Suzuki Skydrive 125 and KK Traffic

Finally, I bought a scooter! Suzuki Skydrive 125, see at this link:

Took me only 7 minutes to reach the office. Since early this year, average time taken is 25 minutes by car, twice longer than in previous year. Time saved: 18 minutes - spent watching 7am news or having a light breakfast.

I wonder what the authorities are doing, KK is getting busier yet the people cannot see any significant improvements made to the road and traffic systems. The solutions may be easily sought from Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) made by transportation engineering experts. Instead, DBKK Mayor came up with a press statement saying that the people of Kota Kinabalu need an LRT system! The solution can be 100 times cheaper. I wonder how these people climb up the ladder.....

Buying a new bike

Traffic in KK is getting worse from time to time. Not only expensive house rental and food, the cost for getting to work is also increasing. I am seriously considering buying a bike... Still haven't made up my mind yet, a typical bike or a scooter? Scooter looks more elegant and easier to handle. However, expect higher CAPEX and OPEX. Typical bike looks not so stylish, but should meet the intended purpose i.e. getting to work. Based on these arguments, I prefer scooter to typical bike :) Waiting for the right time, then just go the the shop and grab one... no more thinking. This one looks nice: Joymax 250: yet to find the dealer and OTR price. Huge luggage box works for me. The 12L fuel capacity is good for a non-stop 300km-journey.
