Nice and always like the classic Pizza delivery vid.
There's a big scooter scene here in Austin..especially with the Honda Rukus gangs. I'm seeing those a lot more now than any other scooters. Been wanting one for awhile myself.

New school kids... feh. Mix your own two-stroke is the only way to go!
I had a '64 Vespa GS - same model as Stings character in Quadrophenia - nothing like the classics.
Around the DC metro area there was, might still be, a vintage scooter scene - though it probably moved north to Balto as DC got lame. There was aso a race set... yep people would take Vespas and Lambrettas tweak them and race at Summit Point in the late 90s early 2000. One insane mofo put down 135 in the straight, on a scoot.

My wife and I both had a Ruckus, it was awesome. It felt a little more "hooligan" than the other scooters around at the time. On the city streets it was awesome, I didn't even have to dodge pot holes. I added different bearings and other minor mods and I could barely hit 40mph. It was great for around town, although I never felt safe on it without any real power. Going uphill was a nightmare, going downhill was awesome. All in all, it was pure fun. If anyone wants a scooter to play around, the Ruckus is cool. When I had mine they had the 50cc version and a bigger brother version (150cc I think). I don't know if they still have the larger one, the smaller one is what I see the most around here. It was an attention getter (for a scooter).

iirc, the "big ruckus" was 250cc.

I've been searching for one for a while. They are pricey. My plan is to increase the displacement and convert it to a zombie killer like the one on Waco's craigslist a while back.
