[Silly Little Cars] SLC vs. Calif. DMV

[Jonathan Seutter]

Go get a copy of the Calif Veh Code and look up the definition.  Many VW trikes have bucket seats and doors and are motorcycles.

CVC is your friend - make copies of related sections.  Reference all the depts that use Go-4's as parking control, and register and insure them as motorcycles.

My Go-4 is a motorcycle.  A Bajaj Auto Rickshaw is a motorcycle.

ps My Go-4 is Rego'd in Calif.

Having huge problem w/ DMV re: my Cushman ex-Meter Maid. Have any of you had any experience with this? 
1 hour at counter last time/2 hrs today. They insist it has to be reg as a Commercial Vehicle cuz it has open bed(not really-its standard
Meter  Maid config) Of course as a Comm Veh it needs to be smogged..Says 'motorcycle' on emission label so Smog Shop sez he cant smog it.
DMV's solution is go to Referee & get Exemption.....Vehicle has been verified by CHP and DMV, and all MVSS labels are in place identifying it as "Motorcycle"
DMV Manager sez cuz you dont straddle the seat, and its enclosed, its not a MC.. Got any good ideas? Maybe there's an 'ombudsman' out there that will get it done for a fee?? I'd gladly pay!!
