So, no, you don't have to do anything special.
Just don't say no and you're good for as long as you want it.

Oh, okay, thanks for explaining that. In Ohio they don't even ask, probably don't want to hear some of the answers they'd get. lol

Great story S.t.r.a.n.g.e.r. if I'm not mistaken, you had some pics of your dad on his, or maybe your bike, some years back? Different screen name, as well, but that was a recent change.

An update to the original post...

He last rode the Sporty in August of 2021.

He died today as a result of Complications from Myocarditis.
It was the final adverse reaction to the Pfizer booster taken in April of this year.

He'll be terribly missed.
Thanks for the inspiration Dad.
