I agree with wiguy05, but this is the way the law reads for michigan riders.wiguy05 wrote:

A person operating a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, low-speed vehicle, or moped upon a roadway shall ride as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable, exercising due care when passing a standing vehicle or one proceeding in the same direction.

Sure, Open Carry is perfectly legal in the vast majority of states, 46 if memory serves. Here in Washington it is completely legal and no license is required. You just need to be legal to own the firearm. This is what I normally carry. A Taurus Model 425, 5 shot revolver with a ported 4" barrel in 41 Maganum. Point of reference, the bullet holding the gun up is a 50 BMG round.jlynn433 wrote:lmfao do u for real?Bear45-70 wrote:Never happened to me, but then I carry a a large handgun on my right hip out in the open for all to see.jlynn433 wrote:and then when youre going down the road and you get the occasional * hole that passes u with his window down calling u a * n stuff for riding a scooter........ or the ones that just lay on the horn till u pull over
I sometimes carry this. Ruger Redhawk with 7" barrel and Firesights, also in 41 Magnum.

Re: Am I the only one that finds this annoying?
That's normally is on a extra wide road it could be 2lanes each way. Think were suppose to stay to the right. I normally will if can't do the speed limit of the road. No need to * off people behind me.
And I need both shoulders replaced and the way you sit/ride on them just kills me! Bringing arms up halfway hurts so blah holding off on the surgerys for the replacement till just can't take it anymore. Doc said about 3-4 days in hospital after surgery and should be recovered in about a yr then do the other an same thing. Problem though they only last like 10yrs and only 26

Black 85 Spree-SOLD
Red 87 Spree... Ended up buying the same one mentioned below.
I started riding my uncle's 87 Spree at the drag strip when I was 8...
It's easier to stop caring three years ago than it is to fix it in present time.

I think having a faster scooter is actually less dangerous that having a slow one, if it is used on public roads.

Top speed is useless in traffic if you take off like a snail.

Re: Am I the only one that finds this annoying?
Bear .45-70 i would laugh if i saw someone riding a scooter carrying that joker barrel ruger....Then speed away because i know id have enough time to get away before you unholstered that giant gun for me laughing at you. But on a serious note i love ruger revolvers.
Bright lights put me in a dance But it aint house music makes me wanna dance

So your rig is faster the 1400 feet per second? I doubt that very much.DeathByFox wrote:Bear .45-70 i would laugh if i saw someone riding a scooter carrying that joker barrel ruger....Then speed away because i know id have enough time to get away before you unholstered that giant gun for me laughing at you.
