UHLAWPUP Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 In a rare moment of weakness, SheWhoMustBeObeyed is repenting making me sell my Hooligan 170 motor scooter and thinks that a Rukus would be great for me to tool around the neighborhood and terrorize Metro buses with. Before I spend three grand, is there anything I should know? It’s small and light, and I can get the panels for it to make under seat storage. And 30 mph is fast enough for me. At my age, it’s the folks in their expensive SUVs that should be worried about ME. Thoughts? This was me a few years ago on my Hooligan, heading to the courthouse... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmohme Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I had thought about a Ruckus for me to haul my photo equipment around at horse shows, but just could't make myself spend that much money on one, especially since with age has come mass that I need to keep under control. So I bought walking shoes and a backpack instead. But yes, the Honda Ruckus is a pretty cool utilitarian ride with lots of aftermarket support to make it into nearly anything to fit your needs.

UHLAWPUP Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Good to hear. With my back and neck problems, I can't walk too far or stand still for too long. She bought me a small electric scooter that folds up and fits in the back of the Jeep, but I think this will be perfect for short errands and to get me out of the house. The Hooligan and their ilk is a bit big and heavy. The Ruckus seems just about right. So far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, the presiding judge would come to the court I was prosecuting in just to see what I was wearing. Those are mild, compared to some I have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always had special socks and ties for every holiday when I was working. Now I still wear my socks still for special events, the ties have been pretty much been retired.
