Hey all! I just saw my first, for real up close and personal, Buddy Italia 150. And it's mine!
Saturday the hubby and I drove down to Scooterville in Minneapolis and picked up my Italia! I've been wanting a scooter for a while. Did a bunch of research and decided on the Buddy. Only problem.....no North Dakota dealer! Rats. Road trip!
Took advantage of the long weekend for a trip down combined with our first camping trip of spring.
I'm home now and Sophia is in the garage. The both of us are waiting for the rain to stop so we can get aquainted.

We were on a blue GT200 and a red GTS250 and a yellow MP3 500 if you saw scoots.
Buddy Boop - I PMd you but for some reason those get hung up in the outbox for a day (sometimes) if you're not a member of the San Diego meet up group, check the section on rallies and meet-ups here. I posted the link to the info for this Saturday's ride. It's 24 scoots strong and it's gonna be FUN!

Messages stay in the Outbox until they're read by the recipient. There's a glitch that causes things to hang there, sometimes, though.

If it was an Italia I wonder if it wasn't my friend Jessica Sendra - she's a dj over at EMU and scoots to and from A2 to do it.Tomboy.for.Equality wrote:On 5/20 at about 5:30PM I saw an Italia or St. Tropez (hard to distinguish with my smoke colored shield) with a female driver heading east on Washtenaw in Ann Arbor. Thanks for the wave.

I have seen two new buddys, in the last month, in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. I gave them the Buddy wave.

Pink Buddy with a basked on the front. This morning on Laurel Canyon near Oxnard in North Hollywood. I've seen a couple pink Buds in the area before, but not this one.
As I frequently say, DFW was a scooterless wasteland when I lived there. Now it seems like they're all over. I'd love go go back and ride around my old haunts on a scoot!BuddyDave wrote:I have seen two new buddys, in the last month, in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. I gave them the Buddy wave.

I started riding scooters about six years ago here in Philly. Had an Italjet back then. And all I would ever see was the occasional Vespa, Vino and a Metropolitan here and there. Well that was then and now, I can't leave my South Philly house without see multiple Buddies! They're everywhere! Seriously, no exaggeration. I'm a Roughy rider myself but I love to see more and more of my fellow scooterists out there! Keep em' comin' to Philly Genuine!

i saw an orange buddy 125 on rte 360 a.k.a. hull st in chesterfield at around 5:15pm
then a different orange 125 (or the same one after the rider of the first one changed his helmet and jacket) on nansemond near patterson in the city of richmond a little before 6pm
it was cool seeing the one on hull. even though it looked like he was slowing traffic down there are plenty of lanes. and now i am more comfortable riding on that road to mah new daytime gig.
rock on

I don't know what it is, but I've NEVER seen a Buddy that I hadn't set out to see (group rides or friends I'm riding with) here in the 804. It's just plain weird. I'm going to have to start traveling further out, I guess.

Saw one of only two local white Buddys on San Fernando Blvd. in Glendale tonight around 10 or later. May be the same one I've seen before in Burbank area.

In Richmond, I'm forever seeing the guy on the checkerboard metermaid-looking scooter wearing a red mohawk helmet. There's also a girl who rides an older white-and-green 50cc scooter. I see quite a few people on Forest Hill and in the Carytown area - saw my first pink Buddy last week parked on Boulevard.

Maybe it's because I had to go four towns over and over 50 miles to get my Rat, but I have seen not one buddy or Genuine scooter for that matter but my own. I've seen a few Vespas, Metros, Baccios,quite a few no name Chinese. I looked on the map and I think there's one MB member within 50 miles of me. There's a few in florida but mostly east coast and Northern, one day i will see a buddy oh yess I will!
