I am already far away from Brisbane. We don't have these cool things in Sydney + student's budget is not helping either. :) But yeah, I imagine having your own scooter is awesome! And the thing is becoming so popular these days, and they can go soooo fast.
I'm busy spending money on hiking/camping equipment and searching a bicycle at the moment (and secretly want to buy some camera that has some great discount... nothing at this moment.) :( scooter is very low on my priority list :)
