One of my very first rides in #portland #oregon when I barely bought the @honda #ruckus Check out some of the other Ruckus, #groms and #moped #scooters from the ruckus day ride event held at @beavertonmotorcycles #travel #photography #hike4ptsd #oregonexplored #oregonnw #pacificnorthwest #pct #pdx #portlandoregon #portlandphotographer #photo #hondaruckus #ruckuslife #streetbike #scooterlife (at Bob Lanphere's Beaverton Motorcycles)

Welp... a milestone is about to be reached, as the next time I ride my daily driver Honda Ruckus scooter, it’ll definitely pass the 10,000 mile mark. So, to celebrate the occasion 🎉 I entered the bike into the @tunerevo @portland car show coming in a couple months... I also got sponsorship from The Kings of Canna Dispensary in Portland, Oregon (Follow their page @thekocpdx ) so this will will be made into the first ever cannabis dispensary promo bike. Like the Red Bull smart cars or the monster logos race cars.. only this is a cannabis dispensaries promo vehicle 😂 lol 😝 Any cannabis brands trying to get in on this, limme know, I have sticker space available, I’d like to mark up the side like all the Honda Civis with their “NOS” or “powered by VTech” stickers, but instead, like “powered by @funkextracts “ Idk man, I’m just excited, now I have to find ways to add gold trim to the bike, as the logo defaults are gold as well. Countdown to completion begins now I guess. Picking up decals tonight. “I guess you can say things are getting a little serious.” #honda #ruckus #hondaruckus #hike4ptsd #rucklife #whatsalltheruckus #motorcycle #motorcycles #pnw #pdx #pct #biking #moped #scooters #50cc #gy6 #chromerim #hybrid #portland #vancouver #washington #oregon #pcc #portlandoregon #portlandme #oregonexplored #bikelife (at Sabin, Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu64qNIgW0C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=whal0b46k0sk

#TBT to when I used to have my @hondaruckus colored with plastidip into a hot rod theme and my friends actually answered text messages to go out riding. But it drops to mid 30 degrees, with constant rain and some snow, and all of a sudden, your text messages to go out riding go ignored. I need to look for some hardcore year round scooter riders. Ones that aren’t like “the roads are Icey and it’s dangerous, only a fool with a death wish would go out in this...” OMG, I didn’t know you were a conspiracy theorists with all these “facts” and “data.” #honda #ruckus #hondaruckus #hike4ptsd #rucklife #whatsalltheruckus #motorcycle #motorcycles #pnw #pdx #pct #biking #moped #scooters #50cc #gy6 #chromerim #hybrid #portland #vancouver #washington #oregon #pcc #portlandoregon #portlandme #oregonexplored #bikelife (at Vancouver, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuTRSPtAREN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14adzxa4jg4ao

I was asking my bud, who also owns a @hondaruckus why he doesn’t ride his scooter in the cold. He said he wanted to take care of his ride. I feel like... why own it if you’re not gonna ride it alllll the time? I asked him if he considered his scooter “a mini motorcycle” and he said yes, which explains it, because I think of my Ruckus as a motorized mountain bike. It gets locked up everywhere I go just like a bicycle, idgaf, I’ve already gotten into it with police here lol My scooter only weighs 200lbs, I can lift it into a bed of a truck by myself and I have a bad back so... it’s getting chained up. #honda #ruckus #hondaruckus #hike4ptsd #rucklife #whatsalltheruckus #motorcycle #motorcycles #pnw #pdx #pct #biking #moped #scooters #50cc #gy6 #chromerim #hybrid #portland #vancouver #washington #oregon #pcc #portlandoregon #portlandme #oregonexplored #bikelife (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuIxL36AWR0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7jvuzpovswwl

If you see me riding around and see me, tag me!!! #honda #ruckus #hondaruckus #hike4ptsd #rucklife #whatsalltheruckus #motorcycle #motorcycles #pnw #pdx #pct #biking #moped #scooters #50cc #gy6 #chromerim #hybrid #portland #vancouver #washington #oregon #pcc #portlandoregon #portlandme #oregonexplored #bikelife (at Welcome to Washington State) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4GFYUgj9l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=el5lp5ngp1ay

While scouting areas for possible product placement photo shoots, found this little sliver of highway that seems perfect for a motorcycle drive by video capture or a good background some product placement. www.PortlandProtainment.com #travel #photography #naturelovers #hike4ptsd #hike #theworldguru #naturephotography #oregonexplored #oregonnw #pacificnorthwest #pct #pdx #portlandoregon #portlandphotographer #photo #columbiarivergorge #media #multimedia #onlocation #productphotography (at Cape Horn Overlook) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpKKczghKK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=134gjxyfqsqft

Took my scooter for a ride today, not in the form I wanted to, lol it was in the back of a rental truck. Battery draining problem. But on the upside, was able to get these pics before leaving my scooter behind. I was supposed to buy one of these before someone told me not to and showed me the difference between a ice bear/ mad dog “ruckus clone” scooter. I thought a Honda Ruckus cost like $8-12k. At the time, a $3.5k clone seemed like the financially responsible thing to do. But I got talked out of it by someone who owned one, and for a used Ruckus for cheaper. I still like them though. Apparently, there’s this scooter community rivalry between “chuckus” and ruckus owners, I’m not gonna lie, it’s very entertaining to see them argue. “Your parts are from Taiwan, Maine’s quality Honda.” It’s like fast and furious, scooter edition. #honda #ruckus #hondaruckus #hike4ptsd #rucklife #whatsalltheruckus #motorcycle #motorcycles #pnw #pdx #pct #biking #moped #scooters #50cc #gy6 #chromerim #hybrid #portland #vancouver #washington #oregon #pcc #portlandoregon #portlandme #oregonexplored #bikelife (at Scooterswapshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsqzlS9AAPV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kfz1guv8wu6y
