Now that I look at the information you provided I may
be wrong. BUT!
I've been driving my M-135 over the last ten years and
have been stopped at roadblocks for license and
registration, the only thing I was asked was if I had
the "right" fuel in the tank, to which I replied,
"Duh?" then I told the trooper that it was a gas
engine, that seemed to make him grumpier, I got waved
through. I even had an off duty trooper in the
passenger's seat that asked the question about the
license classification by weight, he didn't know
exactly what the weight was either.
THEN we get to the subject of whether its for
commercial use or not.
I stand by my original assertion that there is
confusion afoot in NYS!!
My intent is to do just what the "law" enforcement
does here and that is what ever the courts will let
you get away with!
Joe
