My Warrior

My Warrior with Red Helmet

Another month passed since Chinese New Year. I have got used to riding my Vespa (also known as my Warrior) to work.

After buying my Warrior, I had learned to pump petrol and pump air into tyres. The fuel tank is only about 8 litres, but the fuel guage meter will start to show empty and blink when there is only 2 litres left. My Warrior fuel consumption is about 25km per litres, therefore when the fuel gauge is blinking, I can still go to work for about 4 days. The cost of pumping a full tank is less than $20, but it lasted me about 1 month. If I can the public transport, $20 will only last me 2 weeks, so it is a bit of savings. :)

As for pumping of tires, the front tyre will need 160kpa and the back tyre will be 200kpa. However, the problem with the back tyre is that it is so near the engine that I have a hard time turning the knob after pumping the air and ended up some air is lost. Hence I rather pump 210kpa of air instead.

After these baby steps, I now need to learn how to gauge the brake oil, engine oil, hub oil (whatever that is). Then I have to learn what kind of oil to buy and how to top up these oils. Once I reach 800km, I have to send my Warrior for servicing, ie changing of the oils, inspection, etc.

Oh gosh, there is so many things to handle with my Warrior. Blappp .. **make face**

On the last day of February, I have travelled 259km, another 531km to go ...

Updated on 13 March: tyres should be pump at 160kpa and 210kpa, not 160psi and 210psi. :)
