Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
Can you send me Jack's email or phone no - I'd like to check the<br>
source of his information. This would have big implications for<br>
things like the Aptera 3 wheel electric car I'm waiting for. (It<br>
would allow it to qualify for an electric vehicle rebate, but<br>
would require they manufacture and test it to auto standards -<br>
which they were avoiding).<br>

this conversation actually uncovers an important issue. as is<br>
turns out, starting the first of THIS year, all enclosed 3<br>
wheel vehicles are now classified as automobile rather than<br>
motorcycle. this is why we have had so many registration<br>
problems. as you may know, it is not possible to smog our<br>
little "cars" because they have no code in the computer to do<br>
this. they must be taken to the referee station to be given<br>
permanent smog exemption. after that you can do a regular reg.<br>
there are still some ways to get the motorcycle reg but<br>
ultimately the law has changed and it is really just a matter<br>
of time before they will make us do the change. my friend jack<br>
schroll spent a few days on the phone and finally cracked the<br>
code as to why we have been having so many problems. just<br>
though you all might want to know.<br>

The MC license thing may be the key to getting reasonable<br>

acutally have a motorcycle license but it's English - Gieco<br>
specifically wanted a US one.<br>

my signing rep is no longer there. I signed up before AIG<br>
bought them so things could be different now, but I do get<br>
motorcylce towing as a service that is included with my<br>
$100+/year motorcycle policy. Cushmans have a good safety<br>
record believe it or not (according to a guy who worked for<br>
the Cushman Manufacturer for years). 21st did ask me if I<br>
had a motorcycle license, but it was my impression that<br>
i did<br>
not need it to sign up at the time. I happened to have a<br>
motorcycle license and they insure motorcycles, and you<br>
gotta<br>
believe that it is safer than a real motorcycle. I think<br>
that the tricky thing is getting motorcycle insurance<br>
without<br>
a motorcycle license. I can see how this might not<br>
jive on paper.<br>
<br>
Cody is going to be the first to try and take his<br>
motorcycle<br>
driving test on a cushman. That will be interesting if<br>
they<br>
let him.<br>
<br>
I do recommend getting your motorcycle license. I was<br>
at the<br>
DMV once and I knew I was going to be there a while waiting<br>
for my number to come up, so I took the written test while<br>
waiting. I read the book for about 6 minutes. They<br>
let you<br>
take it 3 times in the same visit, and the third time I<br>
passed. Then I borrowed a friend's motorcycle to do the<br>
driving test. It was a fun challenge. I have not rode a 2<br>
wheeled motorcycle since. I prefer three wheels and three<br>
cylinders.<br>

[Silly Little Cars] San Francisco tow for a<br>
Cushman?<br>
<br>
<br>
I just had my first major breakdown... Was<br>
driving up<br>
Bernal Hill, very steel section, hit<br>
the top<br>
and started<br>
getting a clunking noise. Pulled over,<br>
drive<br>
shaft still<br>
working. Drove a little farther to test<br>
and it<br>
was clunking<br>
about once every wheel revolution, I<br>
thought<br>
maybe the<br>
brakes were sticking. Then the drive train<br>
completely<br>
failed, no more engine reaching the rear<br>
wheels. I think its<br>
the differential. Was in a rush so had to<br>
leave the car<br>
there.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyway, wondering if anyone knows of a good<br>
tow in SF for a<br>
Cushman? I usually use CC Rider but they<br>
require me to drive<br>
up onto their ramp, which I can't do<br>
now. I'm<br>
thinking flatbed.<br>
