New and old

It was an eventful week that ended nicely with the arrival of my new scooter. Excited much, I was. With my new ride and restored freedom to travel around again. As I tested out my new ride, I realised I had been subconsciously comparing this new scooter I bought for myself against the old one lent to me. The throttle was more responsive, brakes were more effective, handling was smoother. Having owned this new scooter for the very first time also meant that I had to start from ground zero, with the documentations, with the maintenance and grooming. I was actually contented with the old scooter, despite not being the owner, riding it as the number N-th rider. I would have probably continued with it, if not for the fact that circumstances require I return the scooter. Then again if not for that, I wouldn't have gotten a new one only to realise it was better in so many ways, and most importantly, it was truly mine and not a loan that might just be taken back anytime.
