New Kid in Town - Hello Everyone!

IcingPrincess · Post by **IcingPrincess** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 1:10 am

I everyone! I just got my new to me (used 2008 with under 1,000 miles) Buddy Thursday (8/18), my temps on Saturday, started riding on Sunday and got my first tag (Worldwide Scooter Tag) today!

My husband was with me (he rides a red Vespa) and took the pictures. I'm excited to be here (and not a cupcake) - but will ride cupcake if it is dark, or a very long ride... still working on stamina - and getting that license.

Hope to learn lots from all of you - and maybe someday - contribute as well.

Keep on scooterin'!

Congratulations and welcome aboard! You gotta love the 125 Buddy! Now get out there and take that MSF course.

Welcome to MB, IcingPrincess. Nice tag. Now where to find an angel outside of a cemetary?

Those were in front of a house, but churches... cemetery... wherever you can find an angel! Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks everybody! I'd LOVE to take the MSF course, however the darned thing is sold out before it opens! THEN, to top it off, a certain age group (ok I'm not of that group) gets preference for walk-ins - even if I'm there first and paying (ugh)... but not to worry, whether I get my license by test or by taking the course - I'll still take the course when I can get in.

Yeah - was nervous, but definitely learning to love my 125! Been a cupcake for far too long I guess...

Pssst! Van Buren, just West of the I-17. Old state cemetery right in the middle of a Catholic-heavy neighbourhood. Amazing place with tons of iconography! Just the place.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Yes, congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of scooting.

What's this that a certain age group gets preference over the "overflow" line? Is it a government run MSF course (public school)? If it is, I'd gently question that policy... as anyone, no matter what their age, can get up early and get in line!

Welcome! I, too, have a seafoam green '08. I like to think that the green ones are the luckiest!
