The Vespa S 125

March 17 - start of the work from home setup due to the extended community quarantine. I'm working three hours early from my official work hours, and I'm still on my not so good woke up like this look, so no video calls for now. 

Since its early and social media inquiries and emails are a bit slow I have decided to visit the blog site and update a bit.  Its been a looooooong time since I've been here, and remembering from how I do this, I'll just type away!

Yes, I'm still doing some running, although on a weekend basis.  I can just do a 4km/30 minutes run down from my previous average 5km/30minutes.   Cycling I've just done like 3 for this year and its leisurely.  Overall, I'm not really pushing myself on these.

Welcome home Cherry!

What I'm pushing myself to doing lately is riding - my Vespa.  March 9, 2019 when I took her home.  So far its been a year of clean mudguards, dust-free body and safety gear building (we'll get to gears on a separate post)

This is a Vespa S 125 Rosso Matt (Matte Red) with extras like Vespa fly screen, fixed rack, top box, foot pegs and floor mat. 

What made me decide in getting a scoot was when I saw it up close and personal at Motori Moderni in Nuvali during on of our store visits.  It was love at first sight and touch!  It was the same matte red unit that at the time was P125,000, with a promo of 0% interest for credit card.  As much as I wanted to get it on the spot I could not.  Needed to get the wife's approval as a motorcycle is not something that you get and use out of impulse.  I'm responsible that way. 😎

I've come to realize that its not just about its looks, but a great mobility option!  I dread traveling on Saturdays due to unlimited traffic.  Scooting is a great way to breeze through the traffic, plus getting a parking slot is also very easy (not to mention cheap).

I was also able to experience the hills amd nature like I used to with the road bike.  My first and only Marilaque ride was a blast!  Thankfully didn't get to meet any kamote riders!

Riding a motorcycle does have its drawbacks - rain, heat, rude motorists and in the case of the Vespa, a bit on the expensive side.  But it does bring in certain plus points like convenience, its therapeutic, and in the case of the Vespa, a certain coolness and lifestyle.  Ride Safe!
