new buddy owner

Decided to take the plunge with a 09 buddy 125 - red from a dealer trying to wipe his inventory. I didn't get a smashing deal, but good enough. $2500 OTD.

It fit in the back of my wagon too.

Just started riding it and it has quite alot of pickup to 55.

Loving it - Ill let you know more tomorrow.

As for a name, I haven't put much thought into it, but I kinda like Bernard.

I had a friend in junior high school named Bernard. He carried a briefcase to school, was the smartest kid there, on the very top of the Honor Roll and every teachers favorite student.

Hanging out with him was awesome since we got away with SO much. Just because he was a brainiac.

Oh, and he carried Playboy's in said briefcase.
Wow hadn't thought of him in a long while.

All true... no stretching of the truth what so ever.

You can use it as an escape pod! If the car ever breaks down, pop open the hatch and ride to safety. Sure beats jumper cables and a gas can.

You've got a point. A damned good point!

Ha! That is awesome. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get my Buddy 125 home when I drove to the dealer. But that is what poor friends are for, easy to bribe. :^)

BTW, I just had my first service and wow the performance difference is great! Easier to get to, and ride, at 55MPH. So let 'er break in and you will be even more happy!

What was the mileage you took her in for the first service?

BTW I named it Nardo - variation on Bernard

EDIT: I want the hell out of that Honda city and Motocompo pckg.

296 miles.

And could not help to pick up a 34 liter GVI top case while I was there.
