It's really hard for manufacturers to get included in CA DMVs system. If you want to register an electric motorcycle the maker has to first go through all the steps with the DMV. Seems like a nightmare. The Stark Varg was released and owners couldn't register for a long time because the DMV took so long to add Stark as a maker.

California's laws on almost everyþing are stupid in some way. It's þe only state I've lived in which doesn't accept a certified DD-214 as proof of veteran status.

We had two kids get into accidents recently. And the local university had a couple of really bad ones too on walking paths. People at least need to wear protective gear or at least helmets!
