So. I'm heading back into pagosa springs and a police officer pulls me over. He asks do you know where you can take that thing (the moped) I say yes. Anywhere except, interstates, and divided 4lane highways, as long as I have a helmet and a drivers licenses and don't go over 35 mph because it is a motorized scooter with an engine smaller than 50ccs. He says yes and you can't be on highways with a speed limit of 65 or higher and this hwy is 65mph. I say I researched the laws I didn't see that part. He says yep. So I say well, what's the solution to my problem? He says I have to let you ride home. I say ok, I live in kansas. Then he says let me show you the law give me a few minutes. He is in his car for 10 minutes. Shuffling through a blue book, then he comes out to me and shuffles through his book. A big blue book (apparently they have a whole shelf like 6ft long full of these books, (I questioned him as he shuffled to help him)) then he goes back to his car (passenger side for some reason unknown to me then 10 minutes later he goes ah there it is, let me read it to you, so he comes over again and starts reading from the top. Then he gets to the bottom. Then he says oh, that is for low power electric scooters. Then he says your right. (yes he didz, yes he didz). Then he points out that I have to register it, and I glance at it and it says within 60 days, and I point that out and say I've had it for a month and I'm leaving the state tomorrow. Then he says well I pulled you over because you don't have it registered. And I said I've had it for a month, and he says you can go, and he sped off with his tail between his legs.
