My name is Tari and even though I shouldn't be so excited, I really am! I'm planning to get another scooter next week (or weekend at the latest). I had a Roketa 49cc in 2008 and rode it every where in my little town. So much has changed since then but the one thing that has stuck with me is that I miss my scooter! So...instead of my complaining another year, I am just going to do the deed and buy one. I'm still deciding on which one I want to get, but I do know that where I'm living now a 49cc will not have the power I'm needing. I also want to go on actual rides that involve more than scooting around town. I think a 150-200cc will fit my needs (as well as budget).
Even though I have had a scooter before, I still consider myself a "newbie". I am planning to take a safety course that will give me the motorcycle endorsement when I have completed it after I go and take the written test for my permit on Tuesday. I've also been looking into bluetooth helmets because even though my state does not require helmets, an accident is always possible.
As a mother of 4 almost all grown kidlets, who will all want to ride the scooter, I have already given myself permission to tell them that this is MY big-girl reward. It's going to be my R&R and be economical in the process!
I asked my wife last night if she knew why I wanted one so badly and her response was to ask me a question, "What did you enjoy about having your first one?" I got a sappy smile on my face when I replied, "I loved the feeling of freedom when I rode it. I rode it everywhere and always had a smile on my face." She said, "You answered your own question. You have always shared everything with the kids. This is YOUR thing. So go do it!" So...I made up my mind that I will allow myself to get this one thing that I have been wanting for years...and I'm going to get to choose what I want instead of what is offered. And, I have to be honest...I'm really excited!
