Scooter and Riding


I've started to ride my Vino 125 to work again, when the weather is nice. I could say a thing or two about the gas prices which are currently up at $1.03 Canadian per litre, but its more about the amusement factor than the gas savings.

The battery died over the course of the winter and I haven't been able to revive it. I've been kickstarting until I replaced the battery yesterday. The replacement process wasn't too difficult, everything was located in a pretty easy to reach location under the foot panelling. All I needed was a Phillips screwdriver.

Maybe I should trade it in for something a little heavier, since 125cc doesn't meet the 400-series highway requirement of 250cc. I'm not quite sure where I read that any more, but 125cc only gets me up to about 80 kmph anyway, which is not good enough for the highway. I wonder what the trade in value would be, or if it's better to just sell it privately. I'm probably better off with the latter.

Allen.
