Pet Names for UR Buddy

pcbikedude · Post by **pcbikedude** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 3:14 pm

I notice on several different threads that some of us have pet names for our Buddys.

Confess what are they?

I haven't had mine long enough to think of one yet. What would you name a red Buddy with a windshield and gets cover with a BBQ grill cover every night

?

How about Spit Fire! Like a BBQ spit, and it is red and fast like fire.

I haven't formally named my scoot, but when I think about it in affectionate terms, I call it "Li'l Buddy," with thoughts of Gilligan and the Skipper.

I actually named mine "Gilligan". Considering custom plate "MNOW"

Ooh! Can I borrow/steal that idea?

If nobody else in MD already has it, that is . . .

Budd.

I'm thinking about a center stand circumcision if I keep scraping the dang thing on hard left turns.

sorry but the side stand does not cut it, the one time I used it shortly after I got the buddy..the bike fell over...

I don't have a buddy. I have a mojito.

She is called the "rum-runner". You use Rum to make a Mojito, and the Rum-Runners of the prohibition were very fast.

I'm not thinking of removing the center stand, just modifying the way it's operated. The nice big extention that makes it easy to put on the stand has almost bounced the back wheel out from under me a couple of times. I can work a little harder to put it on the stand; I'm a grown up.

Whenever I've parked mine at a store, I've used the side stand and never had it fall over. Of course, I've only had mine a couple of weeks....

Geez, Elm Creek! Ever consider taking a little wider turn?

Keys · Post by **Keys** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 11:22 pm

Bite your tongue, Pugbuddy!! The quickness around corners is one of the most appealing aspects of Buddy-ism!!! My club-mates were amazed at the degree of lean I can get on the Buddy in the canyons without cracking up.

My Buddy is Waluigi. Why? I guess I'm a nerd.

My Buddy's name is "Sting" -- I have some silver scorpion decals (they're small but powerful), and as soon as I get up the nerve to put them on, I'll post pics!

("Sting" is also a nod to LOTR & Bilbo's sword)

i wonder how you would go about doing that. i'm always surprised when i hit it and afraid it will affect my turn someday.

I named mine Go-Go, as in "go go gadget scooter!", but most people think it is from Kill Bill.

Yeah, my centerstand has a ton of scrapes on it. Same for the header on the pipe. I guess we can't remove it.

My Buddy is nicknamed Sonny--sunset orange and it was my Dad's nickname--but I rarely use it. I need to start using it more often so it sticks.

I know it's not that original, but mine is Big Red.

My red Buddy is named Liberty and will soon be decked out with patriotic flags, decals, etc. My husband's black Buddy is Bucky and he's going to have the name painted on the side below the seat.

I was just kidding--I swear!

My sister calls her Buddy "Buddy Dash", but I have yet to come up with a nickname.

My scoot calls himself Buddy Love

lobsterman · Post by **lobsterman** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 2:41 pm

When I first got mine last year I used to greet it when I walked into the garage by saying "Hey Boo Boo!" as a nod to the PGO name for it.

Now I usually say "hey Buddy" if I say anything at all. Not really a name so much as a greeting. Mostly my scooter gets called "my scooter" when I refer to it. My wife calls my scooter "your scooter".

amberlapp21 · Post by **amberlapp21** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 3:17 pm

That's so cute, I always greet my Buddy when I walk into the garage. However, when I'm talking to my friends or anyone about my scooter, I call it a cooter. I don't know, just something I've always said, even before I owned one. Instead of playing slug bug, we would just yell COOTER whenever we saw someone on a scooter.

Post by **polianarchy** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 4:12 pm

Mine's Pinky Tuscadero, Leather's sister and Fonzie's girlfriend from Happy Days. I moved the name over from my pink bicycle when I bought my scooter. My bike's name is now Persephone, because I retrieved her from ghetto-a$$ Point Breeze (the Underworld) when she was stolen. *le sigh*

My red & white Honda is called "Archie" It came to us already named I liked it.........always read Archie comics as a kid.
The plate reads SLW00 purely by chance, but it fits....

I have a secret Identity as the Mascot of the University of Oregon. The school refers to the Duck as... you guessed it, "Puddles". My Buddy has a custom plate PUDDLS. So naturally, thats what I call my Buddy!
