Last Thursday I had another "situation" with my scooter. I was pulling in to park at UH and noticed my termperature light was on, and then when I stopped, I saw steam coming off the engine, and also green fluid leaking out of a rubber tube on the bottom. Eek! So I got my friendly wrecker driver to tow the scooter to Metric Motorcycles, where they let me know the next day that (fortunately) the radiator was OK, but the fan blades had gotten warped or something, and stuck, and that's why the engine overheated, and the fluid was coming out of the overflow valve. So the scooter is back in the shop for another week and a half. (This is the Suzuki Burgman.)
Also a few weeks ago when I was using Larry's Vespa, I went back to get on the scooter and the battery was dead. So Larry had to come get me using his little trailer.
Anyway, everyone says that none of this is my fault, but it does seem like I have been spending more time in the past few months getting towed than I ever have in my entire life and it's not much fun.
