Twinkies?

Well I guess Corazzo isn't shipping until the 11th so it's gonna be a while before we're twinkies.

Buell_Buddy · Post by **Buell_Buddy** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:04 am

Let's see if I can make it in under the wire...

And a forum introduction from me, first post.

One new Buddy Blackjack, from Route 66 in Marina del Rey. A big thank you to Jessica Baur at Route 66 for making the deal enjoyable.

Total was $4266 out-the-door. Purchase was enabled by a $6100 check from State Farm, in compensation for my poor wrecked Buell XB12S, which was totalled last month; it was T-boned out from under me by a red-light-running 88-year old lady in a Cadillac. I'm hurting all over, but miraculously, still alive...

Anyway, greetings and Happy New Year to you friendly scooteristas from me, old Tom in Santa Monica. As you can see, I still suffer from incurable Buell-mania, but I look forward to joining y'all on some scooter rides this coming year.

Buddys and Buells are NOT a contradiction: riding a rocketship 1125R around the narrow streets and alleys of Santa Monica is pretty awkward; not unlike trying to fly an F-16 inside a hangar. The scooter, however, is just perfect for urban streetfighting. This Blackjack is a real hoot. Its like the world's most pissed-off bunny rabbit!

My advice for the new year? Look out for those old bats in Caddys!

Post by **ericalm** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:08 am

Hey, Tom, great first post! Welcome to the site and congrats on the new Buddy.

If you want to keep up on our local rides, check out our group here:

Got some good ones coming up. Hope you can make it out. Buddy riders get a free patch when I remember to bring them.

Personally, I think the SPEND-A-THON should last until Three Kings Day.

PeterC, I refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kings_Day, which is January 6. Not like it matters, as my pinche familia didn't get me jack squat!
