Good Morning Forum,
I am heading to DMV at 10am to meet with the Vin inspector. Since my pops had his 3 wheel HyBird 1 registered as Special Construction vehicle through DMV and CHP. It was approved as a car and not a motorcycle. Never had any issues ever regarding helmet. Until I moved to Orange County. I was pulled over 4x for no helmet. I fought the tickets every time and won. Because I just had to show judge registration and the CAR plate. I told the last bike your wasting your time, your going to lose in court. He lost, but he took it a step further. He had DMV pull my registration. Making me get a vin inspection and inspection of my dad's HyBird1. Does it have 3 wheels yes. But I did my research. And found out my dad also did his homework. It has a completely enclosed body. It's over 10 feet long. It has a windshield. It is over 4 feet wide. So even in the State of California this qualifies as a car and not a trike even with 3 wheels. Very excited to present my evidence to CHP and get this resolved. My dad was given a special Construction vin number. But doesn't the vin number below shifter stay with the VW regardless of modifications?
