I still drive with some fear, I'm still a rookie... :)
But...for those who need to know, the maximum speed on straight road is ~100kms/h.
In the highway, downhill, with no cars and with care, it goes fast as ~120kms/h.
On the same higway, uphill, goes as fast as 70kms/h :(
Never drove with a passenger... always me on Symone alone...
I don't need much speed on traffic jams, the speed I need is "not stopped, on the move" :)

Riding Symone...
The gods of motorcycle are not with me... another rainy weekend :(
Couldn't take any photos these days, but I'll post more sometime soon...
Today I rode Symone, my Sym GST 125 Evo bike, (see my previous post to understand the nickname) for 30 minutes or so.
I drove in the neighborhood and adventured my self a little further on to some busy roads.
Went to the riverside road where traffic was more intense (fear!!) and the drivers are less careful.
In the first semaphore I stopped behind a car, and stood there a few seconds and then I took a deep breath and thought to my self "I think I can fit there" in between the two cars... so slowly I went and pass through them and stood in first position on the semaphore.
Green light! Vrummmmm! Eat my dust suckers!
Amazing... the speed it gets and leaves all the cars behind.
I'm gonna love this in the busy roads on commuting days...
After that I went to a busy highway, always on the slow lane at 80km/h, and then home.
All went well... :)
Maybe tomorrow I'll risk it and try to go to work in my Symone..
