i spotted a scooter on the road today, not a buddy unfortunately, it was a Venice scooter? I've never heard of it before so it was my first time seeing one

I saw a girl on a red Buddy 125 at Genessee & I-5. She scooted past me btwn the stopped cars and it braved me up to do the same since I had to be at Motorsports before it closed.

I eventually took the lead and I last saw her at Texas and the 8!

I have been living in the valley of W. Mass for years, Northampton for the last 2 and haven't seen ANY buddy's! SO I picked up my first buddy from CT yesterday- a brand new black jack! I'll be parking that lil' puppy out on main street in front of the cafe for all to see. I can't promise that it will be parked for long though! Glad to have joined the Buddy scene!

On my way to class yesterday I missed the chemistry building because I was staring at a parked Tangerine Buddy; a 125 I think... Mine better be here Monday or I am going to raise such a fuss.

Yesterday a green Buddy on University parked kinda outside Baja Betty's. Cute matching helmet.

I saw a few others but can't remember now.

brape · Post by **brape** » Tue May 12, 2009 6:50 pm

How much is that buddy in the window? (and how did it wind up in a display for a clothes store in Hartford?)

They had an old vespa in the store, but its not the sort of store I really want to go into. (to fancy for lil ole me)

There's a shop up on Federal Hill (Providence's Little Italy) with a Vespa in the window. The scoot changes depending on mood. I always park in front as the guys that hang out in the front of the shop (who are usually wearing some sort of Ferrari branded apparel) always keep a stern eye on my scoot.

And I just found this today when doing a search for Schiaparelli stuff:
Elsa Schiaparelli in 1952. I'm so tempted to paint the P black & fuschia pink.

All along I thought you were going to say you spotted a new CT scooterist!

The weather has been so cold and windy this week! It sucks. This morning almost made up for it though... I had sun and no wind for once this week.

Welcome fellow Blackjacker, just a fair warning you may end up finding yourself loving it so much that you sleep next to it at night.

laxer · Post by **laxer** » Sun May 17, 2009 1:41 pm

I get so mad when I see a buddy and I'm all "Hey, a buddy!" and I smile and wave to the person and they just look at my Rattler like it some cheap Chinese toy and scoot past without any acknowledgment that I even exist. GRRRRR!!!

I always get MORE excited to see a Rattler or a Roughhouse, because they're much less comon than Buddies.

I haven't been on this forum in ages, but I did want to post a sighting of a buddy and driver with some real cojones -- back in April I saw an Italia breeze by in the carpool lane of the 134 in the valley at a smooth 50mph while I sat in my cage stuck in traffic, like a sucker.

jijifer · Post by **jijifer** » Sun May 17, 2009 11:52 pm

I saw a pair of buddy's heading east on Carlsbad Village Blvd today around 3pm - an Italia and either a Black Jack or just a black one. The black looked matte so that's why I'm thinking blackjack. I waved at them as I was heading West but neither noticed

Cool to see at least 2 other buddies up this way

Pulling out of the Target shopping complex in Tacoma Sunday afternoon and lo and behold, there's a blue Stella with sidecar! Nice!

Post by **ericalm** » Wed May 20, 2009 2:26 am

This afternoon I saw the same Pamplona twice in Silverlake! Female rider, orange Nolan N30 helmet. She was ahead of me where Glendale and Rowena meet; she turned before I could wave hello. A couple hours later, I saw her again down at Glendale and Riverside. Got a wave that time. Howdy.

This is what the note looks like (front and back). It is the size of a business card.

Awesome! Is that from one of the card PDFs we posted a while back? Are you printing them at home? I should re-post those somewhere.

Dean F · Post by **Dean F** » Thu May 21, 2009 4:51 pm

Yes, it is one of your PDF's that I printed to plain paper using an Avery 5963 template. By the way that was the first ever picture I have ever posted to a forum.....they will get better!
