Hi people

Hi ;D

I'm speaking freely to say I've missed the forum and now I'll try to be back. I've been buried under too much organizing and work. I would have been back sooner but I didn't know where to start. The forum is a busy place and if you miss a week you're out of the loop. I really miss chatting with you guys

Scrib and others have Emailed letting me know I was caught on film I guess it was only a matter of time. I was hoping to meet someone from Ruckus Central at the Vegas Rally but it was still lots of fun.

So I'm not sure where to start. I don't know if people asked tech questions that didn't get answers or what. I'm sure with all the knowledgeable people on the forum everything was OK ;D I'm just going to go forward from here.

I did check some topics and noticed some nice things said about Battlescooter. You guys are the best You don't know how much it means to read that stuff. I'm doing my best to get more stuff for Battlescooter, like more pages in tech and pictures.

You guys are the best ;D

I would have come but Vega is along way fora guy on a 40mph scooter to ride to from Vnacouver Canada. Besides the fun of the ride, do you have any good stories from the meet?

Nice beard! I'll spare you the abe Lincoln joke.

Oh, Abe, you can't no how much I've missed you...

I'm not sure. It was lots of fun. Friday night we(50+ scooters) zig-zagged through a rainy Vegas, it was a blast. I must say we caused a Ruckus A guy crashed on a corner and we broke some laws.

Sat. we rode from Vegas to Hoover Dam the long way, again in the rain, really bad. A guy loaned in a support vehicle loaned me his helmet because he saw me shielding my face with my hand(boy driving hard rain can hurt sometimes). We lost tons of riders, not sure what happened to them

Sun. We rode to RedRock park, again with tons of other scoots and had a blast. I still had the other guys helmet because I couldn't find him. Got back to Vegas for some more action ;D The pic of me talking to a guy in a bomber jacket is when I got my helmet back(boy I love my dirt bike helmet). They had a gymkata which was a blast but it was cut short because someone decided to break a leg The ambulance came and the party was over.

I had a great time. I was surprised how nice Vespa and Lambretta people were to this Japanese scoot guy. It really is a Euro scoot meet, I guess all are. If you like scoots you are in like flint ;D

Everyone needs to go to scooter rallies, you will have a good time.

Ruckass-- You could have ridden your scoot down
As long as you had lots of time off work....

Kami-- You miss my bizarre thought process?

Hey Abe,

From the Vegas pics it looks like you are running with-out an air filter ?

[Kami no Chiizu]

Oh, I miss everything about you!

[Ruckass]

I been hanging with the Vespa club here in Vancouver and yeah they are great guys. All DIY types. In a strange sort of way they kinda dig my Ruck for its RAT BIKE esthetic but with some serious luxuries that even they dont have; electric start, liquid cooled, no oil mix at every fill up. But of course I can't keep up.

Thanks Kami

Ya, no air filter. I'm a bad seed. Actually it was raining way too bad for no fender and an open airfilter. This is the same reason I say keep the OEM airbox or use an enclosed filter. I sold the enclosed filter off my scoot, they are way on backorder and I'm not a big fan of the OEM airbox. Let me explain, the stock airbox is big and not easy to remove. I take my scoot apart so much I don't want to fool with an airbox.

Everyone is real nice. I think we should invade the scene and take control. We are cooler

[abe]

Thank you nice lady. I missed you too

I love my Ruckus..... a lot
