new bike in the stall

[Snarley Bill]

well i was messing around on the net. yesterday and got the bug again. went to st. charles motor sports and sat on a new 1300 loaded can am. it fit like a glove. i did'nt care much for the color but i made a deal anyway. i just picked up my new 2014 honda ruckus this morning. this is the kind of things you do when you get old. it's my new winter project. got to build something for myself after finishing my buddies cushman. with 49 cc's. i should be safe out there. no license required. but it needs a little motor work to perk it up. should run okay when i get done. b2 dad ain't got nothin on me. i may bring it to arkansas and let him ride it. :rotf: snarley bill

I think it's only fair for you to post pictures. Juzt what do you mean 1300 Canam. If that be a Spyder, be careful, darn things are adictive.

Carl guess you know Linda gonna blame you for giving Bill itch for a Cam-Am

[dacheedah]

Carl,

Spyder vs Venture for comfort and touring? The good and bad please

[Marcarl]

So now we have an Ech syndrone, and we have to deal with Bill-itch as well. I'm not taking the blame for either.

Comments on the Spyder,,,,,,,, I'll post them in my thread.

it was a joke. i sat on a can am and bought a ruckus. although a can am could get addictive if you sit on it to long.

sure going to miss you in ar.. your the only one i can communicate with. we can talk for hours and not here a word we are saying. linda keeps telling me to get a hearing aid , and i tell her huh is alot cheaper.

[StarFan]

Congrats !

That is one good looking scoot Bill. Never seen these or heard of before. And they can be so easylie customised in all directions. Gotta get me one of these for a winter project. Man that would be fun.

 

Now lets see,,,,,how in the world can I convince the BOSS that every home should have one

Do they still make the larger Ruckus also?

[Snarley Bill]

Do they still make the larger Ruckus also?

no they don't make the big ruckus any more. it was a 250. i can get a 150 engine for this but that would be to easy. i want to see what i can get out of this little motor. it's kind of a challenge just to see what i can get out of it. it really has surprising acceleration and a top speed of about 41 mph. they are getting 60 mph out of them with some modifying. i just want to be able to cruise at 50 mph to start. i'm going to go hog wild on the custom looks this winter. a turbo and a touch of nitros may be the ticket. lol. maybe down the road i will go with a big motor warmed over but than it would be illegal with no license. i may buy one for linda and trike it out. in mo., no licence is required but you can't go on the highway. its just a fun project to keep me busy this winter. who knows bonneville may be over the horizen.

Yea, they also made a 150. There are a few 150s and a 250 on Ebay but they bring big money.

aha, your checking ebay already. could it be your getting the bug? I do need a vice president for the ruckus gang I am starting. you even get a pink leather jacket. the motto on the back will say (don't we look like a- holes). seriously, I love this little scoot it's going to be a fun build and good around town transportation. over 100 mpg. think im going to sell my majesty. it only gets 57 mpg. anyone want a majesty?
