Steve I heard something about this two or three years ago , but then it was no more but the ones that were already in existence did not have a problem and they were also trying to outlaw trikes made from VW chassis.

However I agree with Bill & Robb that the legislature is good starting point. Once i get more info I will try to draft a sample letter that everyone can copy & paste to their particular rep.

I didn't have time to completely pursue it. I think if we had that info it would be a good starting point to start protesting it.

I thought there wouldn't be anything to it when it first came out also, however now there are 'real' problems and pushback from DMV. The Manx club is contacting Bruce Myers and I will let you all know if and when we come up with anything.

I think it has less "traction" than it appears at face value. As always dealing with less knowledgable State employees is the real challenge.

In some cases they have asked the owner to surrender the title. The code was revised to prevent truly off road vehicles such as the Rhino Yamaha etc. from getting tagged and driven on the streets. >> >> In the spirit of Martin Niemoller, we as a group should join the fight against these denials. If there are any attorneys, activists, concerned VW owners, etc. that can give support, advice, etc. please contact me.
