Should have used pressure treated so it wouldn’t rot.

This is so ■■■■■■I wonder if it isn’t a joke.
Joke? Or used for lightweightrailer on a farm? When I do this the grain is vertical.

Here in Virginia, you must be at least 16, have a government-issued ID, and wear a DOT-approved helmet and eye protection when riding a Moped. Mopeds, defined as two-wheeled vehicles with engines 50cc or less and a top speed under 35 mph, must be titled, registered, and have a license plate.
However, the law has not kept up with the advent of e-vehicles and our country Sherriff is powerless to do anything about the underage drivers or the lack of safety gear as the law only applies to Mopeds…
