Well, I guess scooter tuning IS a crime (found out the hard way)

[50cc]

Hi, so I got cought speeding at night with my 50cc without restrictor, moded filter and exhaust, racing cdi, led lights etc. They stopped me, confiscated it immediately for technical analysis of the level of tuning and I'm charged for driving without a licence and by German laws I face 800 to 2000 EUR fee (depends on the level of tunning, I think I will get away with around 1000 EUR since it's with a standard 50cc cylinder), my licence possibly suspended for around 8 weeks and the guys at the german scooter forums say that in every case I'd have to also do around 20 hours of community service (are they serious????). The bike will be dissasemled, but not assembled back again, so I will get a bike plus a bag with engine parts.. and that's only if they don't decide to destroy it (legally they're allowed to !!! ). So yeah, whatever, just saying think twice before de-restricting if your state forbids it..
