Two-fer today: seafoam green Buddy 50 in the Fishburne parking deck at Emory University today. On the way there spotted a red 50; guy with his kid pulling onto N Decatur Rd, but instead of the kid riding on the back he was in front.

Moved to Tucson last August. I see Buddys all over the place. But then there is a shop near me called Scoot Over (http://www.goscootover.com/) that sells a lot of Buddys. Of all the scooters I see out on the road, about half of them are Buddys. (Oddly, most of the ones I see parked are not. Maybe Buddy owners like to ride theirs more.)

I bought my Buddy in Lawrence Kansas and rode it even in the winter (except when there was ice on the roads). I am really loving not even needing to worry about it being too very cold here in Tucson. My Buddy is the only motorized vehicle I own. After my (now - ex-) fiancee and I moved here, I convinced her to get a Buddy to replace the motorcycle she sold because she never rode it. She rides her Buddy all the time. I also met a friend who only owns a Buddy and a bicycle.

Green 170 with crash bars, traveling west just ahead of us on Monument Avenue! We didn't get to catch up before he turned onto Willow Lawn Dr.

that Pamplona is always at TJ's. The owner works there. I saw a Blue stella on pacific Highway last tues wed. and another buddy (unsure of color) on Monday in the rain last monday. I was in the cage. It kind of spooked me because given it was dark and rainy it was practically invisible.

Pink Buddy last night on our group ride. In fact, the pink Buddy that used to belong to me and my wife! The rider joined us halfway into the ride. Very nice and a little weird to see someone else riding it.

Meanwhile, very nice Buddy turnouts overall at our rides recently!

A tad late

but last May on a Friday night, a young lady in her party dress (strapped down for modesty) on a Red Buddy 125 near White Rock Lake in Dallas.

Buddy Italia 150 outside of Michael's in Mission Valley.

I spotted a seafoam Buddy 50 with a rear basket at the Midtown TJ's yesterday around noon.

peabody99 · Post by **peabody99** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 12:53 am

riding up the coast north bound we saw a tangerine orange buddy heading south in Carlsbad. I saw it too late to wave which made me sad since the rider waved. Then as we headed south we passed him again in Leucadia and I got to wave (in case the rider is on here, we were the yellow vespa and red kymco). It was a great day (70 and sunny) for a Christmas ride up up the coast, but did not see to many scoots

San Diego is German for Whale's Vagina. True story. Ask Ron Burgundy.
Ingraham is down PB way.

saw a pink buddy giving us all a bad name today:

Cannon Road under the I-5 heading towards the outlet mall approx 1pm in Carlsbad, CA

She was riding sans any gear, wearing a 1/2 helmet and riding illegally in the bike lane. It's hard enough to convince non-riders these aren't toys without people doing silly stuff like illegally using the bike lane

Guy on an Italia, half-helmet, cruising along eastbound on La Cienega from the 405. Two Buddy's showing the cages how its done! w00t!

scubadoobie · Post by **scubadoobie** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:59 pm

Caught a glimpse of a seafoam green Buddy (like mine!) heading east on Cambridge at Fannin in the Texas Medical Center just after 8:00 this morning. Driver had a white 3/4 (I think) helmet. It was a quick glimpse as s/he zipped through the intersection.

Also saw an orange Buddy parked by the bike rack near the south entrance to Baylor College of Medicine. This was yesterday, but I've seen it there before. There are half-dozen or so (various models) around the Baylor bike racks on any given day...scooter friendly institution!

shuyaku · Post by **shuyaku** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 8:02 pm

Buddy's everywhere yesterday morning...

Around 8:45-9sih in the morning - Italia heading south on Whitsett at Oxnard. Male rider i think - Nolan helmet.

Few minutes later, orange Buddy heading East on Oxnard at Laurel Canyon. Black leather jacket with strips on the back.

and then finally (maybe 7-10 minutes later) - red buddy headed West on Riverside near Colfax (I think). I think i have seen this buddy two up before.

saw a st. tropez parked outside razorbacks barber shop in Long Beach yesterday.

13:30 CST Pamplona parked on the south side of the intersection 3rd ave & S 6th St downtown Minneapolis. Someone drove to work today, and I don't blame them a bit. Current temp: 52F

Hat's off, sir or madam. And have a lovely commute home!

Edwub · Post by **Edwub** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 9:02 pm

I always see a green Buddy parked on the UCLA campus, that sports a "BEND, OREGON" bumper sticker on the back.

I see a ton of scooters daily so I don't want to use this thread often, but the bumper sticker helps make this one stand out. See it pretty frequently parked near mine.

NYCFRog · Post by **NYCFRog** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 6:31 pm

This morning around 8:45am..A friendly and great looking guy on a Red Stella at Riverside and Vineland and then again on Cahuenga going towards Hollywood. Great to run into you (not literally of course!) Eric and have a quick chit chat!

peabody99 · Post by **peabody99** » Sat Jan 21, 2012 3:40 pm

San Diego, Thursday (1/19) morning a red buddy heading south bound on Park Blvd. They waved!!!!! (I was on the Vespa)

Later, a light blue buddy heading east on University in Hillcrest. I was parked. Later I saw it parked out in front of Urban Mo's

fishoutofwater · Post by **fishoutofwater** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 9:19 pm

A light blue Buddy in Hillcrest this morning, could it be the same one? On the corner of Washington and Goldfinch where the Liberty Tax employees wearing Statue of Liberty costumes stand on the sidewalk and wave to the cars, the rider on the Buddy was waving back and honking like crazy. Hilarious, it made my day!

Saw a green Stella while eating lunch at Tombstone AZ. pretty cool cause thats Harley territory.

Finally saw a fellow Blur in my area! Gunmetal 220 on Victory Blvd. near Costco (Burbank) today @ 4:30p. Rider was wearing a 3/4 helmet with visor and basketball shorts. I was in my car at the time. I would have ridden mine but I needed to take the car today.

blorf · Post by **blorf** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 2:20 am

I saw an Italia and a Pomplona together on 4th street in Long Beach by MVP's. Honked to the crowd, the horn always impresses

Today at Hampton and Davis in Dallas, a black Stella.

Red Stella in 440 business park Nashville.

Post by **ericalm** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 3:26 am

I pass a St. Tropez, parked in the same place in Hollywood, on my daily commute. It's new for that location, I think. Hope it gets ridden!

jijifer · Post by **jijifer** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:50 am

dude on an orange buddy on Cannon crossing El Camino Real today at 3:30pm - alas I was in a cage.

DanielPerrin · Post by **DanielPerrin** » Wed Feb 01, 2012 5:53 am

It looked like a seafoam Buddy, this morning around 7:45 AM. He was turning north from Northwest Expressway onto MacArthur Blvd.

black sunshine · Post by **black sunshine** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 3:17 pm

saw someone heading down Piedmont Ave in Atlanta on a Pamplona - and it looks like they had Lil Buddy's deadlight mod installed! sadly, i was walking to the scooter shop to buy a new battery so i couldn't give the wave or anything

brianwheelies · Post by **brianwheelies** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 12:10 am

Pink Buddy 125 with Ducati stickers and a bouncing top box in North Seattle.

Very surprised how quick the scooter was!

neotrotsky · Post by **neotrotsky** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:55 am

Two for one today!

-White Roughhouse (I think... don't know any White rattlers) on Central and McDowell in Downtown Phoenix going Eastbound. Half-Helmet and totally oblivious to me in the adjoining intersection.

-Creme Buddy 50 (could tell by the engine buzz) going Southbound on Rural Road and Apache on ASU Campus.

C2 · Post by C2 » Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:47 pm

This one is a bit late... my life is... shall we say "complex" these days...

About a week ago... you were a Red 125 (150?) with matching topcase parked at the Wendy's on Ralston @ Old County Rd. Drove by with my GF... made me sad that my Buddy is still on the fritz.

Sigh...

Tuesday mid-day; orange Buddy 50 going down Clarimont towards 85. Older guy too and he looked pretty determined not to let the traffic bug him. Clairmont/Lavista can be hairy at certain times of the day.

jmazza · Post by **jmazza** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 7:37 pm

Last night around 9:30pm, an Italia (I think a 150) parked on the sidewalk outside the Bug Theater in Denver.

Jmazza, that was me! I was performing and my wife had to be up really early so I drove Yoda. It was really cold at 2am when I rode home, but no one was out so it was also very fun.

This morning I saw a Black buddy 125 at either the Westminster or Broomfield parknride. Had a windshield and aftermarket tires on it, so it looks well used but also well maintained.

I used to live just south of Jeffco Airport in the pre-Inverness days. Was back in the area last year

What happened? All the empty land on the west of 36 is built up and StorageTek is gone?
