Quick Hello From a new Buddy Italia Owner

Post by 8 ACES »

Hi everyone. I have joined the fold with a 2007 Buddy Italia 125. Trading in the Honda Ruckas 50cc. My wife is doing the same and she is deciding between the 2008 mint green and the 2007 orange colors. I am happy that we found the Genuine Buddy world and look forward to spending quality time on the scoots and this site.

Welcome! I was going to tell you that you'll have to learn how to 'hang on,' because of the quickness of your new scoot. But, I see you have a Ducati so you already know how to hang on. :D

Welcome 8! You'll enjoy your Italia. I've only put a 100 miles on my '07 125 so far, but it's obvious my Ducati's already very jealous. Ride safe.

Cool, another GT owner! I think I bought the first or second gray GT available in Denver and it's been a blast over the last 20 months. Between MB and MV there are quite a few Ducati owners around.

Welcome and enjoy the SI, it's a great little scooter.

Welcome to Modern Buddy! Since you've been lurking for a proper amount of time, I'm going to assume that I can skip the usual litany of warnings about riding gear and MSF courses and full-face helmets and... well, you know. :wink:

Again, welcome to Modern Buddy.

P.S. No flip-flops! Did we mention no flip-flops? :roll:

Yes, I have all of the gear needed and know the value of such. I also took the MSF course from Ride Chicago before I got the Ducati. I would highly recommend the course to anyone. No flip flops either. That would really make me nervous.

I have not purchased them yet. I will be doing that tomorrow, Friday Mar 28. Looking forward to the new ride though.
