So Excited!!!

Post by ScooterGuyRick »

:D So tomorrow, we're picking up two Buddy scooters: a Pamplona and a St. Tropez. After 4 years of riding my Honda Metropolitan, it was time to upgrade it to a bigger and better ride. These scooters caught our eye right from the get-go.

The dealership said they would probably receive the shipment in the morning, but they could deliver them as late as Saturday.

So, my main questions right up front are:

Saddlebags or top case?
Does it really have a cell phone charger?

Also, as silly as I am, I would like to find a motorcycle helmet with Mickey Mouse ears on it or devise a way to attach them to a helmet. I realize the aerodynamics of the helmet would be an issue, but as creative as you guys are, someone must be able to offer a suggestion.

Safe riding and good times,

Rick

Topcase.

Start scrolling backward on the accessories page. No mouse ears but similar stuff. Don't know where you can buy it though.

All I can say is super cute. Now that I've seen the ears with suction cups, I'm wondering if I can make my own. I will let you know what I come up with.

I like the topcase personally. I have the pamplona and the top case has the built in back rest but it's black and the pamplona's seat is tan, so I just bought some fabric at the store and recovered the backrest on the topcase. it was fast and easy.

it does have a plug for your cell phone car charger!

No one would ever wear those on a scooter.
