Sharing some Buddy love

Post by mrandmrslindholm »

I took my Buddy out on a job today. When I got to my destination, I parked and began work. As I was working, I noticed 3 men circling my Buddy. They were checking him out from top to bottom and chatting amongst themselves. Later, 2 of the 3 came over to me to tell me how cool he was. It was a good day to share some Buddy love! :D

That's cool! I just got my Buddy last week and I'm enjoying getting compliments also. Mine is also a 2009 St Tropez. His name is Vinny :)

As a fellow St. Tropez owner, I have to agree, we are the fortunate ones. Good thing we also have the refinement and good taste to keep a low profile here on the board... :P

And I watched
and then I checked my swatch

The Soul had formed a Buddy line
And that buddy was mine all mine.

Buddy fuzzy love

It is always cool when strangers politely ask "How fast do you go? how much did that cost?" and several times couples have asked, "could we both ride on one of those together?"...you know what's cool? Buddy love is a phenomenon that exists only with Buddys - not with cruisers or crotch rockets...just Buddys.

^ people ask me that all the time. always surprised at the answer. i was flying down Colorado last week on a Blackjack (well if 45mph is flying lol) and when traffic caught up to me some homeboys shouted out "f- man look at that! yo how fast it go!" so i told 'em and they were impressed. neat way for gang members to get around i would think? potential drive bys have never been so much fun!

yesterday a lil Mini Coop pulled up alongside my Agility. thought it was gonna beat me off the light on Huntington Dr here in my part of town. i love when i can feel them struggling beside me as i reach 40 and then 50mph. what guys are you really gonna go 60mph in a 40mph zone to over take my little scoot going 50mph?

nah. they gave up :)

Lotta St Tropez owners in here! :D It was the slowest selling international, but it happens to be my fav. I had the choice between it and a Pamplona. I still dont get much Buddy love in my parts but whatever.
