Looking good! How are your fellow Los Angelenos treating you down there? Are you taking it on the freeway?

Hiya Spoon,  Well ...... the drivers here ..... blow ass. I ride this thing all over the place, and of course have to watch the cage morons on cell phones ........ other than that .... I've been given lessons by older experienced riders .... it seems that the more crazy you drive .... the more room they give you here .... I'll have my wife snap a pic of me on it ..... I'm 6.6' .... and a big fan of the Road Warrior ..(like the general) .... so i tend to get the entire lane ..  btw, that's all black cable tubing ...... radio shack .... gotta love it. Respects, and thnx spoon ...... this forum is way cooler than the *ahem* .... other one. |

#Icon010# Fuck yeah the General was in full leather yesterday! It was at least 100 up here, but that's nothing to the real hardcore guys who know they'd rather sweat a little than leave a nice swath of skin on the pavement. Me, I haven't fallen yet (knocks on wood) so I'm in the middle, I got my Alpinestars gloves and breezy textile jacket with elbow pads... humm I mean Armor!  |

That black tubing looks good! I knew your ride looked different but I couldn't out my finger on it! Here's a pic of a regular Big Ruck for reference for the other folks.  |

That thing's lookin' nice... I'm so wanting one of those... I've been sending off for quotes on 'em...
I'm just pissed off that Japan has a bunch of accesories for it, they don't have here... like the cargo extension, thingy... I dunno what it was called, I was looking at it today, and it was like flash, so I couldn't translate it... oh, well.
Anyhow, that's lookin' tight, I'm no fan of yellow, unless it's in small amounts. That's awesome.

i dig it Kami, I've done some research ...... I have someone contacting M-Style about their mod kits they have for the ps250 : www.m-style.co.jp/ar/ps250-1.html There is also a bunch of "ps250" clubs in japan .... was thinking about setting up an accessories swap ... shipping is cheap from japan .... and they can get things like the front pegs,all the racks,chrome peices,etc. ... just some quick thoughts ..... Weird link about this thing : www.ibike.com.hk/01_bike_report/local/honda/04_ps250/local/03.htm Respects- |

That green is so sweet. I might have gone w/ that color if it was in the US instead of the black for my Ruck.

They are almost too low now. I'm only like 5'7" and am almost thinking of higher bars like what Pome has now. BMX bars might be just the right height.

Hello, Pome = *Bows* .. Your Ride Rules. I'll have to lookup the raising arizona reference. Robomod = Looked @ those bars, very nice. A little on the pricey side, but nothing compared to the 7k i paid for this thing. My local dealer has some motocross/ATV bars I've been looking @. We'll see, i have to phase parts onto this thing slowly(so the wife doesn't see my secret "ruckus accessories budget account". man,i'm whipped.  Ace = Your right about the bars. For me (I'm 6.6) i've had to raise the bars forward to get a str8 armed grip on this thing, having them stock almost made me have to lean back, and I'm finding leaning forward on turns to be way easier with the bars forward.  I'm new to this all, and the only thing this bike has to do well is enable me to combat la drivers, i think a pic of me on this will explain it better than my rant. Respects, |

Those bars were sweet but like dude said, too low. The BMX bars will be awesome. I wanted Renthal ProTaper's but I think they are too low also. I saw a stem extender kit the other day. That's an option if you want the low bars.

BMX Bars? ....... never thought about it actually ...
I used to race for redline a long, long time ago * insert old fart flames * ....... but just noticing that i cannot pull the bars forward anymore without catching on something ...... is making me look a lot more seriously ..
Thanks as always, for the ideas .... you guys rule.
Respects,
