wow, what a response, thanks fellow rocketeers.
xhdskip, i went to ponca city today to retrieve my big ruckus honda scooter. yeah, i hauled it back home in my pickup. i drove right through barnsdall, what a coincidence. tuesday afternoon when i was riding the rocket through barnsdall i stopped and visited with one of the local barney fifes/sherrifs deputy. we had a good visit. as to the other person who has the silver and blue rocket , mine is the dark red metallic and cream, gold pinstriping of course. now for the person inquiring as to how much i gave for it, $9200. i thought it was a great price for it. i sure wasn't going to buy a new one when this one i got is practically brand new. it has the triumph roadster screen, an extra pair of shocks. weird but one set has 1 through 5, and the other set has 1 through 7, for the adjustments of the spring preload i'm thinking. the ruckus was great to ride up to get it though. 70mpg, 70 mph on the flats, 75mph once in a while, and 80 a couple of long downhill runs on the 412 turnpike. at least it has the twin headlights like our triumphs. if pee wee herman rode a two wheeler, it'd be a honda big ruckus. they're goofy as hell. thanks for all the positive replies to this thread. i feel a positive attitude in here.
