This might ought to be in the legal section, but Im not sure a lot of people venture there.
The laws in my state of Ga. are pretty gracious about the use of MBs. But one thing that trips us up, is the use of a manual clutch(ie. non automatic) is illegal. This would include all of the non-auto China girls, FDs like mine with a lift clutch, etc. Basically anything you cant twist and go. I have never been stopped, and have passed many of the Locals, so dont se as a big issue. But as more and more MBs show up the Locals might be a little more picky looking for revenue. The bad thing in Ga. any way if caught out side the law, you are immediately guilty of riding an unregistered, uninsured(BIG deal in Ga., jail, impound) vehicle if the cop wants to push it. Seems most dont, but can legally.
This clutching law is applied in other states also, might want to check, and have a good explanation for what that "other" lever does.
