Sick Sophia

Sophia, my Vespa, is due for her big 12,000km service next week but yesterday on the way to Metrorail she started to make a rattling sound from the general area of the engine. It sounded like a plate had come loose. On the way back it got even worse. She sounded so bad that I had to call the service centre who came and picked her up today. It broke my heart hearing Sophia sound so sick and I was feeling down all day. I had to use the Mercedes to Metrorail today which meant that I had to park on Platforms 11 and 12. Here is a shot from my parked car.
