Honda Ruckus is what really caught my eye. Everytime I go to the mall, I see one in the parking structure. It's stretched with an upgraded exhaust. Looks great.

As far as drift trikes, just a simple gravity powered one. No motor.

Told ya this thread would be a hit bro! Lots of people dig these things, myself included! Do you build them to sell or just for yourself?

jd50ae

That is the best looking one I have ever seen. I had no idea they could be "worked".

wahooschock

Just myself at the moment .but id work on someones if they wanted..I dont take money though lol.this ones still not done I have to do my fenders and paint my wheels . Love the look of mets. Same frame as a ruckus up front but way better aerodynamics.

wahooschock

Thanks.this ones mild.some are crazy with 2000$$$ wheels mine wher 40$ lol

mmccartneydc

Cool, I'd want one with a wheelie bar on it! LOL

wahooschock

Try riding one first. That's what finally put me off. It's like doing 3/4 of a sit up against the wind. Terrible, terrible ergos.

wahooschock:

as for peds being dweeby check out tomahawk mopeds

Yah, that's not a moped. That's a Puch with pedal start. You want cool? Try this Yammie Y125:

Great looking Met, bro! I'm itching for a Ruck but can't swing it right now. Maybe down the road I'll finish my bar-hopper then sell it to afford the Ruck and mods I want to do.

First Warrior

In 1963 i had a blue Lambretta scooter. I could get 65 mph out of it wound out down a 1 mile hill.

wahooschock

I want a lambretta...my girl wants one more than I do though. She wants to rat it and let it rust some.

wahooschock

still a lot to be done.but getting there.

dr_frankenstein56

That yammy is just sexy... Its got sway and its not even moving! Here is my little pit mini I built for the races



I need to upgrade my rear sprocket for better speed and a turbo is in the works for the future!

mo So many upgrades for those.

dr_frankenstein56

I know it, and so cheap too. I already have the carb and ignition upgraded, I'd like to do turbo and a ported head in the future

Port and turbo yourself or sending it out?

dr_frankenstein56

Do it myself, shouldn't be too bad. I figure the hardest part of it all is getting the turbo to spool with only 150cc , but I think a small shot of nos will get it spinning.

Cold and slow cause im cold and low...tis the season

21 degrees on the porch again this morning. We are in the iron grip of gorebull warbling, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Days like this, I ride the KLR, cause the engine is small and has an automatic compression release for starting. Starts easily enough when you first roll out of the garage; but after all day sitting in the office parking lot, the oil gets thick, and it's just tough to get things spinning. Murdercycle batteries are such wee bitty things. And the engines are right out there where the breeze chills them. There's a guy on a bicycle with a Chinese whizzer, who I often see en route. Haven't spotted him for a while. Think he may have packed it in for the season. Or else his whizzer took a whizz. Still see the rare Harley. There's a girl used to come to yoga class on her Kymco. I forget what model. Nice little matching trunk on it. Saw her at class yesterday. She drove her cage. Told me I was insane. Course, a few beemeristas are still at it with their heated suits. Scoots not so much.

There ought to be more scooters on the road. They just make sense.

Agreed. On so many levels lol. I ride year round like a postal worker...not Newman lol.but depression is more a downer than hail or sleet.

dr_frankenstein56

I got tired of riding mine. Im in the process of hanging it up in my entryway along with my triumph daytona.
