Well, the Eaton Centre isn't all that far for me to get to, on the
avarage, I do quite well with this thing of a Scooter, but I like
it so much because I can go just about anywhere with it, 'specially
last year, when we had the snowfall, I mamged to get through places
that others actually couldn't make it through, also the machine is
heavy enough to bulldoze through the piles of snow that build up on
the side of the road when there is heavy traffic, you know the way
there is alway's a pile of the stuff sitting where cars make turns
and such, for some reason it will build up, I have memorized the
ramps on the corners where I cross the street, so I can go full
speed and hit the pile of snow, the machine will come to almost a
stop, but it will go all the way through without actually stopping,
at times I had to back up a bit and have a second run at it, but I
never really got stuck.

 Cheers.

 Bill
