Not sure where to begin because my pink Buddy just turned
19,000 miles in less than 2 years. That’s a lot of scooting!
I am an x-ray tech in Cincinnati, Oh. I have been
specializing in Bone Density Testing (DEXA scans for
osteoporosis evaluation) the last 7 years. Needless to say,
my nickname is
Bonegirl, on all the
scooter/motorcycle sites.
Deathly afraid of motorcycles,
mostly due to what I have x-rayed in my occupation, my
husband convinced me to go along just for the ride’ because
he wanted to look at a scooter. Our first stop was Metro
Scooter in Cincinnati and I came home that day with the 2006
Genuine Pink Buddy! Had no idea how to ride the thing but he
wanted to buy a scooter and I didn’t want to be left out. I
took the MSF Course on the Buddy and the rest is history. I
admit I wear all the gear, all the time. It’s summer and
folks always want to know if I’m hot. My husband’s answer is
‘I’d rather sweat than bleed’; works for me.
The jacket is a Cortech LRX
.
It is what I wear now in the winter because it has the
quilted liner as well as waterproof. The helmet in the photo
is a Vega Altura full face but I recently switched to a
better helmet (wore that one out!). Gloves are also Cortech
mesh summer gloves. I didn’t have my riding pants on in the
picture because we were just next to our hotel snapping some
pics.
