I only commute 3 k's each way to work. I find it interesting to look at just how I carry things on this tiny scooter.
This week I had to cary home 22 basketball uniforms and a ball. The uniforms fitted under the seat ok, but the basket ball had to sit on the foot plate. Commical to get underway with a basketball rolling around on the foot plate. It's ok when you twist and go as one foot either side of the ball holds it in place.
Still funnier when at a stop sign, one foot down to wait for the traffic to clear and the ball rolls off toward the gutter. Scoot up onto the stand and walk off to retrieve the ball. Laughter from the traffic around, followed by respect as I twist and manage to trap the ball as I slowly pull away from the yellow line. Wobble my way down the drive waiting for the electric door to go up as I know that on such a slope I'll loose the ball again if I have to stop. Talk about 'slow riding'! I make it into te garage before the round object slopes off to hide under the V-strom. It is fun carying stuff on a tiny scooter. Cheers.
