The Chronic Consumer

My husband is in the market for a new scooter. We bought a used one about a year ago to help reduce fuel consumption and costs back when gas prices were skyrocketing. But it was only a 50cc model that was good for short trips to the store and what not. Now Jerry wants a bigger scooter, one that’s practically a motorcycle and can carry two people, reach higher speeds, etc.

As we were looking around at the different products, we came across this picture of Brad Pitt riding a Yamaha scooter with Angelina Jolie in tow. With all the kids they have, you’d think they’d take safety a bit more seriously and put a helmet on. Or maybe they’ve already got the best motorcycle accident lawyers Los Angeles has to offer on retainer so they don’t have to worry about things like that. Still, it’s not a very good example to set for others!

Anyway, Jerry is leaning towards a Suzuki at this point. I’m not sure what model name is, but it looks similar to the Yamaha that Brad’s riding. Personally, I don’t think it matters much which one we buy. I mean, how different can one scooter be from another?
