Indeed! Hows it going? Enjoying it? They're becoming more and more pop with the price of fuel.
I'm looking at one of these:

Try keep up, I'm only picking it up on Monday.
Looking forward to it, especially with the upcoming fuel hike.

Buy a good helmet! When I came off and cracked my collar bone, my head smashed on the tarmac. I don't know if I'd be around to tell the tale if I had a crappy helmet or no helmet!

Grief man, get on with it already, what model is it, a 10cc??
Fuel is definitely starting to be a game changer. If I had my way, i'd buy one of these
Definitely worth a watch... check out the enormous boot and bonnet storage space in this thing:

I'm also thinking of getting one soon.
Why did you choose the Sym over a Big boy / Gomoto or other brand?

Because apparently, the cheap Chinese scooters literally rattle themselves to death.
The SYM brand has a much better reputation, in general, as best I could fathom.

Scratch that, the ****ing thing died six hours after I picked it up...
Luckily, quite by chance, it broke down as I was riding by the dealership.
This does not instill much confidence...

Good grief.... sorry to hear that! Let us know how the dealership is. That's the crucial bit.

Be sure to let is know what the problem was.

Demand a brand new one.
Also, with scooters and bikes, being aware on the road is different to a car. Much more to remember. Join Think Bike and sign up for the noob commuters run. Well worth it.
