MEMORANDUM*

2
The policy expressly excludes from coverage liability for bodily injuries arising out of the ownership or use of a recreational motorized vehicle that is "owned by an insured person and is being used away from an insured premises."  That the vehicle at issue was "owned by an insured person" is undisputed.  The accident occurred after the children had driven over a mile off the residential premises, along a public roadway, and well into a large tract of land separated from the residential premises by a fence.  We therefore conclude that appellants' expectation that this accident was covered by the policy was not objectively reasonable.  The policy does not cover this accident.  See Farmers Ins. Exchange v. Knopp, 50 Cal. App. 4th 1415, 58 Cal. Rptr. 2d 331, 335 (Cal.Ct.App.1996).
