Last night I had a visit from my buddy Oswaldo, catching up on the gossip and picking his brain about buying a scooter. It is better to be informed when acting on anything here.
I am still a little jet-lagged, can't sleep in enough to counteract it yet, too many things on the brain, and the brain is small....
I got up early enough to do laundry before Spanish class which was productive in itself. I am actually learning some useful conversation pieces.
Then I had lunch with my buddy Raul and caught up on his views of the city and the world. He dropped me off near the bus terminal so that I could check out some scooters. Yamaha was still trying to sell 125cc 2013 scooters for $2500 with a 1-year warranty. I took Oswaldo's suggestion and checked out Multimotos on the next corner and his favourite 2015 Motor-1Fatty scooter. I haggled a little and then had to check out the dealer I had seen before I left for Canada, over on Remigio Crespo. My memory said that they were selling the same scooter for less. It turns out that it is a different scooter, Viper, and the warranty was only 1 year, not 2 years as the salesman told me a month ago.
So back I went to Multimotos and haggled some more. I ended up getting the 2015 Fatty Scooter 150cc (fat and bigger tires for a smoother ride), with registration, license, and helmet for $1,750. It has a 15,000 km or 15 month warranty, plus the dealer has his own shop with factory parts. They didn't have a white one like I wanted so I settled for a bright red one. They need 3 days to get the paperwork done and to prep the bike so I pick it up on Friday. Then I will have a new toy to outfit so that it will be functional and practical, ...just like me...
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
