Bye-bye, Darth Vader

I had to sell off Darth Vader to make ends meet after the fuel price hike.

Darth Vader is the name I gave to my beloved big scooter; a Modenas Elegan. Bought it just recently before Chinese New Year 2008, end-January. DV had barely a scratch; its odometer just showing a whisker past 700km worth of rides. The only time DV went further than the streets of Ipoh is when I took it to Taiping for the CNY ... it was amazing. You would think that a scooter is only good for ... well, scooting about town. But noooo, DV the Elegan could do highway-legal speeds 110km/h with utter ease, and more - even with big 'ol Uncle Burger onboard.

It was a joy to ride. But most importantly, it was the "symbol"- if you will - of Uncle Burger the business. DV was bought with the hard-earned money saved from serving my humble burgers to all you great supportive folks ... here's a word of great thanks to everyone.

But, alas - Darth Vader had to go.

I'm too sad to continue this post ... talking about DV always brings tears to these pair of eyes ...
