A different kind of bike this time… a Kymco Grand Dink 250. Kymco has a knack for product-naming – I can tell people that I have a grand dink ;).

“So what is it really?” I hear you ask. Its a big scooter. Something that won’t get intimidated by the traffic. Something that can hold 80km/h into the teeth of a howling South-Easter (well, I expect it to – I haven’t actually ridden in a howling S’Easter yet).

The dealer promises over 300km on its 12l tank, so I should save a bit on petrol. Also traffic is no longer an issue :)
