Yeah, I made the trip out to BS a couple of times when the aftermarket scene was really starting to get going. I couldn't hack down the seat height, but the 150cc motor swap sounds quite tasty.

My nephew's Ruk is/was in sad shape from sitting during IA winter months, I wanted to get that one and hack away...

This ruckus talk makes me happy.

Here's an awesome article that I feel really also relates to our cars not just the R35 it's about:

If only i knew how to drive a motorcycle, i'd get a ruckus...Is it manual?

Quick question - "to do tom's tail lights or not to do tom's tail lights? that is the question."

I've literally driven 10X further than you in my FR-S.

AND done about 50 autoX events.
