Zen and the Art of Scooter Maintenence

So Bret has gotten a scooter of his very own. He is enjoying it, and it's acquisition has given us further insight into life in Japan. When I watch anime, I can now identify the licensing sticker on the license plates of scooters! That's something, right?

I am really happy Bret has a new toy, and that he can get to work without bicycling for hours or having to wait for the train (although he still does take the train sometimes). He wants to get another one so we can go on scooter trips, but x dollars of scooter plus x dollars of insurance later I think we'll hold off on that for a while. But it's a thought for next summer!

Next up: buying a rain poncho for maintaining dryness while scooting!
