So rather than make a build thread, i'll just post up as my Daily "members rides". I've already done most of the work (and documented it) so it's not really a "build" anymore. Still have some work to do, but it's going to stay like this for a while.
Before:
During:
As it sits now:
For those of you who don't know, the Honda Ruckus comes with a 49cc motor and averages about 35mph @ 100 mpg. I've since swapped in the GY6 150cc motor and am now averaging about 68 mph @ 85-90 mpg.
So yeah, it's my daily driver right now while living in California. I'm planning to daily it once I move to Las Cruces New Mexico this fall as well. All together, I have $4,100 invested including the cost of the "bike" and have received more comments on it than any other car/bike i've ever owned (minus my Supercharged NSX). I REALLY like it and plan to keep it for a long long time. It's too convenient, efficient, and fun to sell it like I always do with all my rides.
Lastly, my other ride:
ok, not really mine but the reason I've been away from the boards for nearly half a year. This is Virgin Galactic's Spaceship 2 being carried by White Knight 2, being towed out to the runway before our last rocket launch earlier this year.... And the reason i'm moving to New Mexico (Spaceport America is there).
