Don't be in a hurry W.VA. Your state isn't really yet. Ya all got part timers working your legislating process. Ha ha.
I'm not too worried about this to be honest. (nothing compared to gas on wrong side). What I would do, is just get my motorcycle license. Might be a neat adventure at that. And as far as the helmet thing, I would buy one to put in the back seat. But unless cops really do pull me over for not wearing one (which I doubt they would), wouldn't really wear it. However, even though I'll still buy the Elio, I can see this roadblock stopping quite a few fellow WVers.

I wouldn't wear a helmet either if I had the seat belt on. Dangerous and might break your neck. Or not wear your seat belt... Which ticket costs more in WV?

My first thought...Get you windows tinted, then it won't be obvious that your not wearing a helmet. My second thought...Who am I kidding, we ARE going to get pulled over anyway, just so each officer can have an "upclose" look!
I know that I won't be the first one in my area to get one. If you are the first, it might be a good idea, to drive it to your local police station so they can ALL get a good look, and you get to know the officers on "friendly terms". After that, I don't think the helmet issue would ever come up. :yo:

It's your lucky day, outsydthebox! I happen to be good friends with a Mumbai Prince that would be glad to pay for your Elio in order to transfer his fortune to a US bank account. All I need is a 'refundable' $500 deposit from you to verify your bank account and routing numbers and I'll have him wire $10k to your account. The extra $3.2k is to cover your Elio shipping and your choice of options. No proof of age is required...I trust you. ;):rolleyes:

Whoa!! Quit trying to horn in on my deal!! I am getting $20k wired in.

61 in February, hope to pick up my Elio in Shreveport by 62nd birthday. My Dad was a motorcyclist, and had me riding mini bikes around age 8, racing dirt bikes by age 12, and at my house today we have a Yamaha Royal Star Venture (wife and I when riding 2-up), Yamaha V-Max (son), Honda Gold Wing (wife), and Honda Valkyrie (me solo). I was injured in an unscheduled landing of a CH-53 in Iraq in 2002, ending my military career. My Honda Valkyrie and my Toyota Prius have "Disabled Veteran" license tags on them. I walk funny, but when on a motorcycle I don't limp at all. Some days I just can't handle 2 wheels, so the Elio will be a welcome addition to our garage and barn.

Thank you for your service to our country. I have just start research on the repair and Maint of the CH53 rotor blade.

I vacillate between REALLY wanting one now and losing some interest due to the frustration of waiting .

Speaking strictly from my Psychologist Platform, psychologists speak from averages and empirical data; seldom from personal narrative. Psychologists also do not have mirrors and cannot look at themselves. I cannot understand why I am so anxiously waiting for my Elio. I have never waited with more anticipation even as the delivery goes Southward. I wait with unwavering anticipation. I read the forum almost daily and I realize that others are just like me. When I was younger, I would have stated that we have to fix this and do something. But now, I just wait. I relish every improvement, every test, every repeated announcement. I think I am a true believer in a better transportation system and product. Viva la Elio!!
