Right up to the top of the Full mark, or right up to the top of the dipstick?

Syd

The seating position of the Blur is very different from the Vespa; more bent over, sport bike like. Depending on how long each GTS has sat, I'd take the one with the most miles, if it's running.

It may be blocked now!

If you do go the used Vespa route, make sure the seller can provide you a complete service history. You're rarely going to get this. Alternatively: buy a Vespa at a price that bakes in the expectation that you'll have to do a lot of maintenance on it immediately. Fluids, belt, tires, brake pads - p...

Syd's comment about checking the Kill-Switch is so funny and true. It has to be the first thing to check. More than once I've been baffled why the scooter won't start, and sure enough, the kill-switch had been turned on, either by another rider who thought that was the way to stop the engine, or by...

Syd

Heritage Smeritage (

) The GTS is just a better scoot. Get the GTS.

Syd

You have to do something special when you turn 100,000! Any plans? I might try to get a video of it rolling over, plus lots of pictures. Then I might go for a ride. After that I have a lot of maintenance and repairs to do. The bad part is the owner's manual doesn't have the 100,000 service recommen...

Syd

Looks like the OP is gone. Maybe she didn't like our answers?

Syd

I gotta ask: Kill switch?

Syd

For $2700 you can buy a 2021 Buddy 125 at Hidden Power Cycle Clinic. Don't buy that scoot.

Syd

I am still in the Genuine Cruiser camp. Phil is gone, long live Phil!

I wonder if the cruiser was Phil's undoing?

Syd

Oh no, you're not supposed to find that!

Syd

I wish Honda would bring the SH300 to US.

Haven't read this thread for a while. Nice roads around the Quabbin. Grew up in Worcester County.

Syd

Several (quite a few?) members here have had their Buddy stolen at home. Lock it up to something there.

Syd

Long heavy chainthrough both wheels, crossed over the step through, with a just-big-enough lock. If theft at college is a problem, make the chain really heavy.

Syd

I'd get a cigarette lighter to USB charger and do what you need.

Syd

Nice scoot, vintagegarage!

Syd

Been eyeballing this one for a few weeks now. Apparently the trunk is heated! I usually just put my pizza on the floorboard, but damn, this is the way to go. :wink: This would appear to be a 50cc bike but they come in a 150cc displacement as well. https://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/mcy/d/lafayette-t...

Syd

Anybody want a small displacement classic? This one's dreamy.

Not sure why trikes catch my eye, but look at this baby!

Maybe it came this way, I don't know.

What are your plans for it? Restoration or leave it as is? It would look great restored and sitting in the living room. With plants all around it.:) I would like to get it running :D . Get the crank repaired, lube, etc. Only then would I think of resto. Oh, it won't end up in the house. I have been...

Honestly, it's pretty rough, but I smile when I see it, so that's good.

Syd

Since you turn by countersteering, youe Buddy headlight doesn't point where you are going, anyway. We need a headlamp that turns when we lean.

Syd

I thought so too, so I bought it!

Oh well,

You could go anywhere on this two-wheel drive motorcycle. The Rokon.

Love the headlights on these bikes!

Try your local auto parts store.

Syd

Genuine Cruiser FTW!

Syd

I remember the Peace Ride. Can't wait to read the 'Zine's next issue!

Syd

Good on you, jrsjr. I was a little surprised to see a post about kick scooters, but they are called scooters.

If someone posts about mobility scooters, ban 'em.

Syd

Several people have run Buddys in the Scooter Cannonball http://scootercannonballrun.com/.
Many of those have finished. Some of the roads you won't be fast. but your Buddy should make it.

Syd

Welcome to Modern Buddy, Ron. Buddy Raton's right, we like pictures.

Syd

Looks like the OP didn't like the answers he got.

Syd

Maybe, just maybe that paint will keep the average criminal from stealing it.

Syd

Gobo, The RA. Here's my first impressions. I am loosely basing this off a comparison to my other scoots. My daily commuter is a Vespa GT200 and I have a 4T Stella and a BlackJack. The RA is an awesome 150 scoot. It's feels tall and wide. I'm a bigger rider so this is comfy for me. May be a little s...

Just to wrap this up, I bought an Oxford waxed cotton jacket. Understated and retro cool - well, actually, it's really warm.

Vintage, second hand? Or new London Fog?

Syd

"I believe that it only needs fuel lines cleaned out and possibly new battery."

Famous last words.

Syd

As they say, pictures or it didn't happened.

Syd

There's also a Vespa in the background, next to the Buddy.

Syd

Have you looked at this Zombie Blood 125?

Syd

Pack rats, or small squirrels, I imagine. Cap your exhaust next winter.

Syd

Who's shaming?

Syd

I have long arms, so no Corazzo jackets fit my arms. All have fit my chest fine. Unless you too have long arms, get the size that fits.
