there is a gang of 5 (i think) high school kids in my town who cruise around on their ruckuses (rucki?)

it is pretty funny watching them ride down the main drag trying to look hard on their scooters

It looks pretty bad ***... but I'm just wondering why did you choose to strip down an 08 model instead of getting one that was already busted to remove all the body work and do these mods to it?

I'm not knocking them...I'm knocking why he modified it for "saving gas" I bet it gets worse gas mileage and the $$$ it cost to do this will take a long as time for it to equal out with his gas savings. Oh well carry on.

I didnt buy it as a gas saver. I bought it strictly to mod it and ride to work.


My miles per gallon has not been effected too much anyways.
