Yup. I was back on the horse 2 days after my crash last week.

Weird coincidence: my wife and I used to ride 50cc Hondas, a Metropolitan and Ruckus respectively. We frequently noticed another Metropolitan parked in front of a local restaurant delivery service.

This month we picked up a Buddy Pamplona for her and a BlackJack for me. And... now we see a Pamplona parked in front of that same delivery service instead!

Creepy!

Wow. Some alternate dimension version of your wife snuck into our dimension and got a job there. Beware, she may look just like your wife but is probably evil. And if she and your wife ever meet, the universe may cease to exist.

Speaking of alternate dimensions: here's a shout out to the pink Buddy I see parked next to a powder blue Vespa LX 150 on 5th & Moore in Sowfilleffya. Remind y'all of any two we know?

Hahahhaaa

Yeah, he wanted to go for a ride before she gets totally torn apart to make her look pretty.

Why do people always catch him riding her and not me

Did you notice he did get his own helmet? So he is all black and gold now.

Saw a pink Buddy turning onto Commercial St. in Neenah about 5:15 pm today. Didn't get a close enough look to see if it was a 50 or 125. Saw dozens of scooters today, more than motorcycles.

Lastyearsyou · Post by **Lastyearsyou** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:09 am

Last week I saw an Orange Buddy in Marathon, FL (part of the Florida Keys). Didn't see a single Genuine in Key West though

Should I think it's bizarre that such a scooter-filled community as Gainesville, FL has no presence on Modern Buddy? Am I the only Gator here? I am putting down the deposit on mine tomorrow

. Solano Cycle will have to order my orange 50 as they only have a seafoam in stock. Pics will follow soon.

Saw a St. Tropez parked in the 15th Street parking deck across the street from the Woodruff Arts Center on Tuesday the 14th.

Black Buddy 50 and a male rider with matching full-face helmet coming out of Trader Joes in Foggy Bottom, DC. I asked him for the roadside assistance number... he suggested calling information. But then, I did chase after him outside the parking garage

so today [thursday], I parked on campus at UTSA in the motorcycle parking near Chisholm Hall and found an Italia parked there! I left that person a note saying he/she should join MB if they haven't already

Post by **polianarchy** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:25 pm

Welcome to the forum, Lastyearsyou!

There's quite a few Floridians here, but I do not recall if any are from G-ville specifically. Check the Rallies/Events forum for some Florida & Gulf Coast rides.

Orange Buddy at Gaston & La Vista on Thursday 4/16 around 6pm. I was in my truck so I didn't honk.

Kaos · Post by **Kaos** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 12:32 am

Guy on an Italia in a black hoodie on Sunnyside Rd around noon.

I was the guy a few cars back in the loud yellow station wagon.

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 3:21 am

Saw another scooty today, it was like a Tank classic or something, I couldn't tell if it was a guy or girl rider, but they
had a ball cap on and a blonde ponytail. I gave a beep and wave as I flew past them... ah, life in the fast lane....

Oh yeah, also saw a Helix.... and a Vespa P125X and an Aprilia Sportcity (those 2 were riding with me).
And also saw a '70s Primavera 125 that a friend of mine just bought (not yet running).

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 3:52 am

Saw a red Buddy in the Pick N Save parking lot at Fox Point Plaza this evening when I was picking up a pizza from Papa Murphys. Did you know a family size pizza fits perfectly in the Givi top case?

I took a fun ride today of about 60 miles, much of it at wot. My speedometer told me I hit 70mph for a good stretch of the ride, I think that means I was really going 60mph. Not bad for stock. Temp was about 70 but near the lake it was only 55. Great time, lots of bikes and scoots on the road.

Series Italia in my 'hood on Laurel Canyon Blvd. around 1pm today. Rider with an orange Z1R (I think) helmet with a white stripe.

siobhan · Post by **siobhan** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:33 am

Red Buddy with matching red Genuine topcase on Hope Street (Providence, RI) around 3/4pm-ish on Sunday.

Saw you go by again with a Kymco People(?) around 5pm-ish. People rider looked over at the Honda Dream and the blue Vespa P in front of the Rue de L'Espoir.

Is it a 50 or a 125?

Saw a sunset orange buddy 125 in American Fork/Alpine yesterday, and a black buddy 125 going south on Geneva in Provo. Hello!!

I saw a pink 50 on s.wacker in Chicago yesterday. It was pouring rain and in the 40's. you go girl! I said "nice buddy!" to the rider, but if she does not come on this board she probably thought I was nuts (true kind of).

Red Buddy ridden by a woman in a safety vest, crossing Peoria on 15th in Tulsa. VERY visible

Coffeejunkie · Post by **Coffeejunkie** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 5:56 pm

I spotted two black Buddies around Lindbergh Station, and one canary yellow on my way back from PetSmart.

jijifer · Post by **jijifer** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:46 pm

I saw an orange Buddy parked on D street/101 Hwy in Encinitas Friday Night - as I got out of my movie I saw the dude scoot off East on D.

HEY When did they make matching mats, glove holder things and and mats for colored buddies? I know the pinks do but I guess I didn't know the orange did. Why doesn't my 09 blue?

The yesterday on my meet-up ride there was this red one parked in La Jolla Shores only it was a deeper red than the one for sale as an '09. It was closer to "wine" with a bit of "brick" in it just shining in the sun. it literally turned my head.

Don't know if they were 125 or 50.

I saw my first buddy brother the other day in Long Beach. Orange 125, yippie!!

cadillaczac · Post by **cadillaczac** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 2:53 am

Wow...I finally saw another Buddy in Ventura...a Pamplona nonetheless. I believe the guy on the back of it has a Vespa (and maybe in our scooter club) and a girl was up front at the controls. I tried to catch up but they turned before I could.

Spotted a Pearl Buddy zipping down Peachtree Rd NE last night around 8pm as Laurie and I walked our dog, Gus past Felini's Pizza.

I thought it was awesome, my wife didn't have much thought on the subject, and Gus wanted a slice of pizza.

Just saw an orange (sunset) Buddy scooter going through the drive through window of McDonalds in Lewisville (Texas) around 3:30. Female rider. Looks like she was having fun! I was in Chick-Fil-A wishing I had ridden mine today.

I was doing yard work in my back yard yesterday when I heard a Harley cruising past. I looked to the road (N Lake Street) and saw a blue Buddy cruising next to the Harley.

Hello!!! Isn't there ANYBODY else in NE Wisconsin who reads Modern Buddy?
