Don't think I have seen you yet, but I'll be on the lookout. Not sure what Corazzo has in the way of colorways lately... I bought mine direct from them but it was not custom. Also, it's the Women's 5.0takora wrote:Hello there! Mine's a white one with black racks. I wear a Corazzo speedway jacket and a black helmet. I'm in the process of moving, so for the next week or so I'll have flattened cardboard boxes bungeed precariously to the ride... Feel free to say 'hi' if you see me.
I just realized that this weekend, due to the move, were the first days I hadn't ridden the buddy since I got it. I did more than 300 miles my first week with it, and now haven't ridden it for three days. Back on it in the morning!
Do they still do the black/silver combo? Or was that custom? It looks really sharp.

This may be the most scooterful city in the US. They're everywhere. All different sorts, but a lot of modern Vespas. A motorcycle lot by the Academy of Art was maybe half motorcycles/half scooters, with almost all the scooters being MVs. I did see one Buddy St. Tropez in there, too.

2 Buddy's southbound on Big Creek Parkway
Wifey and I took our first street ride today. We saw a pair of buddy's going the opposite direction on Big Creek Parkway in the Strongsville/Brook Park area.
One was Red. The other was Tangerine.
We were the two internationals that honked at ya. We would have waved but we're not that comfy.
Send us a message offlist and we can meet up for coffee in Berea.

Buddy sighting
After going over a year before spotting my first Buddy, within a matter of days I saw my second. While on the South Bay Scooter monthly ride, I saw an Italia going south on Coast Highway in Huntington Beach (near "Dog Beach" for those of you that know the area). Having seen so few Buddies in person, is there a way to tell the difference between a 50 and a /125150?

Re: Buddy sighting
Yep, the 50 has a black exhaust cover. The 125 has a chrome exhaust cover, and the 150 internationals have a chrome exhaust tip as well. The Blackjacks are obviously all 150's.rondothemidget wrote:After going over a year before spotting my first Buddy, within a matter of days I saw my second.

I'm all over Cincy including my commute between Mt. Washington and Clifton.

I saw three Buddies in one day. Blue French model on PCH, rider was wearing plaid pants, white tee shirt (male). Red Buddy, also on PCH with a guy in a business suit riding it. And a white Buddy on Lincoln. Not a suprpise here since the dealer is a few blocks away from where I spotted the bike.

Scooters are a dime a dozen in Gainesville, however Buddys are not. The other day I spotted a house that has 3 Buddys out front! Seafoam, red, & off-white. It was such a pretty scene.

orange Buddy in Swanzey, NH ID'd!
My wife is the Secretary for CATS (Canine Agility Training Society) The orange Buddy125 is about 1/4 mile form us and belongs to CATS' treasurer. And her husband, like me, is a pilot also. File under "small world"!
current mpg on my 09 Italia is 86.2. Nice weather here, now, scoots are too much fun to be legal! Met an X-reme electric today in Keene. 90+ % of crotch rockets and big bikes wave. Gotta love it!

Orange Buddy with matching topcase parked in front of Michael's by Northeast Mall...I left a note in the bubble "www.modernbuddy.com Bunny says, HI BUDDY!"
Maybe they don't have the interwebs.

Orange 50cc parked in the lot across from Starbucks and Hard Rock Cafe downtown this morning.
I also sometimes see a pink 50cc parked behind a refreshment stand in the Main Plaza, but not today.

Perfect Weather to Ride
There is a cream Buddy I see on Market and 2nd all the time. It's SOOOO cute. I LOVE LOVE LOVE cream scooters, think they're the BEST.
And now right in front of my work (1st and Folsom) there is a Pamplona 150 (with a wicker basket-my FAV) that's been there a week. Maybe that red head will park next to Giovanna tomorrow and the Buddy's will rule the motorcycle parking! I can't WAIT much longer to get my pet carrier, got the crow bars installed. Only thing missing is the wicker basket...

Where did you get your cup holder Mr Miller? Seems pretty cool. I like the fact that if the coffee does spill out a bit it goes on the road and doesn't stain the tip of your boot.Mr Miller wrote:I just sawing my first Buddy (other than mine) in my home town of Roseburg OR.

This is directed at the buddy you spotted... I think parking on a sidewalk (esp. one that was obviously designed to accommodate wheel chairs) is just calling too much attention to yourself. I'd rather take a full parking spot and park legally. My experience in Oregon tells me that less people are PO'd by my little scoot taking a full parking spot than when I try to act "special" and park where cars can't go. Just my opinion.

the coffee cup holder is just an aluminum bicycle water bottle holder.....works perfect for 20oz cups
