Yamaha Nouvo which I also love



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.

[Jenny Mayo’s Quote]
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 ^_^
Sukūtā o unten suru koto subarashī keiken o suru koto ga dekimasu.
Watashi wa watashi o aishi, sore wa watashi ga hontōni watashinojinsei no nokori no tame no bamyūda ni tsuite ketsujō suru mono no hitotsudesu.

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].
