Modern Buddy

I think I have found the paint scheme I want for my Buddy, I like the blue. I may go a little darker though. Actual My BuBu decals would rock!

How's your Chinese? You could probably get some via Taiwan, but I don;t think it's be easy.

Another option: If you have a friend who's skilled at Illustrator, you could make copies have them produced on vinyl here at a sign shop. It may not be so sparkly, though.

Yeah I was thinking about a vinyl shop, that would probably be the best way to go, now I just need to get someone to draw it up or maybe find a nice big picture of it on the web they can work with

As if "Buddy" isn't bad enough....

why not just cover it in rainbows and Hello Kitties and Strawberry Shortcake doll stickers and crap while you're at it!

I can't wait for the next time the wife is gone for the evening with her knitting friends or something, so I can sneak the hair dryer into the garage and take every single "buddy" sticker off the damned thing!

Embrace the Buddy's origins as a cute transport marketed largely towards Asian women! There's no denying it regardless of what you call it here and what color you paint it.

I'm THAT Asian woman demographic. It worked.

I just think it would look awesome all rainbow and stars while riding in all my gear. I just kinda wanna look as out of place on it as possible for the people at my work hehe. Besides the decals are easy enough to remove I can put them on and take them off.

I am looking into getting my fullface helmet painted with maybe an Iron Maiden, Cthulhu or Oldboy (the asian movie) theme. That would rock on something like this.

I vote Cthulhu

oh man, Old boy or Cthulu would both be choice.

NIEN!

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

They peel right off, no hair drier or adhesive remover necessary. I took my bro's off before he knew what was going on

haha I peeled one of mine off and stuck it on my helmet. I totally would sport a My BuBu decal.

Woot My BuBu decal love hehe

I did order a pair of Iron Maiden Vans (total scooter shoes), but I am afraid to ride in them

Really? I ride in converse all day. But I'm a scary rebel with nothing to lose

Except, apparently, toes.

From this thread:

Not saying I've never done it... Just saying I've done it knowing what I had to lose. I feel kinda stupid even saying that.

Oh my.....

Thanks. I think I'll be wearing my boots from now on.
