Modern Buddy

I've seen you out there. Sportique seems to be moving alot of Buddy's and I was just wondering how many local Buddy owners have made it to this forum. If theres enough of you out there maybe we could have some sort of rally or form a scooter gang. Winter is coming so lets do something befor its too damn cold!

Yes -- lets have a rally soon -- I'm moving away in a couple of weeks!

Hi there! Me and my husband both own Buddys.

well it would seem that some sort of ride/rally is in order! I assume that a saturday works for everyone? Maybe 2 weeks or so weather permiting? I guess we could all meet at sportique, then some sort of ride around downtown/GOG/Old Colorado city/Manitou Springs with a stop for lunch somewhere and maybe a beer afterwards. Let me know what you'd be interested in doing and I'll plan some thing.

Hi Shane- Saturday generally works for us. Let us know which date works best for you- Those places all sound good. My personal fav is GOG followed by Manitou.

Sat oct 28th work for everyone? I'm thinking 10ish at sportique then around town. Havn't thought of a route yet as I want to see if the date works for everyone. Let me know.

Cheers!

Shane

28th sounds good for us.

I should be able to swing the 28th.

So, because I'm kind of an idiot, I forgot a prior obligation (in reality its the denver bike swap) and was wondering if this coming saturday, the 21st, works for everyone. My plan, meet at Ravens Nest Coffee at 10 am at the corner of Boulder and Institute, http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ad ... &geodiff=1
(mapquest map shows it closer to platte, but trust me its on Boulder) We'll have a coffee and a meet and greet, then from the coffee shop, head through downtown and Old Colorado City on Colorado Blvd to GOG. Take the back entrance to GOG and make a complete lap around the park back twoards old Colorado City and Manitou. Drive through Manitou up to the Cog, pull a U and head back through Manitou and Old Colorado City back to downtown with a stop for lunch somewhere. Thinking someplace like the Dale Street Cafe or Wooligans Deli by the college on the north end of Tejon but I'm certanly open to other suggestions. Then a ride down Tejon or Nevada to intimidate old ladies and children with our bad ass scooter gang to our offical ending at sportique. We can have an un-offical ending at Jack Quinn or South Side Jonny's (I've noticed bikers hanging out there on Saturdays.) The Wife and I have done a very similar ride for a total of 3-4 hours depending on traffic, weather and service at where ever we stop for lunch. Slow easy ride on city surface streets, all rider levels welcome. Come for new friends and fun! Post or PM me to RSVP. If the weathers good the Wife and I will be there weather or not anybody else shows up.
Cheers!

It sounds great but I may have to work this Saturday. I hope I don't have to though.

I fly to San Antonio this weekend. I'm out.

Okay, well I feel like a total ass for flaking out on you guys. Shall we plan something for Nov. 11? The wife and I will still be going out this weekend (weather permiting) but if it works lets have our first "official" ride on the 11th.

Shane

It's not a problem. We still may be able to make it (if I don't have to work, and weather permitting). My husband asked if he could invite another person to go. He rides a non-Buddy scooter
The 11th sounds fine to me.

Sure, the more the merrier.

Looks like we'll have to wait till the 11th then. Weather calls for 60% chance snow/rain continuing through Sat night. Invite your friends or other scooterists you see on the street. Untill then, happy scootering!
Cheers!
Shane

Yeah, I was not happy to read the forecast. Boo. We're looking forward to the 11th.

Hello,

I was considering buying a Blur or a Rattler (which still has not come out), but ended up with a different scooter when I got tired of waiting for the Blur to arrive at dealers. The people on this forum seem like great people. I'm in Colorado Springs, and would like to tag along on your Nov. 11th ride if that's OK. I'm a nice guy, I promise ! :^)

Thanks,
Lorrin

Still planing on meeting on the 11th, everyone still inerested?

As long as there is no snow on the road...

Lorrin (Non-Buddy owner)

As long as no snow or precip.

Husband has to work tonite so we'll see if we're up to it tomorrow.

also posted on modern vespa and got some interst there. Hope you show, should be a good time.

Just wanted to make sure that the current plan is still the one above where we meet at Raven's Nest at 10:00 AM, right?

Thanks,
Lorrin

Yes, unless it decides to snow between now and then, this is Colorado after all.

I'm right around the corner. A bit under the weather but I might still be able to make it for a cup of joe.

Have fun you all! Let us know how the ride went

Sorry we didn't make it, but hope you had fun.

We had a great time. I'll try to post some pics and a full report later! Sorry you missed out, hopefully next time.
