It's been raining for an eternity.
When you live in a drought prone country you sometimes take for granted the endless sunshine that comes with the water restrictions. It's been raining in Sydney for about two and a half weeks and it's driving me insane. The kitchen looks like a chinese laundry with 4 of us trying the best we can to hang our washing dry in a cold damp house.
I picked up my new scooter 12 days ago and today was the first time I've reaally been able to open her up and see what she can do. I thought it best to wait till the roads dried out so that if I did get her up to promised speeds I'd also be able to stop again. I took her down the Gong via the Natio, stopping at Stanwell Tops (Bald Mount) for a stretch and a chat with some very surprised looking speed bikers. They were all strapped up in their full body leathers, colour matched to their bikes, and there I was in my big green parker, riding what looks like a little old scooty but sounds wickedly loud.
I was so sad when I lost Juanita, and even since I got my new baby I haven't been totally convinced that I'd made the right replacement choice. But now that the weather is clearing and we are getting to know each other a little more I'm really really starting to appreciate her.
Named after the godess of night and the daughter of Chaos, I'd like to welcome NYX, black PX200 rides like a demon.
