i think your gonna run into trouble in NY when they ask you for a VIN# which i don,t think FL requires ( i could be wrong ).......as for the bikes all i can say is if i,m a cop and i see the moped i,m gonna let it go but if io see a golfcart i,m gonna throw the lights on and pull you over...................just my opinion now but i do beleive the cops are gonna play it safe and let the courts work it out............problem is all the time and money its gonna cost you in the meantime.............................
