Awesome! I love the color matching. My wife and I entered the world of scootering last month when she walked into the scooter shop and saw the orange Buddy 125. Her favorite color is orange so it pretty much was a done deal.

I'll post some pics of her when her orange Corazzo jacket gets here. She's doing the whole color matching thing too. Orange jacket, orange helmet, even orange panels on her gloves. I'm doing blue too, but dark blue.

And since i'm too lazy to post any pics right now. If you want to see who we are you can go to my website. Don't worry, it's an honest to goodness personal page. I'm not some schmuck trying to ramp up my hits counter.

Now the question is... too much info? :wink:

Blue gloves are there poking out of the glove compartment, but I couldnt find Light Blue, so I had to go with dark. They are actually cloth gardening gloves with reinforced knuckles and palms.

Val, I have a pair of light blue gloves made by Cortec. I found them while wandering around our Honda motorcycle dealers.

What kind of GPS do you use for the Geocaching? And is it mounted on your Buddy?

Howdy. I am Paul, from Tucson , AZ. I am 45 y.o. and by day I am a public school administrator. At the end of the work day, I am just another tattooed and pierced scooter scum. I drive a Buddy 125 in sea foam green. Here's a pic of me with Twiggy, one of my four Boston Terriers.

HI!! Danny and Janet from Mansfield MA. Don't own the Buddy yet, but within the next week or 2 we'll be getting an 08 Buddy 150 Pamplona. Our 06 Passat gets great mileage, but not Buddy great!! Janet works 3 miles from home and the Buddy will be her work vehicle and our fun ride! I'll be getting one later in the year. I'm currently unemployed, so lots of time spent on scoot research!

This is us in Key West, FL a few weeks ago...... WHERE'S THE WHEELS ON THIS SCOOT?!?!?! It's one of those James Bond scoots that can go on land and water!!!! -Mahalo

Thanks brimestone, I have put a 2000RPM Performance Spring in and rejetted to 185 (K85) on the main. I have a set of 12 g rollers but I'm sorta hesitant to how they will benefit. I bought them in hopes of gaining some top end but at the same time I don't want to lose any of the excellent torque I gained with the 2000 rpm performance spring.

Definately a fun ride! 8)

I teach TV Production in a high school, but my original certification is in English.

I like playing handyman at home, camping, and hanging out with my wonderful wife Michelle and kids. ( no pics of her- she's shy)

The picture was taken while she was criticizing my navigational skills. THAT'S the real reason I now drive a scooter!! Who needs a tom-tom when you have a nag-nag! :D

I sell computer POS systems that schools use in their cafeterias
Married - 3 kids - one beagle
Just turned 41 on Saturday
The scooter is my latest addition to my toy collection (ATVs, Snowmobiles, a bass boat (I dont fish) & my favorite (after my scooter) - my 13' FJ sailboat)
I am NOT bragging, I dont have a ton of money tied up in this stuff - all of my toys are at least 6 years old... one of my snowmobiles is a 1982 John Deere Trailfire
I think what a guy (or girl) has in his garage says a lot about a person (for better or worse.)
that might be an interesting thread... what else is in your garage?
