Just lettin all of ya know, she's home, safely tucked into the stable until i get a little better weather to take her on the maiden voyage around the neighborhood.

Also, while i was there, they had 2 windshields and rear racks still available, so i took one of each of them and one of those bungee net things. Figured i might as well now, cause i may not get another chance, whether i actually install them or not.

So yea, i guess i am part of the super exclusice "in" crowd now!

Oh yea, and of the other 4 that were available, they are ALL gone now. All on hold or paid in full. SOOOOOO glad i got my hand in the cookie jar when I did.

Welcome to the club that's so exclusive, nobody even knows it's a club

Congrats! I still have another week to go, not gonna pick up my bouncing baby Blur until next Friday (June 20th). But when I do...carbon-fiber cigars for everyone!

Well thanks to GFridrich3's post about picking up a Blur I have done the same. Goodbye Buddy, hello Blur.

I have a Burnt Orange Mazda 6 car so I bought the Sunset Buddy. Getting a Blur instead I really wanted the '06 with the orange trim rather than ther '07 with the black and grey, but when I called the dealer they only had '07s. Well we went back and forth on details via email until yesterday morning I called to check up on things. And found out they were now sold out and hadn't held the one we were talking about.

But then talking to the manager he said he had one '06--new-- that just became available. I told him that's what I had always REALLY wanted and since this was obviously a sign from the almighty I bought it right then and there on the phone.

Should be ready next Saturday, now I just have to sell my Buddy and get someone to give me a ride to the dealership.

I know alot of people here don't love topcases on the Blur for aesthetic reasons, but I really need/want one as I've come to rely on the one on my Buddy. Given that any suggestions for a good one?

I thought being a Buddy owner was an exclusive club...while I see Buddys all the time in Chicago, I have NEVER seen a Blur outside a dealership.

Ken at scooterworks told me he has one that works well on the blur, call him and ask him.

Will do. Thanks.

Now what do people with Blur's do for a cup holder?? I'm gonna miss that little compartment on my Buddy where I kept my water bottle or travel mug. Do I just get a canteen?

once you have the rear rack, fashion a crude mounting bracket, and attach a bicycle water bottle cage to it. Easy enough and super cheap.

Either that, or if you like to ride with a backpack to carry all your extra gear and stuff, get one with a camelpack in it?
