A new addition to the two wheeler family
The brother seems to be feeling the urge to ride and has actually bought for himself a Bajaj Pulsar.
The Bajaj Pulsar
He initially contemplated on getting a Vespa LX 150, but finally had his heart set on the Bajaj after realising that the petrol consumption mileage was better and the tank capacity was higher.
We went to one motorcycle shop on evening. And while he was talking to the salesman, I went off to admire this cutie.
The Yamaha Fino
Isnt it adorable? This is the Yamaha Fino. I like the shape and the look of this scooter. It looks so retro. And it is mini enough for any woman to ride comfortably. What’s cute about it is that there is a side pocket in the front to put items like water bottles.
This particular green and white limited edition which we saw at Universal Motors is going for about $5k on the road.
But as adorable as it is, the one thing that didnt make it perfect was that the Fino had very little storage. I cant even stuff my handbag in there, much less with things like laptops or the SLR Camera bag.
My Vespa GT200 is still the best. Hehehe!
I think I need a new picture of baby and me
Anyways, the brother will be getting his Bajaj this evening and he’s letting me be the subrider. Coolness! I cant wait to try riding on that.
And speaking of Vespas, the Vespa Club is having a 1 Day Trip to Malacca, Malaysia this Sunday. If you have a Vespa and is free this sunday, do join us. It’ll be fun! :)

Update : Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I finally saw the sunflower biker along the AYE expressway on my way to night class. Wanted to wave hello to him but he rode away so fast.
Super cool right? :D

I always thought of vespas as cool retro bikes. Always wanted to ride one. Alas. A tall, lanky guy like me on a vespa. A damn weird combi. Tried once and I think we don’t really make a good picture together. What with my knees sticking up getting in the way of the handles and all.. Bahh
But I really think vespas are cool..!

If you keep on persevering, I’m sure in time your parents will allow you. Actually when I started to learn to ride I didnt even tell both my parents. I told myself that I’m going to go ahead whether they allow me or not.
I’m not doing anything wrong and its my own money after all :P
You try again next year … then the year after that … then the year after that … until you get it … hehehehe ;)

Hey, you could try my type of scooter, the GT200. Its a modern vespa. Its designed for taller people. Me at 1.61, have to stand on my toes a little when I stop the scooter, so I think that it would be more comfortable for you :)
Yes, the retro vespa is pretty small. It would look funny to see a very tall guy riding it what more with the knees all the way to the handles.. hehehe :)
Snack Monster
Yeah! In fact you could even get a vintage vespa for $500!!! This is a great mode of transportation :) Cheap and good! *thumbs up*
But most importantly is the heart. Are you more a two wheeler or a four wheeler? Then as the great venerable Nike would say, just do it … Hehehe ;)

Hey you know after reading about your posts on bikes and scooters, I really feel the itch to get one again. As I shared before I used to ride a red Skipper and it was pretty fun to get around on two wheels (weather permitting). And the new scooters I see nowadays are simply gorgeous! Only thing is the safety issue which my wife and parents will nag about….

[…] were also a number of non Italian two wheelers like this adorable Yamaha Fino. I saw this bike for the first time about last year and thought that it was superbly cute. I would ride it, but its just that the […]
