Passed an orange (couldn't tell if it was Tangerine or Sunset) Buddy that was cruising on Sepulveda Blvd., just north of the pass, on Tuesday about 9am.

I saw a Stella riding south on SR 48 near Maineville, Ohio yesterday.

Complete with milk crate and female rider with helmet!

This doesn't actually count as a "sighting" because I was at a Genuine dealer, but they had several new deliveries they were uncrating and assembling.* One was the black-on-black-with-black-trim Buddy 170, which I must say looked worthy of Bruce Wayne. The new metallic Brit-blue Buddy 50 also caused my eyes to stray briefly from my stalwart red Flash in the repair bay.

*In a market where "new, old stock" often lingers on the showroom floor, it's comforting to see a shop bringing in new inventory.

Saw a Black 170i with silver stripe in Las Vegas on Desert Inn near Decatur. Third time ever seeing a Buddy in the wild.

I spotted an orange Stella with matching sidecar parked at the public park on Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids. With a for-sale sign on it.

Guy riding a Buddy Italia going south on May ave at Britton Rd. I was on the St. Tropez. Had a short chat at the light and I sped away (was running late for work). If you're on here, it was nice to meet you.

Oklahoma City, NW Expressway and MacArthur. I saw a black Buddy 125 Wednesday morning 7 AM. The rider had on a skirt. Finally, skirt weather!

Tangerine Buddy 125 with purple stars parked next to me today.
North Western Ave, Chicago.

Saw an Italia parked on Otterman Street in Greensburg. Nobody around but I tooted anyway thinking the owner might recognize the Stebel horn if they heard it.

Wouldn't normally post a sighting from a rally weekend, but I saw a St. Tropez parked under the awning at the Whole Foods on Broad St. in NOLA on Saturday. Somehow feels removed enough from the rally events to warrant noting.

Posted: **Wed Jun 18, 2014 1:28 am**

And saw three Buddies parked in downtown Austin today. A red one parked at 6th and I-35, a white one parked on Brazos north of 6th... and the third escapes me now. Brazos north of 7th, I think.

Oh, I got like 5 hours of fame a few months ago from an official Doctor Who page re-posting a picture.

Most people either have no idea what it is, or they won't let me go anywhere for a half hour while they stand in front of it and go nuts. It's hilarious, really. I love it.

Black RoughHouse in the parking lot of MVP Sportsplex on Burton and East Paris. It was there when I got there, and it was there when I left: you're a better person than me.

Unless you were goofing around in the outdoor pool all afternoon, in which case: just wait until you have a full-time job to go to like I do, kid.

Saw a green 170i at 1st and Limberlost around 5:15P today. Running 2up with a crate out back, both riders were smiling. Bit hot out (I saw 109° F on the thermometer) but an otherwise great day to be scooting.

Posted: **Mon Jul 07, 2014 11:23 pm**

Two kids on a white Buddy, zipping west on Robinson Road. Enthusiastic waves exchanged.

Posted: **Tue Jul 08, 2014 4:14 pm**

Yesterday. Psycho Buddy turning south on May Ave. in Oklahoma City just north of Memorial Rd.

Posted: **Sat Jul 12, 2014 2:30 pm**

Saw a bright pink buddy near me in Lacey WA. I was on College and it was turning to go the opposite direction. I am seeing more scooters, but it may be because I am noticing them now.

Posted: **Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:55 am**

Twice last week I was happily accosted at stoplights by buddy enthusiasts. All nearby my house (Far West Blvd/Steck Area in Austin).

I even got to bump fists with one of the guys before parting ways at the stoplight. It was such a pleasant surprise.

If anyone in the Austin area does weekend scooter romps round town hit me up!

In Omaha around 7:30 this evening, I saw two Stellas and a handful of other scooters on the road (Pershing?) underneath the 680 bridge over the river.

Yesterday 5pm or so, I saw an orange Bud on Sublette on The Hill, heading north. Lovely afternoon in a nice scooter neighborhood. Ciao!

I saw several Buddies in San Francisco over the weekend. They climb the hills well. Alas, no pics. I did see a lot of these electric jobs.

First twist n' go tupperscoots, now electric scoots. What is the world coming to? Time to go to my garage and breath in deliciously aromatic exhaust and listen to the lovely symphony of my exhaust.

Posted: **Fri Aug 01, 2014 6:30 am**

What kind of scoot is that above?

Posted: **Sun Aug 03, 2014 7:20 pm**

A duo of a hot-pink and a black Buddy just went past my house! (They probably didn't notice Flash sheltered on my front porch.)

Posted: **Sun Aug 03, 2014 10:58 pm**

Saw 2 white Buddies waiting to board the ferry to Bainbridge Island from Seattle this morning...

Posted: **Sat Aug 09, 2014 11:16 pm**

Hooligan, no plate, parked on the sidewalk in front of Milo's Tavern (& bocce garden). Hope the Po-lice don't figure out your new scoot and tow it....

Sea foam green Buddy spotted out in front of Eli's barbecue (Cincinnati East End) this evening, around 7:00 PM. You might have seen me blaze by on the wife's Italia.

Posted: **Sat Aug 30, 2014 12:38 am**

Saw orange buddy today, female rider, head gear only, traveling down Old Court Rd, crossing Greenspring Ave.

Posted: **Sat Aug 30, 2014 12:50 am**

Black Buddy, couldn't tell at a quick glance whether it was 50 or 125, looks like it was ridden by a student as I was dropping my kiddo off at his high school (St. Louis U. High).

Are you referring to the red, electric one with the "Scoot" on the side? That's Scoot Network in San Francisco. It's like car sharing for scooters. I was using this for awhile until I decided I needed my own and bought a Buddy.

It's a really terrific service though and very cheap.

They are a little electric number which Scoots Network customizes for their purposes. I don't know the brand name though... only that they are built in Taiwan (according to their rep).
