My shiny new scooter

I upgraded to a new scoot on Friday - was previously driving an '09 Honda Metropolitan, but after getting a chance to ride a Buddy 50 for a day and a half, I fell in love - hard - and also realized I'd kinda outgrown my Metro. A good friend of mine runs a scooter shop in town, and told me he had a seafoam Buddy 50 coming in - so I snagged it.

I will say, being friends with the shop owner means I get to do cool things like unbox my own scooter!

There she is, in all her glory!

And that's a shot of her with my old Honda Metropolitan. Hope she finds a good home, she was a good scoot!

It must be fun to unwrap it yourself.

Oh man, I was bouncing up and down when the delivery truck pulled in, haha. It was awesome getting to unbox it myself!

Speaking of DIY scooter stuff (sort-of), I just added a rear rack and trunk to my scoot with minimal help (mostly I just had my husband hold the stupid brackets for the Soft case while I screwed the base onto my rear rack).

just like a BIG Christmas present. Unwrapping a bike is STILL fun and I did a few 100 in the 80-90's. Its even better when it is your own. Congrats!

Couple more pictures of my Buddy!

Here's Mia with my friend's seafoam Buddy, Pepita la Scoot. (Since I put the back rack/case on, they're nearly identical, haha)

And Mia with my hubby's Stella, Donna. Lookin' pretty sweet together!
