Re: EV sales down
I doubt that :) EV’s are generally not seen as being good news to the traditional ICE manufacturers who are heavily invested in their current business models.

Re: First accident...
It can get worse :( Filly had a non-fault claim after a guy drive into the back of her car when she was stationary. His insurers paid up, so no cost to her. But the fact that she'd even had to claim put up my insurance! [Named driver on my policy] If I'd known this was likely, I would have had it ad...

Re: EV sales down
I've driven - briefly a Leaf, but did a couple of days with an Ampera. Ok only mway, but it was comfy and smooth, and I'd happily have one (presumably representative of other hybrids) - but not at those prices. Plus cost of charging point at home.

Unless the bike is already in mid-air, it shouldn't be too much of a problem
I wonder about the effect on the window glass from a few high-low speed cycles?

Re: What headlight bulbs?
Never changed a bulb before, but how hard can it be? Seems like there's ample room in the engine bay behind the headlights, and shouldn't be that hard to do!
