Willie, I use 2nd gear low range in parades with marching bands, other
marching groups. I stay in the center of the street,that automaticly keeps
you away from the onlookers. I put two or more kids in the back with the
cargo safety strap across the tail end and a responsible person supervising.
And THEY throw candy to the children onlooking!!!!!!!!!!! The crowd loves
it. No one around here criticises me for it. Our Sherriff Patrol often
marches with us. I guess you just have to be alert. You are basicly moving
at about 2.5 miles per hour. HAVE FUN jatonka
