    Enjoying your vids! I've been thinking of getting one of these for a long time. These looks like simple fun. I've never seen a Ruckus video where the rider wasn't enjoying the ride. Keep it up!

    Thanks for this trip on your Honda Ruckus, Dondular. I just bought myself a Honda Ruckus 2023. After watching your trip video here, I am planning to go on one myself. Keep RUCKUS-ing! - Vulkee

    I have a Honda Helix 250.automatic transmission It’s a great bike. There’s a few People around my town have scooters. They’re usually older guys. I’ve had several mopeds when I was younger. Track. Tomas.hobbit. All was fun. I ride my Helix 20 miles to work usually 25-30 miles cruising back home it gets dark so soon so I just ride and enjoy the rest of the evening. I enjoy your videos just subscribed yesterday.

    Congrats on reaching 500. I like the little towns and it looked like a fun trip. I would have had to fill up my navi about the same last I checked it was getting about 75 mpg. Thanks for sharing the trip

    Awesome video! I'm up in Waco, and thinking about getting a Ruckus as a partner to my KLR. I could see it being a ton of fun, especially on the gravel I ride.

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  5 месяцев назад

      Thanks! The Ruckus handles gravel pretty good.

    I plan to get a scooter or minmoto next year and take up camping here in Quebec. I went through TX in 2000. Seen every state west ot TX. Lived in Mexico for 2.5 yrs. Honestly I didn't like TX, way too humid and people talk way too slow, fortunately you don't. I do love Coahuila, La Altaplanicie, and Mexico City. I also love Arizona, Nevada and CA. That chalk board is right-coffee solves a lot of problems.

    Nice trip! How does the bum feel after sitting for so long? Is the seat comfortable? I'm looking to get a ruckus and I'm really enjoying your videos.

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  Год назад +2

      Hello Bryce, thanks for the comment. The seat is very comfortable but I stop and stretch my legs every so often.

    @marxomaga5964 2 года назад +1

    Subscribing. I was torn in getting a Vino 125 or a Ruckus as I do doordash. I dont think I need the additional 10 mph and insurance/registration payments.
    Ride on. 👌

    • @J_Trask
      @J_Trask Год назад

      Do you not need insurance in your state? In Texas, we have to have insurance and registration on scooters than can go 30+mph or have an engine displacement greater than 49cc.

      Wilcer on RUclips delivers on a Ruckus.
      He has great content on setting up a Ruckus for food delivery.

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  Год назад

      I got it at my local Harley Davidson dealership and their prices usually match what you can find on Amazon.

  • @user-zt9ne3zc3s
    @user-zt9ne3zc3s Год назад

    so how fast do those scooters go?? can they reach 45 miles per hour???

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  Год назад +1

      They do 40 by design but it’s +- 2 mph from what I’ve heard. Mine would cruise at 42 at one time. Need to do a little maintenance to get it back up there though.

    Congrats on 500 and very cool to take the Ruckus on a road trip. Love the sound of that little motor humming away. How fast will it go on those open roads? Be cool to see the speedo in the view.

    • @dmax522
      @dmax522 2 года назад

      Around 35-40

  • @devildog65

    Did you say you put a fuel gauge on your Ruckus?

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  Год назад +1

      No. I just keep track of mileage in a notebook and there’s a reserve light that’s stock on the Ruckus. It’s a 5 liter gas tank (1.3 gallons) and the light comes on when there’s about a liter left.

  • @123456jalee

    @corywilliamsmith Год назад

    Wish I could afford a ruckus

  • @Winterstick549
    @Winterstick549 Год назад +1

    Awesome!
    My only suggestion is a mesh safety vest 🦺 and try to only use ethanol free gas if possible.
    And use lighter variator weights if you will be in hilly, mountainous areas.
    I'll be doing this soon on a Honda CT125.
    CHEERS

      If I were 6’6” this would be a Honda Africa Twin channel.

    My friend, I admire your thinking, but do worry about your hands. Ever considered gloves, even fingerless? You'll only know their true value if not wearing a pair the day hand meets road. God forbid :)

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  Год назад +2

      Duly noted. I do have fingerless gloves but can’t recall why I didn’t use them then.

  • @william7427

    It's really hard on your scooter to do a big trip like that

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular  Год назад +6

      My little trips are nothing. You should do a RUclips search of “Lost with Mike” or “The Road is Life.” These are a couple of the videos I watched when I was researching the Honda Ruckus. There are a few DoorDashers that probably put more miles a day, everyday, than I do on my “long” trips. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
