HELLO EVERYONE, I HAVE A STORY TO TELL!
ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT TO MY SELF "HEY LOOK UP SCOOTERS AND SEE WHAT COMES UP." SOON I FOUND MYSELF READING THE BUDDDY 125 REVIEW, AND THEN FOUND THIS SITE. AFTER JUST AFEW MINS OF READING IT HAPPENED I WAS BITTEN BY THE SCOOTER BUG!!!!

IT'S ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT, I'M SEARCHING CRAIGSLIST FOR USED SCOOTS AND WENT TO DMV AND GOT MY M-1 PERMIT. TODAY I WENT TO SF SCOOTER CENTER AND I BELIVE THAT I WILL SOON BE THE OWNER OF A SHINY NEW BUDDY 150 PAMPLONA!!!

Congrats! Fighting that urge to get a scooter is impossible to overcome.


Luckily, typing with the caps lock on is easier to overcome. :wink:

Welcome! Good thing you looked at the buddy as your first choice, it truly is a nice bike. Good thing you didnt get caught into $999 shipped to your front door scooter deals, those bikes are bad.

Hi! You're gonna love your Bud, no doubt. Anyone who did any research at all would find the Buddy to be an attractive and practical alternative to the more pricey scoots. I think mine is the best purchase I EVER MADE!!! :mrgreen: Congrats, have fun!

Call your insurance company before you go. You'll need the VIN# to finish the insurance, but if you call them and let them know you're planning to buy and get a quote, you're actually covered. (Something I found out when I had a crash!)

Also, you just need your permit if you're riding surface streets in the daytime without a passenger.
