"the man" should'nt have dropped out.
this is a continuation to my previous post about ASU being bastards about ticketing scooters all of a sudden to squeeze every last dime from its students pockets.
Threats lose their impact when it appears as though their 7 year old child wrote them. i got a laugh out of them today and again, ignored it.

- funny to me that a college would issue some lame threat with such a blatant error

Are they calling your Buddy a "motorcycle", or are they (maybe) targeting motorcyclists and (hopefully) ignoring your scooter?
Sorry to hear about the crackdown on 2-wheelers, though. Weird that the wording is "I will have it towed" and there's nothing (sign, letterhead) to signify that it's from ASU. Do they usually do things like that there? Looks like a pissed-off student might have put that up.

What a bunch of jerks. It doesn't surprise me, though.
Was the punctuation error in your subject line a joke? Or irony?

What size is your Buddy? According to the ASU website 50cc does not need a permit.
f. Motorcycle. Motorcycles over 50cc must display a valid motorcycle or conversion permit. Conversion permit hangers must be retained from year to year to be reused. Conversion hangers cost an additional $5. Motorcycles under 50cc are not authorized for use on public streets. This type of motorcycle must use bicycle lanes and park in bike racks on Campus.

Call me crazy, but why not just pay for the motorcycle permit and be done with it. Yeah, $200 bucks is outrageous, but if they tow your scoot, you'll likely pay more than that to get it back. Even if the tow is improper, they will still want you to pay for it. you could always sue to get the money back, but that will cost you even MORE money.
Colleges have been screwing students on this kind of stuff for decades. Sometimes it's a lot easier to just play by the rules and avoid the stress. Think of it this way, you'll be saving a ton on parking tickets and other revenue streams the campus cops put on kids with cars.

Why work that hard - why not just find the same font as that sign, and get a blank sheet of paper to print out something like "This scooter can park anywhere it wants" and tape that to the scootweaseltamer wrote:i recommend you find the page of university policy that states you *can* park there (the part about under 50cc vehicles) and tape that to your scoot yourself.

See if you went to U of A you wouldn’t have that problem lol. JK parking and transportation can be a whole bunch of jerks... Trust me I am a student worker here at U of A. Seems like all they won’t is money because they are self sufficient and don’t receive funding from the school. I have a 125 so I had to get a permit but ours is only 90 bucks.

How about a giant Sun Devil decal on the front of the legshield? Maybe you can appeal to their school pride. You could even do it as a window cling so it'll peel on and off.
