Here's our new bike.....vrrooomm! vroooom!!!

So Matt has been eating, sleeping, dreaming and plotting for a bike since our arrival and here it is: our first bike!

It is a Daelim Magma 125cc bright yellow machine! It will be mine as we plan on getting a pair of 125s instead of one big powerful monster so we are each only responsible for our own lives.

And it is yellow!!! Yes folks, yellow! I know many of you have heard my intense misunderstanding for the colour as it seems to rub me the wrong way with its mocking brightness and its starkness that is definitely inappropriate for most situations and colour schemes. Why yellow then you ask? One word: visibility! If you see how Koreans drive you will agree that visibility is the key to survival when on wheels.

With his nose still to the grind stone Matt searches eagerly for his bike. I want him to get a yellow one too, but he seems bent on finding something called a Mirage. I don't understand, all that matters to me is #1 it IS a motorcycle, #2 it goes, and #3 it is in excellent working condition. Boys care about silly things ;-)

Come on, don't you think two matching bike would be adorable?

lol,
Julia
