Almost a scooter owner!
I usually lurk here, but I just HAD to share this bit of really good news:
I am totally jazzed....this morning I put down my deposit on a 2009 Tangerine Buddy 125. It still has to be ordered, and I need to take my motorcycle class, but I am FINALLY getting my scooter!!
It's my Christmas/40th birthday present to myself, and I am just. so. thrilled!
Now I have to shop for all the extra necessaries: riding jacket, gloves, scooter lock, etc...
YAAAAY!!!!!

Welcome and congrats!
Locks and security are very important, especially in RVA which had a scooter theft crime wave this year. At least three of our members got hit by it.

Welcome to the club! I love riding my scooter more than I ever thought possible and I hope the same goes for you.

Awesome! Congrats!! It's always great to add another member to the Genuine ranks (and add a ModBud member as well!).
Can't wait to read the first ride report- it's a must around here, as soon as you stop grinning.
It's also great to see the words "motorcycle class," "riding jacket," and "gloves" in your post. We like safe riders We like unsafe ones too, actually, but you know what I mean.

Congrats, Welcome, etc!!!!
Ride the heck out of that thing! Don't let a little "chill" keep you off of it.
I ride year-round in Denver (unless there is snow on the roads).
Rode today and it was about 30 degrees! (I was in San Diego last week and it was close to 80!. I didn't wish I was on my scooter though; those whackos drive even faster than when I moved away in '95!)
Just dress appropriately and it's no problem.

I plan to ride in the cold, as long as the roads are safe and snow and ice free. I'm pretty cold-tolerant.
Got word yesterday that my scoot is on it's way to Richmond, so I should have it this time next week! Woohoo!!
I'll be sure to post pics (of me riding around the neighborhood because I can't take a class til January )
