Scooters getting more popular!
I thought this video was good about scooters on You Tube.

Thanks for sharing that story. Hang in there Michael, you'll have your scooter soon. I paid $2900 up front for my Buddy and then waited a month for it to come in stock. That made me nervous! Now I have it and am loving being part of the culture. Although, sadly, I am the only Buddy owner (most likely) in ATL. I parked beside a red Vespa at the coffee shop today and was snubbed. This is one city that labels mean everything... drives me insane! I <3 my Buddy.

I'm seeing more and more scoots around town every day, and I feel so depressed, because I can't afford to buy one yet!!!

Bet the price of fuel has something to do with it.
We even have a Corbin Sparrow running around here.

Yeah, there's a scooter club here in Chattanooga, and they only allow "metal" scooters, i.e., Vespas, Stellas, and the like. Their website states something to the fact that plastic is "for losers". It's definitely a clique atmosphere among many scooter clubs, but I ain't buying one to make friends. People like that can..well, you know...golfingirl wrote: I parked beside a red Vespa at the coffee shop today and was snubbed. This is one city that labels mean everything... drives me insane!

But you have $1700 more in your pocket than they do.macgawd wrote:Yeah, there's a scooter club here in Chattanooga, and they only allow "metal" scooters, i.e., Vespas, Stellas, and the like.

I used to own a 528I.. Oy vey.. I'm sure I put my mechanics kids though college .... Now I only buy Japanese (cars that is)
It's a one way street. Over priced and no resale value.
That's the price of being snobby.

Here in Cincinnati,OH we have an awesome scooter club. Check it out at
http://tenyearlates.com/ver2/
There are steel and plastic scooters, modern and retro. There's the usual ribbing at one another but it is a group that really does welcome everyone regardless of their ride. We have a scheduled ride every Wednesday and usually someone will host other rides during the week. Bars/restaurants beg us to come to their place on Wednesday and offer free food in order to get us there. It really is something to see and be a part of. I hope those of you who don't have a club can work on something like this.

New Scooter
I was reading the responses a couple days ago and someone mentioned that someone could wait until the new 150cc scooter came out. It was also named with a B at the beginning. Have I missed an announcement of a new scooter coming out by Genuine? I have not been able to find the message again. What is it's name. I am heavy and tall and need a little bigger machine than the Buddy to be comfortable.
Thanks
