Motorcycle Mama!

We were at Sam's club and saw a scooter and a custom motorcycle sitting on the way out. We looked and were amazed at how cheap the scooters were running. $750 to $1,700. Grammy has always talked about how she would like to have a scooter to run around on and save on Gas, etc! Well we left not thinking much else about it and on the way home we see this other scooter store and so we turned around and went in. They were selling a 250 for $2025 out the door and a 150 for $1250 out the door. Plus 1/2 off dealer prep if purchased by Monday. So Grammy says she would like to have it and she has saved enough money to buy one so I want her to be happy and say Yes! It gets 90 mpg and can get up to 50 - 55 mph tops. So no Interstate but around here driving back and forth to work and quick trips to the store for a couple of items it makes sense. Plus if we get the job in San Diego it would come in real handy! At first Grammy was worried about driving it home, so I drove it home. Now after getting her helmet on and driving around the neighborhood she loves it! It has a storage area under the seat and hold just 1 1/2 gallons of gas. There also is two small compartments under the console near where your knee's are. Now, why the impulse? She has always wanted one and if gas prices go back up over $4 a gallon as many experts say it will, this will come in handy. I know what about winter? Well there are many days where the weather is nice and there is no snow or ice. Anyway you should have seen the grin on her face as she came back in from riding it around the area. Wow! Happy Lady! She deserves it!
What can I say it fits her! I have added a back cargo trunk!
