Modern Buddy

mmmmm... Dreamsicle!

i just love those colors. hope you get it soon.

SO I'M GETTING THE ITALIA AFTER ALL!!! Looks like the "DREAMCYCLE" will not
be in existence (at least not by my hand).
So, I didn't know how I could possibly improve on the Italia.

well... there is ONE thing...

I liked the two-tone & whitewalls of the SI, but I like the orange with brown seat (plus it's a little cheaper). So I wanted to make a Special Edition Sunset to get the best of both worlds! >>CHECK IT!

I just thought some other folks might like to post their
drawings/photo manipulations of their "DREAM BUDDY".

I like... I like alot!

I'd take a buddy over a blur if it could do that! Transforming buddy!

Here's my latest dream Buddy....

Okay, you might just be a little nerdier than me...
ALTHOUGH I was planning on calling my buddy the "GREEN HORNET" until I saw somebody else's orange buddy called 'the brown hornet.' I'm a big Bruce Lee fan if you couldn't tell.

...

I'll really show my nerdiness by letting y'all know the main reason I like the Pamplona is cuz
it reminds me of Ironman...

You just have to make the red darker and the cream into gold! TEE HEE!

OKAY, TIMOUT!!!
Vaderscoot wins the NERD ALERT AWARD!

oops... I meant 'timeout' hehe

I do like those rims tho vaderscoot...

I almost bought a model of Vader's starfighter the day before yesterday, but I had to save up to get my helmet today.

This is the real vader buddy!

Vader mask front paintjob, and empire logo feet area.



A 5 minute photoshop'd picture I did

After seeing the Ironman flyer you made I started thinking it would be dope if Genuine had some kind of cooperative promotion with Marvel for the Ironman movie. Win a Ironman Buddy or some such.

that's funny i was picturing a wonder woman scoot instead of ironman, but i guess it would have to be invisible also.

tee hee, good one.

Krusty, your paint/color combinations on the two tone orange Buddy is very eye pleasing.

How will you get the two tone seat cover? Custom made order or do your talents enable you to make one yourself.

I think Genuine should hire you for their designs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

FINALLY GOT MY BUDDY!!!
Picked it up from AAA Cooper this morning, figured I'd provide proper documentation:

I know I look rough, we went to get it literally as soon as we woke up.

here's the rest...

ok was this at the dealer or at your house? did the dealer do the prep?
good looking scoot. your going to love it looks warm where you are. it 28 out right now and my new blur is sitting in the garage.... were looking at a winter storm watch for tonight i tell ya its a all new kind of hell from waiting to get my scoot to waiting just to ride it. will spring ever come? well anyway congrats on the new ride!!!! happy scooting

The weather's a beaut right now! 60 degrees! It rained a little last night, but it's clear scootin the rest of the week I think... only its sposed to get hotter. I guess those pics I attached were all backwards. I put them on right, then when I previewed them it was backwards, so I attached them backwards thinking it would fix it, but I guess not...

I got my Bud from a dealer in Ft. Lauderdale, cuz they don't sell um around here (New Orleans is the closest dealer to me). They just shipped it yesterday & I was able to pick it up this morning, TALK ABOUT PUNCTUALITY! Anyways, I rode it up to the local scooter dealer (which is actually a Honda/Suzuki dealer that sells primarily big Honda cycles and Jet Skis and such). They sell scooters on the side, they just have a couple vinos, metros, helixes, and ruckuses.

The guy who runs the scooter section is an older dude, prolly about 275 pounds: RIDES HIS HONDA METRO TO WORK EVERY DAY FROM ENSLEY!!! Now that's commitment. I rode up on my Buddy and he immediately came out to look at it. He kept saying "I love it, I love it! It's the scooter king!"... I couldn't help but agree. I asked him about starting a scooter club and he said there already is one. Gulf Coast Scooter Club or something? I haven't looked it up yet, he gave me the dude's card. He said they go to rallies & such-and-such, so that will be sweet.

Bummer about the weather up there,
HEY! I know what will make you feel better:
MOVE TO FLORIDA!

Congrats Krusty !

So how many times, once you were back inside the house, you came out to give it "just one more look"?

Boy, you are going to have a hard time sleeping tonight waiting for tomorrow to go riding again !

Only about seven or eight looks (and counting)... I'm like "Is that really there in MY YARD?!" Still don't believe it's really mine.

congrats! I know it's such a great feeling

what dealer? I didn't think there are any in FLL- there's one in Hollywood (where I bought mine) and West Palm though. Oh wait... there's a Triumph dealer that sells Buddy's I think. I

then who did the prep work?

The Transformer Buddy is the baddest thing I've seen in a long time! I about peed my pants over it. You rock! How about doing a pink one for me? Better yet, I'd get these things on Café Press ASAP because they are ingenious! Pretty please, whip up a pink one. Grovel, grovel, beg, beg.

vaderscoot wrote:here are a couple of pics

Yuck, sorry

Those pics were taken @ my house... The dealer (Solano Cycle) is in St. Augustine, not Ft. Lauderdale. They did all the prep work before they crated it up & sent it to the freight terminal in Pensacola where we picked it up. It had only enough gas to go about a quarter mile. They must've not tested it much since it only had 0.5 miles on (I found that a little odd, too).

Anyways, it works GREAT, so I'm not really worried about it. I went from 0 to 50mph in about 2 seconds! (oops, so much for the break-in period, I didn't even notice how fast I was going!) It's mighty zippy!!!

Compared to my '97 Geo Prizm that I've been driving for the past 4 years (which, by the way has the worst acceleration of any vehicle I've ever driven) my Buddy friggin FLIES!

...um...

okay. TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!
No need to grovel tho, it's no biggie. I'm just glad you like it!

P.S. Anyone who has a request for anything, I can prolly do it,
it may take a little while tho... doesn't hurt to ask!

loving your illustrations!

Very cool Krusty....thanks for the pink version!

ok i was jus alittle worried is all i get like that im glad they preped it and then shipped it to your. im still waiting to take out my new blur haaaa isnt winter great

Hoppsan

Krusty—Nice work! You know, it's pretty darn easy to paint a Buddy. And custom upholstery doesn't cost too much for a seat that small. Or there's always scooterseatcovers.com...

As far as Bruce Lee goes, well, yeah—The Man... But how about Steven Chow or Tony Jaa for the new Green Hornet movie?

Who originally designed the italia transformer buddy? I saw it as seth's wallpaper on his laptop at metro scooter, and the same day, I saw it on these forums.

I drew that Italia transformer like last week... somebody has it as their wallpaper? I'm honored.

sorry i ruined your buddy's name by naming mine the brown hornet, i still think that the green hornet is a good name and you could do some cool graphics on it as well. i chose the name for several reasons mainly because mine scooter is in the process of a brown out (everything will be painted brown except a few orange pieces.) and i wanted to poke fun at the "wasp" thing y'know where they got the name for vespa...anyway

if you aren't getting the sunset buddy then don't be surprised if you see my wifes sunset '06 getting a makeover very similar to that first picture.

krusty thanks for adding some color to our forum

Ya, seth at metro scooter uses it on his laptop, he was playing with itunes since his laptop controls all the music in the store, when he closed itunes for a second, I saw the transformer buddy in italia green.
