Life is Great on a Scooter!!

Today's weater:  High = 16  Low = 9
Sunny
 
Now that I'm back on a scooter, life has suddenly gotten a lot more positive!  Of course, the workload is still heavy and there are 40 days to go until the winter break, but cutting down on the commute drudgery helps a lot.  Riding a scooter makes the whole thing fun again, and it even makes it possible to go home during lunch now and take a nap.  That wasn't possible before without the bike. 
 
Part of the problem why November was so difficult was because I didn't have a scooter.   It really is the ideal choice to get around the city, even better than a motorbike because of the lightweight feel and the increased agility in traffic without having to shift gears all the time.  But for longer distance commutes and trips, the motorcycle is the better deal, given that you want something which can do sustained high speeds.  The scooter isn't really fit for that kind of riding.  Even when I get the Yamaha YBR250 eventually I will likely keep the scooter for city commuting.  There is a downside and that is getting fuel, but I've got an earlier system devised from squirreling it away in jerry cans that will need to start again.
