Got my Buddy today!
I finally got my scooter delivered today....
BUT IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS!
Oh, the irony!
But I am really enjoying just standing and looking at it and listening to it run and purr along on the centerstand.
I am hoping for a break in the clouds and a quick ride!
SO HAPPY!

Congrats on the new scoot! Don't forget to go easy for the first 100 miles or so to scrub the tires in!

Re: Got my Buddy today!
Deb, I share your pain. It's also cold, dark and rainy here in the PNW (what else is new, right?) and I haven't been able to ride for almost a week. I'm suffering serious withdrawl problems. But, the sunshine symbol on my indoor weather station is shining brightly so maybe tomorrow the clouds will part, the pavement will dry and I'll be on the road again. I hope that's also your case. In any event, after your first extended ride, please share your experience with us. Enjoy yourself but ride safe and most importantly, Merry Christmas!Whimscootie wrote:I finally got my scooter delivered today....

Bill-
Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
It's looking now like our area is in for some serious flash flooding. The rains are really pounding down this evening.
I did ride for about 10 minutes this afternoon. Just a real quick outdoor slow loop. I had not ridden a scoot over the last month or more since I sold my Met.
It was nice and the scoot was "chomping at the bit" so to speak. I think I am going to like it, but it is going to be a big adjustment from riding the Met. Feels HUGE!

I got to ride the scoot today after putting on the low profile seat.
Wow what a difference in the feel and handling of the bike for me!
Best money spent on the scoot so far.
And this scoot? It wants to GO! I accelerated and it took off so immediately that the front tire reared up an inch!
WHOA!
I am loving my Buddy! Now I see what all the HOOPLA has been about!!
