problem with scooters

So its hot. Not as hot as last week where it was high 90s. but still comfortably warm. This means I get to ride my yamaha black and purple scooter with my white CHiPs style hat. Oh so stylin. Anyway riding the scooter is fun. I don't have to get in a hot car and nearly pass out. Gosh do I miss garages or tree covered parking. though sometimes its an adventure to ride the scooter if there is a sudden down pour or a strong wind. The one problem is traffic lights. Me + scooter does not equal enough weight to trip the traffic light. Hence, I sometimes have to wait patiently and pray that another car will pull up, to trip the light. If its late at night and there are no cars, I have to sometimes live on the wild side, and proceed against the traffic signal. Don't worry Dad I check all ways before proceeding.
