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

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

The MC license thing may be the key to getting reasonable<br>
insurance. Definitely let us know how Cody's test goes!!! I<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 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 gotta<br>
believe that it is safer than a real motorcycle. I think<br>
that the tricky thing is getting motorcycle insurance without<br>
a motorcycle license. I can see how this might not jive on paper.<br>
<br>
Cody is going to be the first to try and take his motorcycle<br>
driving test on a cushman. That will be interesting if they<br>
let him.<br>
<br>
I do recommend getting your motorcycle license. I was 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 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>

21st century/AIG insurance policy also includes<br>
motorcycle towing. Alec, don't you have coverage<br>
through them? You referred me to them.<br>

them?<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 the top<br>
and started<br>
getting a clunking noise. Pulled over, drive<br>
shaft still<br>
working. Drove a little farther to test and it<br>
was clunking<br>
about once every wheel revolution, I 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 now. I'm<br>
thinking flatbed.<br>
