go to salem to whoever is in charge, the local offices told me i would
never get my go 4 licenced. i did. what i had a photograph of the dash
plate issued to most vehicles stamped describing the vehicle as a
motorcycle, imported as such and so on. i bought mine from the city of
ashland on an auction   but the city never registered it as a motorcycle,
instead they called it a golf cart...  so it had to be changed back to a
motorcycle . which is what is was imported to be .  i dont know about the
truckster, or how simular it is to the go4.  maybe this helps   phil
