This was the start of it. they didnt want to take it all the way apart because we where trying to go out riding as well. So some wires where disconnected, some bolts loosened and just a bunch of shimming shaking to get the shiny new part in. Its hard to tell but the motor is now not connected to the ruck Now you can see the new part in. I wish I would of had video of it going in but I was M.I.A with the smoking ladies.

So I got in the stuff I was waiting on. I LOVE EM. The roads at night are brighter and some drivers think my brights are on now WHEN THERE NOT..lol.. You can barely see a button sitting on the floor board above the footpeg with the wires (green/yellow) that switch is to turn off my main lights so I can run the halo's only. so nice. Main lights off. main lights on. and the new lights for the plate.

Looks great. Hey that switch reminds me of my younger days. Back when I was a kid, all cars had foot control dimmer switches for the headlights.

I was telling my friends when I use it thats what it fells like. My GF had no idea about the brights ever being on the floorboard of trucks or cars. I didnt think she was that young shes only 27 and im 31. I guess all the cars my mom and dad liked had that option. Plus I can remember sitting in the blazer thinking I was driving and just hitting/pushing/pulling any and all knobs..lol.. Ramblingggggggg thanks I like it..lol..

I almost forgot my best ride on one. This ruck had speed, take off power, everything you want in a little scooter. What can I say I need this motor in my scooter.

There was a Scooter club holding there spring rally and we wanted to show up in force with the rucks. The Rucks crashed a vespa lambredda rally. ( dont hate me for not spelling that right) But then at the end they had out awards and do a raffle, well one of the rucks took President Choice for best scooter AT A VESPA RALLY...lol.... We where the loudest bunch of people. GY6 rucks burning tires loud ass pipes. Oh we made them know we where there to play..lol.. It was so damn fun tho, and out of all this the owner from Scoot Mag was there sponsoring the breakfast on the last day and had come up to our table asking if he could profile our group. He didnt know that the ruck was so strong around the Pacific North West. Twist and Play is the scooter club that held the rally.

lol right on. It was started for some friends then they all got scooters so then the RUCKSTARS facebook page was born..lol.. If you look me up my real name is Seth Weisgerber, but I think every scooter pic I have I have tried to post it on ScooterRebels.com I like to share my fun with others. Newest and WAY cheap mod. Paint your stock rims.. It LOOKS GOOD in person. Im thinking of calling it the Red Ruck Fire Truck. I need to find a little fake fire extinguisher so I can turn that into my coolant bottle. get that white tank off. but damn are those hard to find.

the portland crew is still out here. about 4 of us have our rucks down at the moment. mine is getting a motor tare down. crank shaft is fudgeed for some reason. but we have other projects in the works. a buddy just picked up a MET that he just put the ruck motor in dropped the bars. but that is in the works. So much going on out in the west right now.
