I spent a hundred bucks at the Winn Dixie on Big Pine and faced the arduous task of hauling my groceries home four miles by Vespa.
They tell us we need an SUV to get the family moved around to and from it's various obligations, but I say leave the Labrador at home when it's 93 degrees outside and take the Vespa instead. Who needs four wheels?
While my wife is away I get to play with her scooter. It would have been too easy on the freshly refurbished Bonneville which came home this week after a do-over of brakes, tires and fluids. The Vespa does just fine on the Overseas Highway and even on this trip we managed to startle, over loaded as we were, a distracted cager who was pootling along and admiring the scenery.
I had to pass, as the popsicles were melting and speed was of the essence. You don't have to live in Old Town to take advantage of scooting but a motorcycle endorsement and a 150cc are recommended to take on highway traffic.

I also Vespa shop, ride to work, the dentist, doctor and so forth. People are amazed I can fit a weeks groceries on my scoot (300 GTS Super) plus a twelve pack of whatever flavor beer strikes me. Park the Jeep I say. There's no better way to get around.

I was in a wine mood Friday but Boddington's fits in the top case when needed.
As long as it is not grocery shopping for a bigger crowd, I am happy to do it with my Vespa. As for power, in the city my 200cc is way enough to escape the lame SUV's, at least when lights turn green and they haven't realised yet what just passed them...
