My first sighting out in Hillsboro! A black Buddy turning left onto TV Hwy from 209th. You are brave man! I hate trying to turn left at that intersection!

On 5/20 at about 5:30PM I saw an Italia or St. Tropez (hard to distinguish with my smoke colored shield) with a female driver heading east on Washtenaw in Ann Arbor. Thanks for the wave.

Saw UnionZac - couldn't miss those stripes and w/ a large Prima roll bag coming into downtown Nashville via the Gateway bridge. Looked like the helmet got some customization too. I was rolling in on the bus; 9:15 Friday morning...

Buddy in on Long Beach Blvd (near the walmart). I think it was sunset orange, although it could have been a custom color. Anyone here??? Guy riding it.

Today on Oceanside Blvd. at 4:28, we saw a pink Buddy and driver had 1/2 pink helmet wearing a dress/skirt. We waved but got nothing in return

We were on a blue GT200 and a red GTS250 and a yellow MP3 500 if you saw scoots.

Hey all! I just saw my first, for real up close and personal, Buddy Italia 150. And it's mine!

Saturday the hubby and I drove down to Scooterville in Minneapolis and picked up my Italia! I've been wanting a scooter for a while. Did a bunch of research and decided on the Buddy. Only problem.....no North Dakota dealer! Rats. Road trip!

Took advantage of the long weekend for a trip down combined with our first camping trip of spring.

I'm home now and Sophia is in the garage. The both of us are waiting for the rain to stop so we can get aquainted.

Buddy Boop - I PMd you but for some reason those get hung up in the outbox for a day (sometimes) if you're not a member of the San Diego meet up group, check the section on rallies and meet-ups here. I posted the link to the info for this Saturday's ride. It's 24 scoots strong and it's gonna be FUN!

Sometimes it helps to open a message in the Outbox and re-submit it.

Messages stay in the Outbox until they're read by the recipient. There's a glitch that causes things to hang there, sometimes, though.

A gentleman in a black 3/4 trench and matte-black 1/2 helmet was riding a creme buddy 50 down 16th street this morning. Striking buddy image!

If it was an Italia I wonder if it wasn't my friend Jessica Sendra - she's a dj over at EMU and scoots to and from A2 to do it.

Saw a tangerine Buddy with rear rack around 8AM near Cedar Hills and Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy in Beaverton this morning. Rider was wearing a yellow hi-vis jacket and full face.

I have seen two new buddys, in the last month, in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. I gave them the Buddy wave.

Post by **ericalm** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:17 am

Pink Buddy with a basked on the front. This morning on Laurel Canyon near Oxnard in North Hollywood. I've seen a couple pink Buds in the area before, but not this one.

As I frequently say, DFW was a scooterless wasteland when I lived there. Now it seems like they're all over. I'd love go go back and ride around my old haunts on a scoot!

Cheshire · Post by **Cheshire** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:25 am

Saw two buddies and a sym cub tucked away in the back of a van this evening! I have reason to believe one of those buddies was voodoo'd.

Some crazy people who claimed to be from NASA were milling around the van...strange. I think it had POC on the side of it!

bunny · Post by **bunny** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 1:18 pm

I saw NEWSLINKY this morning! First sighting in quite a long time. He was heading towards Euless-Main on Mid-Cities and I was going past him in the opposite direction!

YAY!

Little after 6 this evening a orange buddy heading north on Franklin road.

Saw a buddy Italia going down 2nd street in Long Beach today. Any of you MB'ers??? Oh, I also saw a very cool old vespa...extra mirrors, mud flap.

knucklestar · Post by **knucklestar** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 12:00 pm

I saw a Blackjack heading into old city last weekend. Then an Italia in fron of the Rocket Cat this weekend. I also saw a Stella at my dealer's yesterday with a built in sound system and it sounded so good for something blasting down the block.

Coffeejunkie · Post by **Coffeejunkie** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 12:02 pm

I saw 7 buddies yesterday at the Virginia Highlands street festival.

Each morning for the past couple of weeks I've been seeing an Italia riding south on The Alameda accompanied by a friendly high wave. You on here at all? I'm on the Pamplona going north.

Someone with an awesome, decked out, green Stella has been parking by the house on the corner, it kinda makes me jealous.

nagamus · Post by **nagamus** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 1:06 am

I started riding scooters about six years ago here in Philly. Had an Italjet back then. And all I would ever see was the occasional Vespa, Vino and a Metropolitan here and there. Well that was then and now, I can't leave my South Philly house without see multiple Buddies! They're everywhere! Seriously, no exaggeration. I'm a Roughy rider myself but I love to see more and more of my fellow scooterists out there! Keep em' comin' to Philly Genuine!

6/16/09

i saw an orange buddy 125 on rte 360 a.k.a. hull st in chesterfield at around 5:15pm

then a different orange 125 (or the same one after the rider of the first one changed his helmet and jacket) on nansemond near patterson in the city of richmond a little before 6pm

it was cool seeing the one on hull. even though it looked like he was slowing traffic down there are plenty of lanes. and now i am more comfortable riding on that road to mah new daytime gig.

rock on

Post by **Lostmycage** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 4:42 am

I don't know what it is, but I've NEVER seen a Buddy that I hadn't set out to see (group rides or friends I'm riding with) here in the 804. It's just plain weird. I'm going to have to start traveling further out, I guess.

Skootz Kabootz · Post by **Skootz Kabootz** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:58 am

Saw a seafoam Buddy heading east on Sunset Blvd near San Vincente around 6pm. I waved but think traffic was demanding full attention...

thehypercube · Post by **thehypercube** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:33 pm

orange buddy heading east on 24th street and castro traded waves yesterday morning. pretty rare to trade waves with 2 wheelers here, even buddy to buddy - there are just too many - so that was nice.

rvajma · Post by **rvajma** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 11:47 pm

Lostmycage, you just need to get into the Fan and Carytown more. I saw a light blue buddy, and a red one yesterday sitting out on the patio at Easy Street.

Post by **ericalm** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 7:02 am

Saw one of only two local white Buddys on San Fernando Blvd. in Glendale tonight around 10 or later. May be the same one I've seen before in Burbank area.

my first sighting that wasnt my refection I saw it in nw portland OR
it had a stella cover, so maybe its a spy undercover?

twoscoots · Post by **twoscoots** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 6:38 pm

In Richmond, I'm forever seeing the guy on the checkerboard metermaid-looking scooter wearing a red mohawk helmet. There's also a girl who rides an older white-and-green 50cc scooter. I see quite a few people on Forest Hill and in the Carytown area - saw my first pink Buddy last week parked on Boulevard.

Wheelz · Post by **Wheelz** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 6:52 pm

Maybe it's because I had to go four towns over and over 50 miles to get my Rat, but I have seen not one buddy or Genuine scooter for that matter but my own. I've seen a few Vespas, Metros, Baccios,quite a few no name Chinese. I looked on the map and I think there's one MB member within 50 miles of me. There's a few in florida but mostly east coast and Northern, one day i will see a buddy oh yess I will!

jijifer · Post by **jijifer** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 4:47 pm

I saw a white buddy on my ride to the city on Saturday, I just can't remember exactly where. I wondered if it was the dude who was buying a white buddy a few weeks earlier at Motorsports. I'm thinking it was on Genessee.

KABarash · Post by **KABarash** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:30 pm

OK not a buddy, but it is my first confirmed sighting of a Genuinue product in Lancaster County, Pa. (other than mine of corse)

Orange Stella, Sunday 21 June at Longs Park. 'Free' Buckwheat Zydeco concert.

Saw an Italia out front of the Smith's in Provo. Also, an orange Stella going north on geneva road (the rider was a jackass and glared at me when I gave him the wave).
