    Psst....take 2 of these little beauties. You'll be as right as rain when (if) you wake up.
    PS - where'd the boat go??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Might make a good anchor for a boat?
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    They look bloody awful, reckon they would suit these fashion type girls who are dead set on being as thin as a rake, now they'll have a moped to match their skinny arse!!!

    I think I own that Sundiro Mantis. Did you see it at Victoria University? I'm currently fixing it up after several things have broken off it. It's still running pretty good. You can have a ride on it if you like. It might change you mind about wanting one though. Perhaps I should get the breaks fixed first on second thought. I love it myself. Every time I stop anywhere it sparks a conversation.

    Right, I take it that stopping is not something you do too often then...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Woah! Not a fan, eh Conquiztador? I'm telling you, people frequently come up to me and ask me all about it, strangers offer to buy it and children point it out to their parents and ask for one for Xmas. I think it looks bizzare, which is great. Don't you agree that it looks weird? And I reckon it's got the cool factor. Mine is just like the one on the left picture above. Surely you can see how that starts conversations. It's actually just in at the shop getting all fixed up right now. I can't wait to get it back.

    Sorry Giles. I rather walk with two broken legs. The day I need something like that to get noticed I have been dead for too long.

    Oh, it doesn't get me noticed as such. I'm sure after people talk to me about it they forget me completely, but they keep on wondering what those whacky Chinese scooter-makers were thinking. Better than being boring, I think and better than riding something like an ugly chopper with dangerously long forks or something to try to get noticed and getting all bitter when everyone just thinks you're a twit. I can understand that my scooter isn't to everyone's taste, but don't you agree that variety is the spice of life? And also, when it comes down to it, that thing is incredibly cheep to run and register, it doesn't need a warrant and it's so small you can litterally pick it up and put it in the back of your car it breaks down, not that it ever has. That all makes it a very practical way to get around, quite apart from its looks.
