Ha that's a great idea.

And for what its worth, here in California we have to drive our new Cushes
to the DMV to show them that little plaque that says "THIS VEHICLE IS A
MOTORCYCLE". If you don't have that plaque, you might want to get one from
another Cushman... I remember when they did the inspection on one of mine,
there was a little box on the form that they had to check describing how
the plaque was affixed. One of the options was "rivets", as if no one could
possibly attach something with rivets themself. So if all else fails,
attach one of those plaques with rivets and call it a day.
