Daddy’s new ride

Posted on May 18, 2010 by Gandalfe

My cheapo Schwinn Graduate scooter died after two years of nickle and diming me. Finally, it just wouldn’t start so I traded it in on a really nice, reliable Honda. It’s gorgeous, fast, fuel-efficient, and flat out fun. It’s nice to have a fuel gage that actually works, a smooth powerful (for a scooter) engine, and a very efficient way to commute the five miles to work.

I have a trunk on it too which is not shown in this picture.

Funny, I got over 20 comments on Facebook about this picture and none here. Sigh…

The 5 miles to work takes me 20 minutes no matter what I drive, a car or a scooter. At $4 a gallon for fuel, this baby will save me around $100 a month just in fuel costs alone.
