Modern Buddy

Who's yappin' instead of riding?

Well… I am but I have excuses.

MPP (miles per post) = TOTAL SCOOTER MILES RIDDEN SINCE JOINING MB / TOTAL # OF MB POSTS

I'm estimating mileage and rounding to hundredths here, but I have 2.15MPP on Modern Buddy and 4.85MPP on Modern Vespa.

Even if I combined all posts from both sites and accounted for joining MV before I had a scooter and joining MB a year after MV, I'd still be just under 2MPP.

I'm pretty sure there are people out there who don't live in the Sahara or Antarctica who have under 3MPP. Some will have under 1 and should probably measure in PPM.

I sure as hell don't want to discourage posting, but if your MPP is under 3, you probably need to spend less time posting, more time scootering!

18669 miles / 717 posts = 26.04

43mpp. But I'm not very chatty.

Using round numbers...

46,100 miles / 363 posts = 127 MPP

Just the Buddy- 18,200 miles / 363 posts = 50 MPP

~10 MPP

Quit bothering me...I'm trying to ride...

--Keys

just passed 11,150 miles with 1085 posts... 10.28 MPP. I know, I need to shut up a little bit more. Got mine in July '09, so we'll say 21 months, average 30 days per month, we'll guess 630 days riding. Gives me 17.7 miles per day average. I'm content with that since it's urban here and I walk to work most days, working about 10 days per month.

Hey Everybody!

I thought this would be a good place to make my first post.... Got my Blackjack on Feb 12th and love it!

I guess that would make my MPP = 1810/1 = 1810

Aaaannnd I've got another 60 mi planned today!

Thanks for being such a great resource MB!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on snagging one of the last BlackJacks in the country! Since you're local, consider joining up with out LA Scooter Group. Lots of great rides and events coming all summer long!

well I have 3996 miles on the two scoots and 2270 posts so that makes 1.76 mmp. So sad but hey, I'm kind of obssessive compulsive and I live in michigan. I also have four bicycles that need love too

I was actually thinking about how few miles I have on the two scoots and I think much of it has to do with the fact that I live 4.9 miles from work and I generally don't go more than 10 miles for anything else. It's kind of nice to live in a city where everything you need is very close to where you live. Makes a scooter the perfect vehicle so long as it's not snowing

37,000 /1,524 =24.3 mpp (that's all my scooters combined)

I have no idea how many miles I've ridden since I joined this forum... especially since I don't remember how many miles were on my p200 when I bought it and my Buddy speedo cable was disconnected for a while. Not to mention other people's scoots I've ridden...

I've got around 13500 on just the Buddy odo right now, so divide that by 3313 posts is like 4MPP.
Pretty weak if you ask me, but hey, I'm online working a lot and I often "multi task".

ModernBuddy 10 MPP
ModernVespa 22 MPP
I need talk less and ride more for sure!

Rounding ever so slightly to 6,000 miles, I'm at 11.9 mpp.

Buddy-only miles it's closer to 9mpp.

AAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!

31.4

I am committed to maximizing my Buddy experience!

14.06.

...but I was on MB before I had a scooter.

Sorry, I would have posted earlier, but did a 150 mile ride as part of a poker run today.

I'm at 28mpp. Interesting statistic, Eric.

Howard

I'm at 27 mpp

14500/2742=5.3

2742????!!! Dang. I really gotta get a life. In my defense, I work from home so I have absolutely zero commuting miles on my scooter, and I am constantly on MB as part of my daily procrastination routine.

I guess I'm trailing at 8,800 miles and 541 posts. (16.266 mpp)

Miles I put on................................................................................(Includes miles already on scooter when I bought it)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.........800 on my Majesty (have owned for 5 months) ....................... 2,500 on the odometer (approximate).
......2,400 on my MP3 (have owned for 16 months) .......................... 2,500 on the odometer (approximate).
......2,400 on my 2008 Buddy that I sold (owned for 17 months)....... 2,500 on the odometer (approximate).
......3,200 on my 2009 Buddy (purchased new)................................. 3,200 on the odometer (approximate).
......-------
......8,800 miles since June 2009

Fortunately I joined the forum before I owned the scoot, so it's easy to figure out the mileage.

9600 miles / 2200 posts = 4.4 miles/post. Please "handicap" this for living in a climate with four-month winters.

Believe me: I'd rather be riding than posting, but I can't ride between support phone calls at work.

~10.58 miles/post... but only posting since 3/27/11, and have been riding lightly until I get my engine swapped for one that won't melt down underneath me.
.

10,716 miles / 250 posts (including this one) = 42.864mpp

I believe that's a respectable number.

2447 miles / 45 posts = 53.4 mpp

Kind of sad considering I that until this morning I had 4 scooters (just sold the 50's).

10.8mpp for the Buddy – 64mpp Vespa – The Buddy was a new and exciting experience so I couldn’t stop talking about it

15,000 miles /706 posts here on mb gives me 21mpp
but if you look over at zf
where i have 7500 posts that would put me at 2mpp there
and if you add up all the scooter boards im on im down in the 1mpp range

so you sold your wi scoots

Does it make a difference?
It changes the count, I was on the site almost two years before I got my Buddy...

mpp = 1.4
ppm = .7 , not any better
waiting a year for a 4T will do that but its still no excuse. I should shut up.

5.7, but I'm willing to bet a ton came before I bought the Buddy. On the other hand, the Buddy is getting more and more miles by the day (Just passed 500).

Posts: 2270
Buddy miles: <12200
Stella miles: >600

So 12,800 miles / 2,270 posts = 5.64 mpp

I don't know what this means.

It means you yap on the interwebs approximately 3.204545454545455 times less than I do

Oh, I know there are many reasons for people's various numbers. Mine are shameful! I just think it's an interesting and curious metric for folks' activity. Nothing scientific and it doesn't really mean much. Though some folks need to get out and ride more.

That means me, too.

Me too although that's not one of them since it can be expressed as 564/176. The calculator rounds which is where the two 5's at the end come from Wonder how much more I'd have to ride in order to bring my mpp up to phi rounded to say two decimals places?

Your my hero for today I set up a computer to give me the first million digits of phi, why I wasted that much dot matrix paper is beyond me but for some reason I found it awesome at the time.

Ooooh, it's on now.

Well, I've got 80k-ish scooter miles down since joining MB, and I have the 3rd highest post count on MB at 4773 giving me 16.76MPP

Ha! After, umm, some decades of non-use all I remember is enough math to make (incorrect) jokes!

My sqrt(-1) friend and I are impressed.

12,600 miles
700 posts
18 mpp

But I didn't have a car for 2.5 years.
But I live 3 miles from work.
But we do get snow here.
But not much snow.
But I don't really mod out my scooter and discuss all that.
But I do a lot of my own maintenance and learn on here.
But I was out of the country for 3 months - in summer.
But I've been on here for 4.7 years
...

I don't know whether to defend not scooting more or not posting more...

Well we fit in there somewhere...

Personal: 11,400 MPP 33 (mine averaged)

Family: 23,700 MPP 69 (averaged for all three riders)

3065 posts and… man I don't ride much these days, I don't even wanna think about it.

.006478 MPP
