A Nouvo Story In Bermuda
Island with Jenny Mayo
One of my new found freedoms of life in Bermuda
has been the release from the boredom, stress, frustration, and wasted time of
car traffic. I used to love driving --
growing up in Saskatchewan
driving was initially the new freedom which allowed one to expand not just
horizons, but hobbies and friendships.
Once in Edmonton,
driving afforded convenience and flexibility...but more and more it meant time
stuck in traffic, knuckle-whitening death grips on the wheel on icy roads in
the winter and knucklehead drivers to avoid in the summer....makes me tense up
just thinking about it. Driving
remained a tool to keep expanding those horizons, hobbies, and friendships, but
during the winter months it could add 2 hours to the work day, plus the initial
trek out to the car in darkness and temperatures of -20C to -30C to start the
car, scrape the windshield, and remove the snowfall coating the entire car. In retrospect...what a horrible way to start
a day. But a fact of life...in Canada.
Little Red, as it turns out, was a bit of a lemon. Out of love I spent far too much in the
mechanic shops before I finally decided to fix her one last time and sell
her. The replacement was a 115cc black
and purple Yamaha [Yamaha Nouvo Z – AT115C] which I also love. For $100 more I could have gotten a
125cc...but it didn't come in black and purple...easy decision. It did require doing the riding exam for a
new license. But in addition to being a
great looking bike, the engine has a signature roar that Dev describes as
positively beastly...and I do enjoy giving it a solid rev in a crowd. It also goes a LOT faster. For the first time, friends were telling me
to slow down rather than give me a 10 minute head start to get to our
destination. I used to just keep Little
Red at max throttle and never worry about how fast (or slow) we were going, but
that habit got me to some pretty cruisey speeds on the Yamaha.
The replacement was a 115cc black and purple Yamaha which I
also love.

Driving a scooter can be a fabulous experience.
I love mine and it is one of the things I will truly miss
about Bermuda for the rest of my life V ^_^
スクーターを運転すること素晴らしい経験をすることができます。
私は私を愛し、それは私が本当に私の人生の残りのためのバミューダについて欠場するものの一つです。V ^_^

Little Red – Si
Merah Imut ini, ternyata agak manja. Karena saya menghabiskan terlalu banyak di
toko-toko mekanik sebelum akhirnya memutuskan untuk memperbaiki untuk terakhir
kali dan kemudian menjualnya. Penggantinya adalah Yamaha berwarna hitam dan
ungu 115cc [Yamaha Nouvo Z - AT115C] yang saya juga suka. Untuk $ 100 lebih
saya bisa mendapatkan 125cc ... tapi skuter yang ditawarkan itu tidak ada
pilihan warna hitam dengan kombinasi ungu ... keputusan yang mudah. Selain itu,
skuter 125cc itu harus melakukan ujian untuk SIM baru.
Tapi selain
sepeda motor tampak lebih besar, getaran mesin juga terasa di tangan, Dev
menggambarkan sebagai ”pasti bertenaga” ... dan saya menikmati keyakinan
berkendara di jalanan. Hal ini juga terjadi pada kecepatan, ternyata lebih
tinggi. Untuk pertama kalinya, teman-teman mengatakan padaku untuk memperlambat
kecepatan, lebih dini 10 menit sampai di tempat kerja. Saat mengendarai Little
Red, saya selalu memutar gas sampai habis dan tidak pernah khawatir tentang
seberapa cepat (atau lambat) kami pergi, tapi kebiasaan itu membuat saya untuk memperhitungkan
kembali kecepatan yang cukup untuk berkendara di Yamaha [Nouvo Z - AT115C].
