How do you use your Buddy most?

Post by rickko »

I was riding my Italia the other day and had a curious thought. For what purpose do we use our scooters most often. I use mine 99% of the time for running neighborhood shopping errands, going to doctor appts., etc. How about you?

If you have more than one Buddy please answer the poll for the one you use the most.

Thanks!

It isn't my only means of transportation, but weather permitting, it's my default, for commuting, errands, movies, whatever. I don't do much recreational riding on it unless I'm on a trip with it. I need to use my legs whenever possible for recreational motion.

It's my daily commuter (when there is no ice or snow on the ground) and occasional weekend fun ride.

I ride mine (RH50) to work, the store, everywhere. In our freakish Florida weather of sun then rain and hot then below freezing it makes for interesting days.

I use it for pretty much everything, but it's not my only mode of transportation so I picked option 1. I sometimes drive the car when the weather acts up or when I'm feeling really lazy. :P

its not my only mode of transportation but 98% of the time, i take the scoot...ride it to school, for groceries, to work, and joy rides around the city. the only time it doesn't get attention is when its raining out or if im going to Houston, TX to visit parents

I primarily use my scooter for my daily commute. Most of the time outside of work, I have my son with me and I don't feel comfortable with taking a passenger. He does occasionally ride on the back of my partner's scooter, though.

It's my only form of transportation... unless I want to take the bus. I live in the middle of SF so outside of some rain here and there it's pretty much great scooting weather year round.

When there's no snow on the ground and temp is above 40 or so, I use my scooter for everything...groceries/commuting/errands. It's nice because the truck can stay parked about 7.5 months of the year.
