the rallys!

Marty, Dan got it right about the helmet law in Delaware. It's strange, but true. You need not wear it, but it has to be displayed while riding. As far as CT is concerned, I wasn't aware of the helmet laws, but as I wear a brain bucket all the time while riding the Whizzer, I hadn't looked into it. Regarding the 20-25mph speed, we won't leave you behind. Even a Whizzer (well, at least mine anyway) is happy cruising at that speed.
Regarding carrying the bike, one thing I learned about trying to carry one on its side is it's real easy to either have fuel leak or dent your tank. I had tried it once, and to get the bike into the back of the car I had to loosen the gooseneck and turn the handlebars parallel to the wheel. Unfortunately, while loading the bike, the handlebars contacted the tank and left a nice dent in it. Anyone who has seen my Western Flyer (with 48cc GruBee) has seen the dent.
The rear rack is a good choice, but make sure it's substantial enough to carry the weight of your bike(s). Mine will hold either of my 2-cycle engined bikes (the '46 Columbia or the Western Flyer), but it's not strong enough for the 100lb Whizzer.

Cool, Thanks for the help and guidance guys! I was only being a wise guy with the no brain question. Looks like you guys had a good time out there last year! Thanks for the pics!

As time gets closer I'll have to keep an eye for this thread to come to the top again. I lead life mostly spur of the moment because of my job delivering pizzas. If it's possible for me to make it, count on me being there.

I also mannaged to get some e-mail addresses from the guy's (in NY) on this board and the other board. I'll send them a link to this thread! Thanks guy's

The brain joke cracked me up. Well actually, made me think about why I don't wear one, snork. (Always wear all recommended safety gear kids!)

When I built my first MB, I was delivering pizzas. Not a bad gig for easy cash. I have always wanted to build a MB designed around food delivery. A gps mount on the handle bars. Pizza rack like a rear book rack, saddle bags and front basket for bagged goods. The saddle bags more like baskets with a sign for the restaurant. Free advertising for them. I plan to build MB using a felt Heritage. That will look cool and hope an easy sell.

First call I am going to make is a pizza place in Mystic, oddly enough called "Mystic Pizza" But is a small touristy town and think I could sell them on the idea.
I was an extra in the movie "Mystic Pizza" (played a drunk fisherman)
