I took these pictures right outside my apartment and as I did I had a couple of locals staring and asking me questions. Of course I didn't understand. This bike is an anomoly, there are very few cruisers here. Most bikes are much smaller and more sporty. The downside to a big heavy bike like this is manuevering is a bit tougher. Here everyone on scooters and bikes weaves through traffic and drives between lanes. It's harder for me to do that but I'll gladly make that sacrifice.
She's a 1995 Kymco Zing 150cc. Riding up steep hills can be a little tough on the engine especially with a passenger. For a 13 year old bike she runs great and is in pretty good condition. I've only been on her a few times and only on weekends. Riding in Taipei is still a little scary to me and it's probably going to take me a while to get used to.

Your girlfriend is only 13 years old. That officially makes you a creepy old man!!!
I saw your mom in Toronto recently, which was such a treat. Gave her lots of hugs and she told me I needed to re-visit your blog. So here I am!
