George Clooney incurred minor injuries recently when a Mercedes made a left turn in front of him in Sardinia. He is banged up, and will be needing a new scooter. He was wearing a helmet, to his credit. It is on all the news outlets, but TMZ seemed to have the best pics. Speedy recovery, George.

I am a political opposite of George, but I enjoy his movies.

Donald would never approve that plan.He would insisted on using an American made pickup truck, as he hates Mercedes these days.

mjsfoto1956,
Can you post a nice, big pic of your avatar scooter? It's simply one of THE best-looking rides I've seen!

Here is a before/after comparison. ![](https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/917/43133977962_1a213bcd2c_o_d.jpg) and here is a link to download the high-res photo: N.B. Lot's of little enhancements aren't obvious in the above photo. I plan on doing a video "walk around" later this summer -- just need a sweet location (and a video gimbal) to pull it off.

You want to know what fries my cookies? The headlines read "Clooney suffers MOTORCYCLE Accident". Why are motorcycles getting the credit? Scooters are as dangerous as a motorcycle. Scooters deserve as much credit for hazardousness. Maybe more.

That may have something to do with translation from Italian to English.

Scooters deserve as much credit for hazardousness. Maybe more. Absolutely! Have a bone! Since most scooters do not have the "escape" acceleration of a big bike, they are also more "vulnerable" to the "Easy Rider Syndrome"... So, ah, well... They're probably MORE dangerous than motorcycles... I've ridden both now for nearly 60 years, and I promise you that you can mess yourself up EQUALLY well on EITHER one... Yup... So RIDE SAFE!

Hey, thanks!I can see the little things... Details make the ride! Red, black and yellow are THE most striking color combinations to be had. You did a nice job on that scoot! Enjoy the ride, and, RIDE SAFE!Leo in Texas
