Maryland Excessive Title Fee For Motorcycles / Scooters

As we all already know Maryland is not a motorcycle / scooter friendly state. It costs $97.00 to title a motor scooter that is over 49 cc or a motorcycle. In PA the title fee is under 25.00 and the tag fee is 18.00 compared to Maryland’s 100.00   registration fee.  They are also requiring 50 cc scooters to be titled and a decal be bought and stuck on the back (kind of like a plate) in Maryland. Scooters are the poor man’s transportation until now. According to a article published in the Maryland Gazette the new law regulating 50 cc scooters will go into effect October 1st of this year. The bill’s chief sponsor was Pam Beidle (D) Linthicum. She is also a nationwide insurance agent. Nationwide insurance Mid-Atlantic Region also gave lawmakers the analysis of the bill! What can you do about this?
1)   Boycott nationwide insurance co. (when you cancel tell them it’s in repose to Pam Beidle and nationwide involvement in creating the new MD scooter law.
2)   Share this info with friends, family etc.
3)   Contact Gov O’malley and let him know we won’t stand for this.
4)   Rally at the capital on September 28, 2012 Hosted by the Regulators Scooter Club. Meet up will be @ Charm City Scooters 10 a.m. and will end at the Maryland state house. This will be the Protest site.
5)   Make signs to voice your opinion! The bigger the better!
6)   Email Fox 45 and other local news radio agencies and let them know we will not stand for excessive fees and regulations!

I have both pirelli diablo tires on the bike the look great and handle even better. On the back I had to go with a size other then the original so I went with a 140/70/14 and that is huge compared to the stock tire ( wider and taller). This tire is such a big difference I had to remove my fender. I think the bile looks 10X better . On the ron the is a 120/70/14. No more vibrations at high speeds! The scooter also sits up higher so you can lean more in the turns with out scraping. I smply love this tire set!

The Diablo's are nice even though I only have the front tire on so far. I ordered them and 2 front tires showed uo si I sebt the ibe from tge rear back.They dont make thre stock pirekki duablo size 120/180 /14 so I ordered I49/80/14, Cornering is much easier buy I will write a filll feveiw anfyer I get noth on

Hey I bought parts forthe super 9 ac for my super 8 here is a link to the variator that will work http://www.provoscooter.com/scooters/kymco/kymco-super-9-50-ac/malossi-multivar-variator-kymco-50cc-2t.html I got my exhaust from moped hospital racing here is the link to that http://www.mhr-usa.com/tecnigas-performance-scooter-exhaust/next-r-chrome/tecnigas-next-r-for-kymco-cobra-yup-vitality-50.html provo has the same one

I seen a universal on that you wrap the wire from the tach around the spark plug wire. My freind uses on and it seems to work well for him. he has on thats digital. I would think they shoud work well after all some car tachs work off the coil

First off enthanol is more expensive to make then gas, ever think that could be a factor in the gas prices? Ethanol create less energy then gas and burns faster! Maybe if we were sould plan gas we would get better milage? Ethanol is corosive! That is a fact! If it isn't go by straight ethanol and fill you scooter with it and let me know what happens. Hahahaha! I read all about e 85 when they were first studying it to see if it could replace gas. They had to coat everything with teflon gass lines ect so they wouldn't corrode. Ethnol mixed gas burns hotter also. Ethnol makes the gas oxygenated which can damage older cars trucks 2 stroke engines ect. Oxygenated gas also has been the cause of water contaminated gas. The small benifit of oxygenated gas odes no out way the damage, it drives up gas prices, causes the consumer to get worse milage and damage to engines. I have a 2 stroke scooter and ethanol gas is really bad for it and causes it to run hotter and it will do the same for all air cooled motors. I have found a place in my area that sells non oxygenated racing fuel. The price of that fuel cost more (around $7 a gallon) but the pay of is increased milage, cooler running engine, increased compression, and longer engine life. Is it worth it? I say yes! The one reason I come up with why the government is putting ethnol in gas is to benifit the farmer. after all thats where ethanol begins life!

Hey I own a super 8 2t and I found a lot of the parts for other kymco 2t bikes fit. I got my technigas next r exhaust from moped hospital racing. I bought my malossi variator kevelar belt cluch springs, and arreche carb and jets from provoscooter.com. Also scooter parts racing planet has a lot of hard to find parts too. Currently my bike tops out a 45 mph. Look for parts that fit the super 9 ac or cobra. A lot of those parts will say all kymco 2t's. I'm pretty sure kymco didn't design a new engine for each bike and there all pretty much the same.

I agree zombie! very nice pipe!
