Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

The Giorno Scooter Launch Party

Held at the Thompson Hotel last week.

I’ve never ridden a scooter. Had a bike (Ninja) for a couple years, that’s it.

Pretty good looking, eh.

I’d like to wear a billowy dress, while cruising downtown.

It uses Honda’s all-new automatic transmission; no more shifting gears, just twist and go.

The law is: 50 cc and below can park for free in the city. This scooter is 49 cc.

I wrote about the Giorno on Autonet.

Clever headline, eh (that’s not me, that’s my boss Joe).

Max speed 60km/h     $2,299     The Giorno

Lecturing Teenage Drivers

They need it.

Per kilometre, teen drivers are involved in more crashes than any other age group.

(read it online)

Favourite line:

[slow down] This is not a knock; it is just logic – the only way to become a good driver is through increased seat time. But you just became licensed to sit in that seat.”

What Happens When a Scooter Tips Over

The morning after.

That won’t just buff out; the side panel will likely have to be replaced, and that bottom piece. Possibly some structural damage, too. And this is a Vespa, so that won’t be cheap.

Not so free parking anymore, huh.

(free sidewalk parking, in the city, for scooters under 50 CCs)
