Half as impressive as siobahn, but I finally had a camera at the right time!

That's still 11,111 times what I had on it when I first got it!

It's now apparent I need to polish the plastic speedo cover... anybody know the best way to do that?

Finally, I got around to posting this.

If it helps any, that honestly looks like it's just a drastic lighting issue between the two photos. Beyond that...maybe a soft cloth used dry?

I like you still have the bubble wrap in the second photo Krusty. Can't get much newer than that

And here I thought I was the only one who thought of strange things like taking pictures of numbers of milage!

Rolled over 6k on my way home tonight, but didn't have the camera with me.

I'm right behind ya KB. I should roll 6k miles today or tomorrow. Unfortunately I am at work this morning building (the photos) for an annual report for a health care facility. Right now it is 60 deg outside with an 11 mph northerly breeze. I NEED to ride today to destress.

Posted: **Sat Aug 22, 2009 7:27 pm**

Holy cow, 60 degrees?! It's still summer here.

Hey Krusty, or anyone. I highly recommend Novus brand of plastic polish. Their No. 1 plastic cleaner an polish is what I used when I worked in a picture framing shop and had to clean plexiglass. It works well, is easy to do without streaks. I would use a cotton cloth with it, old cotton t-shirts work well. They also have a no. 2 and a no. 3 which are more abrasive for scratch removal. They used to sell it at the container store, but I have also seen it at motorcycle shops.

Posted: **Sat Aug 22, 2009 11:52 pm**

I had to ride 60 miles today to hit it. I needed the de-stressing.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 4:17 am**

Brand new tonight!

Of course, don't you?? Perhaps you don't understand... the real fun in riding a scooter is going to the gas station ever 30 minutes, and showing off to everyone that it only costs $1 to fill your tank.

No, I was just on my way home, and filled up with gas before I got there, I think it's so annoying to have to go to the gas station BEFORE I want to head out.

Heres one i took some time last fall

My Screen glows like that a night when I put absinthe in the gas tank...

LOL does it also make it go faster too?? Dont blow yourself up!

No, it grows wings. And the head light shines red. =)

this happened just as I pulled into my driveway yesterday

Posted: **Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:28 pm**

and this happened today - had to take a lap around the block to get it perfect...

Posted: **Wed Sep 23, 2009 11:40 am**

still rollin...

Posted: **Wed Oct 14, 2009 3:07 am**

What are the odds I'd have my camera with me tonight?

Posted: **Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:50 pm**

I haven't been riding like I used to, as I've been sick off and on all summer. Sigh. But! I've been riding in this Nor'easter, and it's madness. MADNESS! It's actually kinda invigorating.

Posted: **Fri Oct 16, 2009 4:13 pm**

Guess it's raining everywhere!

I was beginning to think I was the only one playing this game anymore

Guess who hit 9K on this morning's commute?

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2010 12:17 am**

Took the long way home to get it to land on this right as I pulled up to the house!

Posted: **Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:36 am**

Probably the only time I'll be stopped with the odo reading this neatly...and I remember I have a camera, that is.

Posted: **Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:05 am**

Over 12 & half K on a 2009, I'm impressed.

Just weights and springs. 1500 rpm clutch and main springs. I originally went with 11g sliders, have 12g right now, but might be going back to 11g.

Posted: **Wed Mar 17, 2010 8:24 am**

I just hit the magic 1000! Now I just need to get my first service taken care of. Yes, I know.... bad bad bad C2.

Nobody is. I was at one time, but that was a couple years ago when I traded off my Buddy.

Well I am sure these get old but I too hit 1k this week... actually over 1100 as we speak. Weather has turned and I am riding like crazy for almost everything. Have tripled the miles of the two previous owners which over 2 1/2 years was like 460, AND I got it in Sept as a gift right after the 500 mile checkup so did ride during winter. And thanks to the MB community here I have done most excellent mods to lights and such because of your wonderful tutorials and input!

Posted: **Fri Mar 26, 2010 10:51 pm**

Not the 14K Howard has in Tucson (although I can't think of a better place to ride that many miles!) yet we just hit 1K in Dallas today on our St Tropez!

The sun is shining and looking like an awesome weekend coming up!

Posted: **Sat Apr 03, 2010 5:36 am**

I was hoping to stop at 6/10ths but I had a SUV on my tailpipe. I'd have a straight if I was playing poker!

Newbie here: My wife and I picked up our Buddy 125's on Friday. She got pink, I got tangerine. I swung into the mall to snap this pic on our first outing. So far having a blast! I'll post an official introduction later.
