 I'm kinda considering grabbing a Ruckus off of CL to tinker with until I can pick up a reasonable S30 Datsun. Can anyone gimme a basic rundown on Ruck ownership, especially whether tinkering with it is actually rewarding? I get a faint vibe that most of the Ruckus aftermarket stuff is pretty much two-wheeled ricey stuff. The Ruckus appeals to me mainly because its a scooter (which appeals to me) that doesn't look like Prince's bike in Purple Rain (which doesn't). I'm not bagging on other scooter styles, they just don't appeal to me. I kinda like the Ruckus' Mad Max ratrod potential. Any other suggestions? Houston doesn't have quite the thriving nifty vintage scooter scene that other cities do, or I would probably be looking for some busted up 70s Honda.
