Mood isn't Improving


My mood isn't improving. My bike is still at the shop which means I still sit in the traffic to work and back while my money runs low due to the unbudgeted fuel costs. The bike service man can not find alternative back brake pads and now I am forced to by from Vespa at their RIPOFF prices. Oh I forgot, they are made in Asia somewhere, shipped to Italy with a markup, before shipping to South Africa and another markup. What should cost only about R100 and not at Vespa's R500 for rear brake pads, really.
