Hey everyone! Been a while since last I've posted. Since that time, I've:
- Received a signifigant promotion at my current job
- Found myself a great girl
Barely have had a moment to myself in a few months.
But, I've managed to keep a handle on everything Ruckus related. She survived the winter no worse for wear, but seems to be running a bit slower these days. Perhaps I need to get some new weights to keep her crisp (scooterworks in a couple weeks maybe - but in light of my most recent transformation of my Ruckus, I feel that I've dumped a bit more $$ than I care to spend this year. Enough is enough.
But, that doesn't mean that I'm not happy with the progress of my work.

I'll try to keep a few things updated when I get it all together in a few weeks. I promise. That is, unless I'm out having fun riding. Then I'm sure you'll be able to forgive me.
