Ms X and the red scooter

I know that everyone back home will be devastated to hear that Katrina the red scooter (what! Everybody names their scooters! … no I’m not getting lonely!) was involved in a collision with a high kerb outside a supermarket this week.
At the time we weren’t sure if she was going to make it: the front forks were twisted out of place… she was lying cold on the floor covered in mud. I tried twice to revive her, but she kept rolling back on her side.
Luckily a local couple noticed her distress and rode quickly to the nearest mechanic. He came sprinting onto the carpark with all the heroic grace and style of David Hassehoff. As soon as I saw him, my heart leapt; she was going to be OK.

We all followed as the mechanic moved her to his workshop. He said that he would have to keep her overnight and that only in the morning would we know what her chances were. It was a sleepless night for everyone involved. Possibly the longest night since I’ve been in Taiwan. The next day I returned to the workshop. Oh happy day! There she was outside on the roadside; weak but very much alive and on the road to recovery. I thanked the mechanic and he said something in Chinese… then I rode home; forever indebted to Mr Mechanic

Now some of you are probably wondering how the scooter hit the kerb in the first place.
Well generous Dunx was letting someone practice on his scooter before buying their own. But it’s been an emotional time so to save on any more unnecessary embarrassment or trauma; we shall call the rider Ms X.
Here's a song about Miss X.

I know a girl called xxxxx
In scooters she saw terror; everyday.
Took her for a spin
Let her do the drivin; she was ok

Then wow she hit a wall
Didn’t see it coming at all
I just saw her fall and ran

She got up and walked away
The Gods it seemed had heard me pray: that night
Relieved to see that she was fine
She asked to drive it one more time: said alright

But wow; the scooter won’t go
The front wheel looks awfully low
Looks like we’re walking home, tonight

Hey xxxxx don’t you cry
Better to hit the kerb than a passerby
Hey xxxxx let me see you smile
Everybody crashes once in a while
Don’t you worry about a thing
That scooter needed a servicing
Wipe that mud off your face
You can share my happy place
Hey xxxxx drink your milky tea
A smile from you’s all I wanna see
