Saw an orange buddy 125 on the corner of Hwy 101 and Villa de la Valle at 440pm yesterday. I waved and you nodded.

Yesterday around 3:35 PM; white Buddy on Briarcliff crossing over Clairmont in the direction of North Druid Hills. Rider had a white helmet and green fleece vest. Was stuck behind an SUV so I couldn't wave easily. Thought it was MB member amy at first, but the scoot was missing a trunk and I know she's a fan of her Corazzo jacket...

This morning, prolly 6am, a black buddy (125?) parked bravely at 14th and market in Denver. Either the person works overnight, or they had to be there ridiculously early.

At 3:30 PM today I saw a Buddy 150 "Pamplona" with the burgundy/creme colors at the hardware store at the corner of Rockwell Blvd and NW Expressway in Oklahoma City.

A Cream Buddy 125 followed about a minute later by a Blue Buddy 125 coming up the hill southbound on Torrey Pines Road. I was on my Blue Buddy as well.

A buddy 150 - powder blue - parked in the bike/motorcycle parking area when I was leaving work. Walked by this area a million times, and never saw it before.

Orange buddy 125 last night parked @ Broadway and Ellsworth in Denver, along with a black friend!

Woman (probably a student) on a light blue Buddy pulling into the main entrance parking by the fountain at Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center. See a lot of scooters around there and have even seen twin blue Buddies parked by the bike rack.

She was wearing a 3/4 helmet w/o a face shield...only reason I really noticed was because it was raining and I remember thinking that I was glad mine had a shield today!

Red Buddy and Pink Buddy ridden by two people in Corazzo jackets and FF helmets turning south on Sheridan from Midway in Broomfield, CO around 3:30 today. Great looking scoots and riders! A basket on the back of the red and on the front of the pink.

Post by **ericalm** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 5:10 am

Saw a black Buddy 125 this morning on Ventura/Cahuenga.

Then further down Cahuenga in Hollywood, got a "Hey, what's up?" from a guy on an orange Stella 2T. I know of a few other 2Ts around here, but hadn't seen this one before. What's up?

kmrcstintn · Post by **kmrcstintn** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 11:08 pm

I have only seen mine locally (outside of the ones at my dealer...LOL); Vespas, Piaggios, some Aprilias, and varied other asian imports are what I see from time to time;

then there's the motorcycles & 2 types of riders...those that will actually acknowledge my wave and the ones that pretend not to see me on my lowly putt-putt mobile

Mutt the Hoople · Post by **Mutt the Hoople** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 4:39 am

I saw a black buddy yesterday in South St. Louis and I saw a Pamplona like mine going east on Delmar in the U-City Loop. The weather here in St. Louis has been wonderful.

synaps3 · Post by **synaps3** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 5:23 pm

Saw a woman riding a Saint Tropez this morning in Marietta, GA. She was traveling Northbound on 41, she had just passed the 120 loop.

Potent Pink Buddy on Nicollet and like 42nd or 43rd in Minneapolis late yesterday morning (first one I've seen in the wild), then a Seafoam one with two girls on southbound on Chicago midafternoon.

If they had on a red jacket and helmet, it was me.

Young woman on a creme Stella, downtown LA.

ravenlore · Post by **ravenlore** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 2:38 am

Guy on an orange Stella parked next to me midafternoon today at Target on E. Lake St

Seriously man, if you ever happen to read this: Helmet or sunblock

I can't even imagine how much sunburned scalp would hurt.

The other day, on my way to my follow-up appt: Black Buddy with a front rack waiting to turn onto Monument Ave, male rider.

Then an Italia and a Seafoam Buddy- both of these chained at the bike rack at MCV Hospital.

I can. I keep my hair short. If I don't use sunscreen then I can easily burn my ears or scalp. Baseball caps only protect my face. I need a bucket hat, but even that leaves my neck exposed.

Painful is one thing. It is painful. Almost worse is when it peels. That just looks ridiculous. It looks like REALLY bad dandruff until all of the burned area has sloughed off. Trying to put aloe vera or some other lotion on it to resolve it quickly is only so helpful. There will still be a ridiculous period.

totally forgot to mention that I saw a light blue Buddy 125 headed toward downtown Nashville on Lebanon Road Sunday Night.

I had my wife on the back of mine and it appeared that we were both headed out for dinner with our dates on the back.

Are you on here?

JHScoot · Post by **JHScoot** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:26 am

3/28

South Pasadena, Fair Oaks Ave, around 4:00pm, Buddy Italia looking sharp, sounded like a 50cc

rider was male, tall, black half helmet, tan jacket, jeans, around middle age

siobhan · Post by **siobhan** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:59 pm

So I never get to post in this thread because I never see any Buddies! Yesterday I was at the orthodontist, and after I got my wet gear off (it was raining), a whole bunch of the staff came out and said, "There's another scooter in the lot! Do you know who it is?"

Turns out it was a Li'l Pamplona. I met the guy when I was leaving. So a big "hi" to Eric/Erik/Erich who was at his dentist. It takes riding on the East Side to see another Buddy. And of course I didn't have my camera.

Seafoam green Buddy on Montrose near the Mecom fountain traffic circle. About 8:00 this morning.

Three yesterday/last night!

Around 6:30pm, Cahuenga Blvd. N, exiting Hollywood, I lane split past a St. Tropez. Rider had a black helmet & red duffle bag.

Minutes later, a Pamplona on Olive/Barham. In the same area, there was a Blur parked with the other bikes at NY Film Academy/Warner.

Later that evening, around 7:30 maybe, a red Buddy on Laurel Canyon Blvd. Rider with a passenger.

Another one today. Haven't seen a buddy in months and now 3 in the span of a week. Italia heading west on Wedgwood by 65.

jonesygirl · Post by **jonesygirl** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:24 am

He wasn't on his Buddy, but a nice man at a stop sign on 12th St in Lemoyne rolled down his window to say hi and tell me that he also has a Buddy. Are you on here?

I was on my St Tropez, shivering from the cold rain. It was a bit of an emergency that I even had to ride him today. But thanks for saying hi!

I'll keep an eye out for you. Looks like we are both in the same local area

PS: Not a "Buddy" sighting, but saw a nice orange Stella parked on a sidewalk on Front St. Drove past it many times while I was working and it made me smile.

TelPerian · Post by **TelPerian** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:52 pm

A green Vespa in the parking lot of my office in Needham, MA, and a red Vespa at the intersection of Arlington and Parsons St in Brighton, MA.

BTW Red Vespa driver, if you're out there, you didn't wave :p

Light blue Buddy, female rider in light blue Corazzo 5.0, full helmet, black top case with checkers on it. Riverside Blvd. around 9am. I see this one often, and think I've met the rider (maybe at an LASG ride? at NoHo?)

Black Buddy 125 with tan seat, Cahuenga/Ventura, around 9:15. Male rider. Yo.
