No Freedom for Cagers

Media_httpwwwinverted_ctjyg
The cagers drive in their cages in a frenzy to earn their wages, boxed in, they cannot see, the guy riding freedom, that guy is me, I ride my freedom every day, 2-stroke, thin-bloke, dressed in black, hunched back, fueled by caffeine navigating my steel machine, when I ride I keep it clean, you don't see me, you do not care, occasionally you give a scare, you swerve left, you swerve right, leave little space, it's getting tight, no respect for my means of travel, the way you treat me I'll be kissing gravel, I watch you in your cage, every day, it's just you trapped in there, all the way, it's sad to see so many cages passing by, with just one head, I ask myself why, is there a better way to get to work, without driving your cage like a jerk, respect my freedom, it's small, has two wheels, let me tell you how it feels, I turn the key and the freedom starts, push in the choke and give it a blast, it's quick and quiet for the first stage, then I join the others in their cages, first there's wind in my hair, I'll take my time getting there, I experience freedom along the beach, deep breath, the ocean is within reach, I smell bread baking, coffee brewing, breakfast cooking and.. your exhaust, blowing a great big cloud of black crap in my face, I'm at the lights in front of you, I do not like being in a queue, next time you are in your cage, driving in an epic rage, think about the one who's free, riding along peacefully.

new scooter. Vespa PX200

They've stopped making them, they are starting to become harder to find, before long you just will not be able to get a new one at all. I had to have one. 200cc, 2-stroke, 4-speed manual shift, stunning and elegant 30 year old design. mmm I put down a deposit for my Black Vespa PX200 yesterday after riding one. oh yeah! Now I just need to get my licence, and sell my Vespa LX50. If your after a 50', let me know, going for $3750, in mint condition.

Vespa LX50

Well last night Melissa and I drove up to Ace Scooters in Joondalup to test ride and check out some scooters. A couple of hours later I'd signed to purchase a new, black, Vespa LX50. What a lovely ride! I also picked up a new helmet, cable lock and jacket! I should be taking delivery this week (Saturday I think). I'll post more soon! fun time!

Empty Garage

Whats wrong with this picture? I'll tell you. There's a car missing. I just waved goodbye to our N15 Pulsar SSS which was sold to a young bloke who worked a year at bunnings (hardware store) to buy his first car. I'm glad it's going to someone thats worked hard for his first car! It was sad to watch it go, memories there! And thus concludes my on going family of Nissan cars which included two pulsars and a micra.

So what's next I hear you ask? Well our baby girl will be due soon, Melissa will be at home with bubs while I continue to work. The WRX will stay home equipped with baby seat. I no longer need a car to drive to work (because I used to drop Melissa off at the train station on my way to work every day) so I'm going for something different. I'm going to buy a scooter! (and bank the rest of the cash from the sale of the car) I'm looking at just a 50cc that I can ride on my regular car licence (and Melissa too after bub is born and she's able). I'd love to get a Vespa (The Ferrari of scooters), but we will see what happens! I'll have updates soon on the scooter thing, and no doubt end up blogging about it for a great deal of time (until i get bored)
