well my state changed the rules with 49cc u are to title it and insure it before u can go on the road they even give u a sticker u have to put on acts like a plate but u never pay again (cost me 360 bucks a year insurance but i am covered for everything including wrecking it or stolen )...........the cool part is the title is not reg in the system just a paper title so with a little work u can get one of the 150 cc bikes that look like a 50 cc bike and title it as a 50 cc (aslong as u do not take that seat off and show the engine u are set)
anything over 50cc is a motorcycle and all those rules apply
but since it is a modified bike frame it still falls under the cat of a bike /scooter ....jackass cop could press it but a good lawyer will get case thrown out
looking for a decent truck or el camino put a ramp and lock in use the truck when i need to use the bike for short trips
figure the truck is old u can get classic tags on it drops insurance on that and no more inspections ..............any luck starting next year i pay 2000 a year for insurance

Thanks!
there are many ways to get to many desired effects, it makes your head spin (mine too)..work with what feels good to you and your set-up.
my best results are always simplicity..KISS..keep it simple stupid.
hang dry to snap
trim
compress
rack
jar (i like to burp 2x day@30 minutes..this helps with sweat if any) boveda62.

Will work great day for about 7 days and then start cure - some dry in 3-5 days

I reduced my rack use because things dried too fast in grow 1. Grow three will have me trying bigger branches on the rack. Ultimately rack screen may be replaced with wire net to reduce flathead.
in all honesty, i use the rack sparingly because once they "snap" there is a fine line in which they will dry..once dry = no cure..you missed your shot at upping the fire..typically overnight. after the compression..overnight on the rack (maybe) then jar or just straight to jar. the bovedas also absorb as well as hydrate.
big culprit in dry room is your fan (i found)..lowest speed is best..just to get the air moving (mold)..heat's not the issue any more.
EDIT: also, my cure..burp 2x/day 30 min..instead of 1x..turns out so much better..taste, high, smoothness.

I just use my bud room to dry. fan on low dehumidifier running for 3 or 4 days in the dark. if you hang them on coat hangers it saves space hang them up the same way you would your clothes. Then I trim off the sticks and they they go into a jar for a day or two. usually they moisten up again and I put them in a paper sack for a few more days you have to kind of mix them up so they all get some air then usually its good and time to jar up.

We've developed a super easy and cheap method that uses simple cardboard boxes from Home Depot, coat hangers from your closet and some packaging tape. We slow the dry down with 'em. We use the hanging method so the buds never lay on their side and become deformed (flattened slightly on the sides). See the Skywalker pic in my avatar - looks like it is still on the plant with all calyxes and pistils proudly sticking up into the air. Never laying the buds on their sides may be overkill but it sure make the weed look a lot nicer!
Also in CA and we NEVER wet trim. Loses too much nose on the final product. Pluck the big fans, trim branches to fit box, hang 'em and go. Here'a a thread with pics of the boxes: https://www.rollitup.org/t/knott-boxes-for-better-drying.857080/#post-11228421

Good idea. In my short existance, I too have liked the results of dry trimming but have done it after hanging whole plant after fan leaf (plus a bit more) removal. This drying stage leads to branches being cut, trimmed, and placed in a non-airtight bin until they reached 60 when they were jarred (did shrink wrap a couple too)
That said, wet trimming is so much easier to me and for my needs may end out the winner (i.e. the method that becomes what I do...in spite of any CA scorn.

Almost too easy.
If you think about it my stringing addition to my rack gives me 7 ft of string capability in a 2 ft space or in other words, it is like 4, 21inch hangers spaced 6 inches apart...so I think I am accomplishing something close.

I tried a few ways I have a big window screen I mounted to the wall I use as a trying table it folds down so its not in the way when I'm not using it. I've got a food dehydrator and I disconnected the heating element so its just a little fan blowing in box I can dry a whole indoor plant in that usually. The hangers seem to be the best way, they dry evenly and look a lot fluffier laying them down tends to make a flat side.
