1000 Days on Modern Buddy
well 1031 to be exact....Okay you know you are board when you add up how many days you have been on here.
No really I just wanted to know how long I have been riding a scooter for (I joined MB the day I got my first scooter)
Just curious, How many 1st year buddy owners are still around here?

Old School Buddy= 125cc, small headlight, sunset or ivory, brown seats, no a/c adapter...
Its true though, I don't often see people here with an '06 Buddy. Though there was a lady with one on our last ride.

Yep, I'm still here, still riding my small headlight, black and silver 2006 Buddy.toddrw2251 wrote:Bonegirl's 32,000+ mile buddy is a pink 2006. She's still around as is lagerhead.
I'm not going to add up the days I've been here because it might involve some algebra and there's a good chance that the total might be different tomorrow.
I joined June 20th, 2006. I'm member #66

I was washing the Buddy today and thinking, "Oh, now that they have a white Buddy, I could totally get a white headset, legshield and fenders, do a cool pink & white thing…" Then I remembered we have an '06 and the headset piece won't fit.
Still, Model Year 1 Buddys rule. We were hardcore back then with our little headlights and weaker brake lights. 12v outlets—pshaw! Who needs 'em?

Yep, I'm still around too with my 2006 Sunset Bud. Traded my 04 Mojito 50 for it at the tail end of the 06 season. With my short commute and mostly city riding, I still have less than 5000 miles on it, but they've been completely trouble free except for loose battery terminals.
I think a lot of us are still around but I, for one, post much less than I used to. It's just how forums work.
Oh, and post-2006 Buddys do have dis-proportionally large (some might say freakishly large) headlights.
I do wish I had the power outlet though...

They're actually not all that hard to install. I put one in my LX. Less that $20 in parts, etc.gt1000 wrote:I do wish I had the power outlet though...

Very true Eric. But, if I do decide to install a radar detector on my bikes (including the Buddy), I'll probably just hard-wire it instead. A pre-installed outlet would've saved me a few minutes and a few bucks, that's all.ericalm wrote:They're actually not all that hard to install. I put one in my LX.

Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick.
Tony Giardino: Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex.
