Hi, I'm Lil Pinny and I live in the Austin Texas area. I am a Total Ruckus refugee and this board has some activity, so rock on. I'm also the president of the Little Kings Scooter Club. I ride a 170cc Honda Ruckus. It's gone through a bunch of configs, from a 50cc -> 150cc -> 170cc. I've tried and went through a bunch of GET mods and now the GY6 stuff. I got the bike kinda to where I want it for now... but it never ends. My last project, after I laid it down going maybe 10-15mph, was to take it all apart and powder coat the frame and all the body parts and put it back together. At that point I went from a 7'' rear to an 8''. My next project is a rear brake disc conversion. At that point I'd like to say it'll be done-done. Then I'll need a new project... maybe a Met or a Met-Ruck. Thanks for having me! My ride, Blacktop Thunder: (lots of shadows in these pics, need to re-do them, btw)

Hi. Yeah, not totally sure on the details but it either crashed or someone didn’t pay the bill. I heard rumors of a fundraising of sorts to bring it back online. A lot of TR action moved to Facebook over the years but some of us refuse to use FB. Call us old school holdouts.
TR has been around forever and I don’t know the last time the software was ever updated, but I’m sure it’s been years and years. Some say they were surprised it still booted up.
The scooter community is strong and everyone will find a home. Thanks for having us.
The real shame is that there is almost 18 years worth of wisdom in those TR archives and everybody, even the FB users still search through it. I hope it makes it back online someday.

Actually 12-13 years of wisdom. Can’t do math today for some reason.

Super clean Ruck! Even if TR comes back, hopefully some of you will still visit us at least on occasion. Nice to have a diverse group around.
