Buddy acquired.

Post by AxeYrCat »

Spent a little QT with it yesterday evening after I picked it up -- thanks again to Seth at Metro Scooter! -- tweaking a few bits here and there -- again, thanks to Seth (for totally letting me bite his style).

Here are the results:

(Gears? On a CVT? :lol: )

The lights that should be the turn signals are the turn signals, the right side mirror has been deleted, and so have the reflectors.

Take that DOT! :P
Huh? What just happened?

It could use the carbon fiber treatment on the "rocker panels". And put a scrolling L.E.D. in the silver thing on the "hood" ALA K.I.T.T.

Yeah, Seth was *super cool* about me biting his setup.

Basically, at this point, he's done everything that I would have done -- granted, I'd have put a sloppy bolt in where the lil' red plug is, but otherwise... :lol:


He's going to end up doing more performance mods, I reckon, and I'm going to try to keep mine cosmetic if I do any [real mods] at all. I don't really feel like I've 'modded' anything at this point... :wink:



Oh, and thanks for the positive replies! :D

That's one part of a HUGE wall (and there are several walls)...


Scribble Jam is a hip-hop fest here in Cincinnati, hosted at a venue called Annie's -- http://www.anniesentertainment.com/scribble.html and http://www.scribblejam.net/.

Anyway, a buddy of mine is a killer artist... His website is http://clinikill.com/.

Here's a piece out behind the building where I work... (I'm posting it as a link because it's huge, and it'll piss off everyone's browsers).

Man, your pictures made the black Buddy looks so good. Now I regret I bought an orange one instead... :(

Isn't it terrible? Mine is now debadged as well... At least we can tell 'em apart. :)

I'll end up on the XYL site soon, I'm sure... I'm trying to keep myself from diving in too quickly.

I need to keep the scooter sane, and keeping vehicles sane is not something I'm good at. :roll:

Your photos sell that color better than any others I've seen. Nice job and scooter, as well.
