S'not me, but which campus are you talking about? OLLU? StMU? UTSA 1604? UIW? etc. etc.

It's back. Must be somebody who works in the same building.

NBR... but we were at the Grand Canyon last week and saw a Metropolitan chain up behind a shop. Apparently it belonged to someone who works at the park... I should have taken a picture... darn

Light blue Buddy heading eastbound on Washington Blvd in Culver City. Rider was wearing a white helmet with an orange (I think) stripe. Looked good!

Hadn't seen a Buddy in my neighborhood in a while. I finally saw a Pamplona tonight around 7:30 going south on Rowena Ave near the Edendale Grill.

Orange buddy, Wednesday, 3/25 around 6:30pm headed north on North Main St (Providence). Female rider wearing cut-off sweatpants...it was cold!

Same night (7:20-ish) saw a red buddy with a white milkcrate at the 4-way stop on Wickenden & Hope Streets near Tokyo (my St Tropez and friend's Met were parked on the corner as we munched on sushi).

I go to the East Side, I see Buddies.

I drove all the way downtown to a scooter shop that sells Givi cases and all the way back, and the only Buddy I spotted was a fleeting glimpse of a red Buddy riding east on Jenkins in front of Tektronix just as I was getting back to work (1:30pm).

I was very tempted to chase them down to say "hi"!

A ModernVespa member in Hollywood said she's seeing them all over, all the time.

My first Buddy sighting!

A pink one (whoohoo) was parked outside of a local college coffee shop last night. I was so excited I forgot to look if it was a 50 or 125.

dsmith65 · Post by **dsmith65** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 4:08 pm

Wouldn't it have been funny if it was your old 50?

Saw my first honest to goodness "owned" one parked in Sunnyvale, CA at Lockheed-Martin, out in front of bld. 157. Jealous....

Orange Buddy with a orange matching topcase headed North on Scottsdale Road near the ASU in Scottsdale AZ.

I am on vacation in Phoenix and thought it was neat to see a fellow scooterist.

Was it someone from the boards?

Sounds like your Buddy has a buddy. But keep an eye on them, or you might end up with a litter of little Buddies on your hands...

A black and silver Buddy south bound on Burnet just before noon on the 28th.

And I parked next to a red Rattler at the Hancock HEB this morning.

alexnick · Post by **alexnick** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:46 am

I was heading East on Grant road driving my Kymco Cobra to a friend who was buying it and I notice a Cream Buddy pull up behind me. Turns out it's an 06 just like the one I had back at home! We chatted, and I mentioned Modern Buddy to him.

An Italia turning east on Guadalupe from southbound Price at 1:00pm today.

Spotted a brand new MP3 500 around Boulders and Hull St.

Oh wait...........That is me

Yay!!!!! I got a new scoot!!!!

Do you think DMV will let me get "FN B3ST" for a license plate?

Becktastic · Post by **Becktastic** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:33 pm

There was an Italia parked next to my Buddy in front of Providence Institute yesterday

I think we have a new scooterist in our plaza!!

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:29 pm

We weren't in FL, it was the Big Easy Weekender in New Orleans... However that particular one belonged to a nice chick from Atlanta.

loodieboy · Post by **loodieboy** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 8:50 pm

Wow, the buddies are out in force in Cincy! Black w/ white seat and checkerboard cowl last night at Hyde Park Plaza around 6:30 p. Orange westbound today on 5th around 4:20 p (Love Wins), and Italia northbound on Elm around 4:30 p. I am sooo jealous (recovering from back surgery).

Becktastic · Post by **Becktastic** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 10:16 pm

I crossed paths with an Italia around Prince and Tucson this morning on my way to the gym

White helmet if I recall correctly.

Becktastic · Post by **Becktastic** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:24 pm

Apparently I was spotted the other day! Shelby (our local Buddy dealer) was saying someone came in to look at scooters and mentioned seeing "this girl on a light blue one of these all the time, with big white boots and the whole nine yards. She's quite a sight!"

Post by **ericalm** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 12:37 am

Toluca Lake/Burbank spotting: Series Italia on Riverside Blvd., just moments ago. Rider had a FF helmet with a silver star on the side (KBC, I think).

Orange Buddy this afternoon headed East on Speedway. Male rider with a black 3/4 helmet.

The checkerboard bike is Stemer's bike. He is a MB member. There are tons of Buddies in the Nati.

While at a gas station in OB this morning in my Riviera, an Italia pulled up. I spoke to the rider, Eric (? - not good with names at first), and told him I had a St. Tropez. We talked and I mentioned Modern Buddy. He hadn't heard of us and I told him what a great place it is to get all kinds of info on Buddys and scooter info in general. He said he'd look in. We may soon have a new member.

alexnick · Post by **alexnick** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 1:35 am

I saw an Italia with a female rider speed past me west on Broadway around 11:30 as I was turning in to The Taco Shop after a show at The Rock. Said hi but she didn't hear

Failed to see a Voodoo ORANGE Buddy on our group ride out to Multnomah Falls today!

I posted a couple of pics I took over in the "Ride to the Falls" thread in the meetups section of this site.

I didn't get done with my gig till 12:30, though I thought about using my Voodoo powers to catch up.

Black buddy, white helmet, riding on 8th Ave. in Park Slope, Brooklyn. (I was parking my red buddy.)

UnionZac · Post by **UnionZac** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 7:21 pm

I was just in San Francisco last week. It is scooter city! Awesome. I saw 2 zombie bloods, an off-white, a black and silver, and a pamplona. I have to give you all credit, that city must tax your skills whenever you are riding.

Sunday 4/13 on Sepulveda Blvd in El Segundo heading towards Manhattan Beach. Black Buddy 125. I was excited to see one as Buddy sightings are so few and far between here. I honked, turned around and gave him wave at the stop light...

nuttin'... looked at me like I was crazy... WTF????

Becktastic · Post by **Becktastic** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 12:04 am

Spotted another light blue buddy around Grant and Country Club this morning. I see this guy a lot at the same intersection. We must have the same work schedule
