Wish I'd not started reading this thread now, I was moderately cheerful beforehand 
Hope you dig yourself out of the hole soon

Re: fed up with riding
Or a Tmax! Got up early today (extra hours light in the morning) and had a quick blast round the lanes. That reminded me why I ride!gn2 wrote:Just get a Forza.
It worked for me.
Dismal chore instantly transformed into pleasant riding experience.

Re: fed up with riding
You definitely could do with a scooter with some more power. It makes a hell of a difference and can transform any ride. Hope you feel better about it soon.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: fed up with riding
i am going to say this once , so dont slag me of for it as its my opinion.
your only here once mate.. i have to drive my car some days, like taking my 11 year old to school , cos i believe its too dangerous in the mornings yet he rides back with me from school every day. It a chore in the car, stuck in traffic etc etc etc.. to have the freedom of riding my scoot, go wherever, whenever i like and have tons of fun doing it, i would not give up for anything.. there are generally more factors than what you initially said to why... but us muppets , sat on the computers typing aint gonna change anything, come rain or shine, togged up or not, when you put the key in your scoot and fire her up then its just you and your machine in total harmony.. sod everything else in the world, just have fun.. end of

Re: fed up with riding
Chin up get rid of the negatives and focus on the positive which is scooter riding to clean everything out for positive focus. I been there and starting to feel better as starting to sort my YP250 out as i really love kicking round on it. I really think this sites is the best as there are alot of people with heaps of knowledge and lots of positve focus.
