Got the scooter from Will yesterday after some initial confusion over which train station to meet at. It's a Suzuki Address. Supposedly 50cc, but the body is the same size as the 100cc Suzuki Address, which means it nice and long and stable and smooth and FAST. The spedometer pegs at 60 (kilos/hour) but there's plenty left in the throttle and the engine has a wicked squeal of combustion as it revs ever higher. The Angel of Death sticker on the back suggested a possible name, but I think for now, and in honor of the original Mighty Steed, this scooter is hereby named:
The Mightier Steed
Technically it's not quite mine yet. Will has to go to the Meguro Ward Office, unregister it and turn in the license plate, then transfer it to me and then I have to register it in Minato Ward and get new plates. (Actually, legally I'm wondering if the scooter was ever transferred to Will from the previous owner, but whatever...)
