so, i went to the corona extra tournament or whatever in laguna seca, california, and i saw the actual 2008 silver ruckus, live. here are the pics, notice the new paint for handlebars:     as you can see, it's quite popular, as there is a lot of dust on the floorboard. i personally heard at least two people within 5 minutes saying they want to buy "that thing". and here is a link to my album, it's in russian, but you can figure out how to open large pictures. foto.rambler.ru/users/varroa/6/?p=1 |

I wish they would have painted the bars silver or left them gloss black. The matte black they used for the Silver Ruckus and also for the Camo ones from previous years seems prone to rusting. My friends 2006 has got rust spots all the bars and he babies that thing.

 Clear will kill the flat paint effect

Flat never looks all bright and shiny like all the BARC and RTD crew like.

Yeah, here on the Correct Coast, we like things utilitarian.
