I am 'thisismikefox' and this is my Ruckus  Her name is Dirty Rice. I'm from Louisiana, born and raised. One of my favorite dishes is dirty rice. I'm riding a Honda. Since a lot of people refer to Japanese vehicles as Rice Rockets or Rice Burners, and the people that drive/ride them as Ricers, I figured that Dirty Rice is a perfect fit.  The file box I turned into some much needed under-seat storage  My helmet. An Icon Mainframe that I picked up from craigslist for $25  Me and my Ruckus at the Summer Smokies Rally  Here are the mods that I've made. Blue clutch springs Daytona kevlar belt KN Kikaku variator Dr Pulley 6gram sliders JC Lightened flywheel B&S air filter Chanito windshield Blackberry and GPS mount 12volt outlet in battery box Hidden horn in battery box Michelin Bopper tires in stock sizes More to come soon.  |

Ha! It was on.....and then I wrecked last Friday at the Smokies Rally. Your windshield actually survived with just a few scratches on the plexi and a few on the right side bracket. I'll get pics of it installed once I get my Ruckus back home.

He didn't mention the weight he shaved off by knocking off a mirror and part of the radiator guard.  |

I rode from Alcoa, TN to Canton, GA on Friday. Since then, I haven't been on it. I'll be riding tomorrow and hopefully soon I'll be throwing on some recently acquired parts.

About 6 hours. Carrie was driving her car and she'd stop about every hour or so and wait for me to catch up. She had her dog with her so he kept her company. We stopped for dinner, for gas once, for sonic drinks. It wasn't too bad.

I would have to agree. I'm waiting to add a few parts that have come in. Hopefully I'll have some updated pics pretty soon.

I SCRAPED THE KICKSTAND TODAY!
I honestly never thought that would happen. I wasn't trying to, but I've become more comfortable since I have been riding every day now. I was just making a turn and I heard this wicked loud scraping noise. When I got to work I looked to see that there were fresh scrape marks on my kickstand. In-double-sane!
.....but anyway....
I'm going to do some work this weekend I'll be sure to add pics after it's done.
