I must admit that I was pretty steamed when I wrote the previous post.

I also admit that I was incredibly frustrated.

What I can say, without a doubt, is that MPI does not have its act together. Neither does the Manitoba Highway Act.

I can also say that the laws and restrictions on Moped class vehicles, such as 50cc scooters, is ridiculous. This is why I suggest that all Manitoba residents sign the Scootering Manitoba petition.

Please sign this.

Also, if anyone is interested in donating their MPI cheques to the fund to hire a person equipped with a brain I will accept the cash or cheque. I do not guarantee that the position will be created. I will try somewhat but I will be keeping the money anyway. Just use the paypal option at the bottom of this site.

Or you could donate money to me. Your choice. You can rest assured knowing that the money is going to a good place – The Human Brain Fund.

First off, “Fuck MPI.”

Secondly, “Fuck Insurrance Agents.”

Thirdly, “Fuck Standard Operating Procedures.”

Fourthly, my explaination.

I purchased a new Vespa LX 50. It has a 49cc engine. It is a restricted engine. It is supposed to classified as a moped for insurrance reasons. It is not a moped. It is a scooter. It is not a motorcycled. It is a scooter. But it falls in the bounds of what a “moped” is classified for insurrance reasons.

I went to transfer my insurrance from my old CPI scooter to the new Vespa and, fuck, insurrance agents and MPI are idiots. This is not necessarily through any fault of their own. Except maybe in the case of these two idiots.

Insurrance and MPI agents are idiots by design. The design of their own device. Rules, regulations, classes, codes and standard operating procedures demand that they shut off their fucking minds.

According to the MPI system the serial number for my 49cc, 50KM/hour scooter is a motorcycle. By being a motorcycle I would need to get a motorcycle license and I would have to pay more cash every year. More than double. Maybe more than triple. Maybe even more than that.

I did not like the first guy. He needed to call MPI before he could register it. He told me that he could register it as a moped but that if I need to make a claim then I would not be insured. WHAT THE FUCK?!!

So I went to another place. The girl there, at first, seemed to have half a brain and an annoying screeching “I am a Princess, damnit!” voice. She had to also call MPI. She said that if they can prove that it goes faster than 50KM/hour then it is a motorcycle, at which point if I have moped insurrance then I would not be covered.

Fuck.

Fifthly, my conclusion and decision.

MPI is sending out cheques due to a surplus in funds. When I get my cheque I will donate it to MPI. I am considering starting a fund. Anyone can contribute. This fund will create a job position at MPI which will hire one individual to work full time. The job requirements will be that the individual has at least 5 years direct contact with and use of a brain.

The job description will primarily include the promotion and instruction of the use a brain. The successful applicant will be required to setup support groups and networks of people to help each other ease their way into the thinking world.

Until that job has been created we will all continue to be fucked.
