So went to vtnz today so they said bring v50 in tomorrow and they make sure it a moped, and yeah re rego $131.00 for live reg new plate and six months reg, he said they just make sure it's 50cc or under and that's all, so will take in tomorrow lunch, also took the carrier off tonight will bin the front guard as soon as reged, also were best place to get new front headlight bulb?? Only thing that doesn't work.

I like this kind of idea, but don't expect others to do so, as I like the idea of a light and breezy front and almost aeroplane tailfinning the rear end which is like a parody of the 60's choppers with big tall seats for two. Sorry if I've been far too liberal with what you've got and done, which I incidentally really like... but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
