I've seen a slew in Probbydense lately...this morning I saw a scoot two cars up and luckily at a light, one car turned left, the other right so I was directly behind the scoot...I speed up and get a good look at the taillights...that's another Buddy.
Next light there are two police officers manning road construction (Dean & Atwells) and the light turns red, so I'm directly behind you. Did you turn around and wave? No. So here's my Hello! I hope the cop had nice words for you; the one I spoke to was very nice. He told me that if gas prices keep going the way they're going, the entire police department will be on scoots!
Me - blue St Tropez with white helmet and red/white/blue jacket.
You - black helmet, grey t-shirt, sneaks ... I think the scoot was red? My shield distorts colors.
Best Buddy sighting of the week was on Broadway in front of Julians last Friday...girl on a Black Bud holding on for dear life. I smiled & waved. Relax the grip a little and you'll have more fun (and happier shoulders).
Sunset orange Buddy on Laurel Canyon Blvd. in NoHo. Rider with black jacket, white helmet. Something strapped to front rack (of the scooter, you pervs).
Though I live 3 miles from the big local dealer, they serve such a wide area that the Buddys are pretty dispersed. Been seeing much higher concentrations. w00t!

Cool, what class did you take? I've taught a few there in the past. We're so lucky to have so many great schools in town. I also teach down in Middletown, CT sometimes.

I took special effects with adobe after effects last fall. Where in Middletown do you teach? Thats where I live now.
I have an orange Buddy 125 and go down Newport every day. I must have just seen you on a black buddy going down Newport around 1:30PM today (July 23rd). You should stop by the Ann Arbor Scooter Club at and you would see many more Buddys in AA.:
When I got to work (UM north campus) I parked next to a black Buddy 50 and a Buddy Italia 150. At a different lot I saw a red Buddy 50.

Okay...about 7ish saw an orange buddy going south on NW May ave. Male rider no helmet.
Then about two minutes later...saw a rattler and gave a wave then the rattler followed me to a stop sign. Didn't get a name...bet we chatted about genuine and how fast the buddy 150's are. This was near nw 35th and western.
A bit after 5pm - Louisville Colorado - blue St. Tropez (?) headed south on Main. I was on the black buddy, headed north, waving like a fool! Good to see you!
That was most likely ME, but I can't hear hardly anything through the helmet I have. I had no idea you were even behind me. I ride that way to school, I have a black helmet and red Buddy 50cc. I do remember that day with all the utility work going on and the police officers directing traffic.

today [sunday] at around 430 pm, i witnessed someone getting on a seafoam green buddy at a gas station off of Oltorf St. before Pleasant Valley in ATX.

Shout out generalstrike...I have a bunch of different ways to get to work but I'll keep an eye out for ya!
today while i was visiting my parents in portland - around noon, at broadway & burnside - lady on a cream 125 with a "reading is sexy" sticker on the rear fender and a ducati seattle license plate holder. i pointed at her excitedly and told my dad, "see, that's my scooter! and she got it up in seattle, too!" but he was unimpressed. thanks dad!
I saw 1 red and 1 cream buddies parked next to i think a stella, at some bar near big people scooters in SODO. I was going down airport way with two stellas, one Blue one Red, I was on my red buddy... i nodded , and i think you guys waved, but we were doin about 50, so it was a pretty quick fly by.
I spotted my first Buddy today here in Des Moines, IA. Orange Buddy, driving South on 60th Street in West Des Moines around 11:00ish in the morning. Had a black milk crate on the back. I had to do a double and triple take because although I know Buddys have been flying out the dealer's door, I had never seen one!
2 sunset Buddies spotted this morning on my way to work. One on Silver Lake Blvd., north of Sunset. The other was at the corner of Beverly and Fairfax.
I saw a red Buddy turning south on Baxter Ave. (Louisville, KY) yesterday while I was on my way to Commonwealth Motorcycles! Who are you, girl? Are you on the forum?
Unique and twice observed:
Coors Ave at Coors Bypass; at a bus stop, second time, today on Montano Blvd turning onto 2nd street.
Buddy 50cc Black and Silver, with a broken headlight (missing).
Interesting pilot – over 40, under 60, long un-kept hair with a long beard, many layers of clothing – For category reasons only I would say the individual is “Permanent Residence Challenged”, I could be wrong but judging from the items lashed onto the scooter, in both instances, he was either moving with his scooter, or he was just traveling about the city.
I wish I could have the time to talk with him because he appears to be an interesting fellow – maybe next time - maybe he'll let me take a picture of him.
I don't know if this counts, but I just went to my local dealer to pickup my helmet and they got in some buddy's and Stella's. Seafoam and tangerine 125's. I think red, black and blue Stella's. Also some people 150's. Don't remember their colors.
Last night I saw two other Buddies within a block of my home in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood. One black and silver, which I had seen before, and another Italia (with owner). The ice cream under my seat was melting, so all I had time for was a honk and a wave as I rode by.
yesterday 7/30 I saw a black and silver buddy parked on belmont right around Belmont and Olive... i have seen it there before also...
And I keep seeing that Orange Buddy parked right outside my apartment on Seneca, I actually saw her riding it the other day and we smiled and waved at each other... I need to chase her down next time, less she comes forward here!
There's a new tangerine buddy in Old Town Louisville! I saw him showing off his underseat storage last weekend, and this morning he was parked across from The Huckleberry!
I spotted a brand spanking new Italia on Burnside near Vespa Portland(Where I was headed). The lady riding it was wobbling alot and looked absolutely deleriously scared out of her mind. I think she had just picked it up right then. And Burnside is a busy street! Hope you made it home ok!
