Every month or so I travel up to Ballarat to help make it easier for the whole time share thing with Lachlan since my Ex moved up here last year. And well, while it makes sence that this way Lachlan isnt always travelling and I share some of it, its still a royal pain in the backside.
Ok, well at first i thought, now there's something i haven't done before. Ride my scooter from home (Springvale) to Ballarat.
Part of the problem is that I dont own a car, and I dont really want to drive Andy's car up here and A. Leave him in melbourne over the weekend with no car, and B. I dont think his car would last very long if i started to drive it up here every month.
Anyway, this time I thought i would ride my TGB 150cc scooter up here. And while it seemed like a good idea at the time, as I finally have all the correct safety gear. The poor little thing really really struggled.
I think i knew it was totally inadequate for the job when i was going up this massive hill. This particular section of the road was marked for 110KPH, but my poor little scooty was barely managing to keep 80KPH and was starting to make a burning rubber smell from somewhere.
The smell seemed to only come when I was pushing the scooter extra extra hard, so thinking it would blow up if i persisted for too much longer, i would need to pull over and wait for it to cool down before proceeding again. Needless to say, this didnt make for a rapid journey.
Anyway, Im still up at Ballarat, so I still need to head back to Melbourne, and the plan was to leave monday morning and go straight to work, well thats the plan.
Heres hoping im not too late in at work Monday
