Hello...this seems like a great place...

#1 Unread post by Locopez »

Well hello from Northern California...I look forward to getting to know many of you...via this board.

I currently have two...two wheeled cycles in my gargage...an 03 FLHT HD w/37k miles on it. We have been in 16 of the states. I also have an 05 Honda Big Ruckus w/5k miles on it. It is mainly my commute vehicle.

I started riding motorcycles...back in Oct 2001 for the first time. The bug has really got me...the current HD I have is my 3rd one...I have also had a Buell, and a 50cc street legal scooter. In this short time I have rode over 50k miles...on all of these machines.

Rubber side down....ride safe...and with a smile and bugs in your teeth!

That would be correct. Thats because of the bandwidth we use already is extremely large already and thanks to services like Photobucket it helps us keep the bills a little lower as we don't sell anything to make a profit.

Well, we do "sell" site supporter memberships walloffame.htm but that's more the members giving back to the community to help out than making money from it. :D

That's certainly a interesting combination of bikes! My wife and I have a Reflex scooter, which I think is mechanically similar to the Big Ruckus. It's a leftover from when we were learning to ride, but also a handy around-town errand bike.

jstark...thanks for the welcome... Yes...the big ruckus is an off shoot of the reflex...the only difference..is the Big Ruckus has a drum brake in the rear...where the reflex has a disc...and of course the body.
