Scooters and Things

Journey began simple enough. Desire for a basic transportation. Public buses do exist, but they run at unknown schedule and stop at unknown locations. Well, confusing to say the least. So I opted for the brand I trust and respect - Honda. Honda Activa is the beautiful little marvel. With a 100cc engine and trunk under the seat it is practical. Cargo hook in the front provides additional shopping bag space. You can zip around town at a brisk 30km/h, and on a highway take it up to 60. There is no problem with 2 people on it too. I thought I was set for this stay. But out of the blue popped out my old friend Fernando. He just got back from Goa, and was heading out to Thailand. And he had a REAL bike. Meet Fernando's Enfield. 350cc of classic English power, with a sound that can't be matched. Gone the muted buzz of a Honda, replaced by a manly rumble of a Bullet Machismo. So guess what, now I am scaring the cows from the Enfield, and I feel a lucky man. Possibilities of touring the countryside might become a reality. But for now, all you chickens and pigs beware, there is a new sheriff in town!
