Goodbye Juanita

Thursday 18 May 2006

Eleven days ago some heartless, mindless bastard stole my beautiful baby scooty. Her name was Juanita and she was the most beautiful thing I've ever had the privilege to own. She was a chrome and black study in smooth, sexy style. With a big arse and a flashy front she was exactly what I would like to be if I was a scooter.

She was insured, so the tangible, dollar value loss will not be huge, but I loved this scoot. From the day I picked her up that Monday 1st November 2004, to that awful Sunday 7th May 2006 when I realized she was gone, we were together almost every day. We traveled to Woollongong, Canberra, Jambaroo, Dubbo, South West Rocks and everywhere in between. She made friends with strangers everywhere we went, and I met some amazing people through her.

I need new wheels and with the insurance money I'll get some in no time at all. But I doubt anything will come close to my first scooter love. I can't get a new Aprilia Mojito 150cc because they don't make them anymore but even if they did, it just wouldn't be the same. I'll get something else, and I'll love it for different reasons but nothing will ever replace my Juanita.

I miss her so much.
