The Rapid.







Yes, our fantastic scooter is called the rapid, and it lives up to it's name! Oh, what a hog. Not that I know anything about this kind of thing, but it has a 125 cc engine, which my Dad informed me is only twice the size of his chainsaw. So I guess maybe were riding a glorified lawnmower, but the helmets are very snazzy, and they make us look very fast. Matt drives, and I hold on for dear life. He's getting to be a seasoned pro with his driving skills, running red lights, squeezing through traffic jams, and blowing past car lineup's alongside the best Mr.Pizza delivery boys around. Our brave steed even carries us up the mountain to our local climbing spot. It's a one way road that's lush and beautiful. Many people pay no attention to this one way road policy, and as such you have to be extra cautious on the corners!
We also took it to a really beautiful beach for the day. It was so much fun driving through the countryside!
Here is a typical drive by our apartment. Watch us accelerate from 0 to 60 (km/h) in 6.8 seconds:
