The real truth about scooter riding ..

Do you know what? When I first got a scooter, I had vision of floating around like Audrey Hepburn, wearing cute little jackets and ballet pumps.

Forget it.

Scooter riding = layers of clothes, even in high summer. The inside of your winter full-face helmet will end up covered in make-up (so you end up wearing none and looking like an extra from 28 days later). Your summer open-face helmet will mean a thick layer of grubby grime all over your mush when you arrive at your destination. And don't even start me on what it does to your hair...
