I10 thru Tucson is under construction and it's a narrow two lanes.

It could go without saying that we are both licensed for motorcycles of any displacement.<BR/><BR/>The reason we got the 49cc scooter instead of something larger was due to a misunderstanding of what displacement limit is placed on vehicles being brought into Mexico before they require a Temporary Importation Permit. We understood it to be motorcycles under 50cc; it turns out that it is "under 500cc" -- quite a difference. Now that neither of us has a motorcycle above 499cc, we only need the permit for <I>Odyssey</I>, which still has nine years left on a ten-year permit.<BR/><BR/>All of this became a big issue the first time we went to Mexico, when we both had 650s. We had to leave one motorcycle behind in the US -- you are only allowed one vehicle per licensed driver.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the fact that some states allow unendorsed riders on 49cc bikes is essentially irrelevant, since those states are few, but we need to ride our scooters everywhere. Our "home" state, Washington, does not recognize a difference; a motorcycle license is needed to ride any size scooter.<BR/><BR/>-SeanSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-14193786466515572022009-02-05T13:22:00.000-05:002009-02-05T13:22:00.000-05:00In case you aren't aware of it...In many states if...In case you aren't aware of it...<BR/><BR/>In many states if you go over the 49cc threshhold you have to have a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
