RIDING THE RUCKUS

Lance bought a new motor scooter - an '09 Honda Ruckus. He's put all kinds of new fancy cool extras on it and insisted I learn to ride. I ride a bike all the time - but I am afraid of driving any motorized vehicle I am unfamiliar with. Heck - i didn't even drive a car until i was 25! But I'm working really hard on using new tools that I am afraid of. So, I am practicing a little every day. It's really easy to drive, but it takes continuous concentration - at least it feels that way to me...lots more than just a car. Fortunately it is not heavy like a regular motorcycle is. Chalupa, our dog, likes to run with me when I'm on the scooter - so it is an easy way to exercise her! Here are some pics of me riding....
