I'm not sure what you mean by that but me and my 50cc Ruckus don't exactly fit the biker lifestyle.

anyhow... I like my scooter just fine. It serves it's purpose... and like I said. I've got a second one here for sale that my girlfriend isn't going to be using...

just barely I live at the bottom of some pretty steep climbs (Potrero Hill) but I make it up and over just fine. I usually go around though when the motor is cold. It's only a couple of extra blocks if I do and less stop signs. So far I'm only riding about 20 miles a week so at that rate I'll be needing to refill the tank once a month for around $5... I haven't put any gas in it yet but probably should since I don't know how much it had in it when the guy dropped it off here...

I registered both of them yesterday for $90 and my insurance is gonna be about $68 every six months.

That sounds like a nice gas-sipping ride you have there

I think it would be ok, it needs passenger footpegs though. There's a perfect place to attach them to the frame. I'm probably going to do this...

I took my girlfriend around the block on it and it seemed fine. The two of us only weigh about 255lbs together though...

I thought about a ZUMA but would've stripped off the body bits. I looked for a while but sort of got distracted... when I saw the Ruckus it was perfect for what I want...

255 together! I almost weigh that by myself.........Got to lay off the Lumpia, Got to lay off the Poi, gotta lay off the chicken. This is too much for me, I am going to KFC to order up a bucket of chicken, then I will ask the family what they want to eat
