John,

Probably a good solution, but I ride so much I will never remember

They actually didn't raise me for declining

Insurance co's have more money than about anything else

Their lobbying funds are unlimited. THEY write the insurance laws

Assets worldwide 2002: $15 trillion
2022" $41 trillion

Not hard to figure out who makes the "laws"

My no vote was for several reasons:
1. at age 76, M/C #22 is expected to be my last
2. too expensive to purchase
3. replacement batteries too expensive
4. charge time too long
5. too quiet

I do own and use many battery operated tools

If eye issues reoccur in Spring of 2026, when time to renew my license, a grandson may "inherit" my V7-850 and I would likely buy an electric bicycle.
