Re: ELECTRIC VEHICLE INSURANCE

Side note.  I am working on converting a Kawasaki Ninja to an EV.  Farmers
has already told me they won't insure it, not because it's going to be an EV
but because of the riding postion.  It seems they don't insure motorcycles
that you lean forward on (sport bikes), only ones that you lean back on
(cruisers).  Go figure.
