I would suggest coming to Poes pub at the end of Main st next to the gas station near Have a nice day cafe the 2nd Sunday of every month. Also there is actually a scooter fan based cafe right across the street from said gas station.

I don`t know about scooters and peds but whats the top speed on one of these things??? I enjoy a leisurely put around on my old ass gixxer but i`m wondering if these mopeds can keep up to casual cruising speeds for running around outside the city.

You must be referring to the 7-Hills guys (and girls)? Quite a few of them can be tools (the typical "I'm not trendy because I'm in to vintage things, yet they are just following a trend" mentality) and will look down on other scoot/ped guys, but for every ass in the group, there are 2 members/group friends that are EXTREMELY legit people. I choose not to associate on an everyday because the tools tend to be the ones that are always around, but I try and make all of their "big" rides to catch up with the legit folk. I was at the last "big" one as well; "Indiana Summer/End of the World" Rally -

As for rides out to Osburne Boat landing: I know most of the "big boy" bike guys normally think we are slow (which we are.. LOL), but most of us keep up with traffic. Even the 50cc's are doing 50mph now so it really isn't as "huge" of a ride for us as you'd imagine. Myself and a few others make the trip out there via Battlefeild park on the reg and hell... most times we keep going and hit Deep Bottom boat landing since it's little twistier and little more shady.

I think I may be the only DAILY gy6 swapped guy around these parts though so as for a Ruckus that can "keep up" with the bigger bikes, I may be the only one outside of the city. If you guys are riding somewhere that doesn't involve interstate, I'd be down.

FOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE DOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - I'm located in Highland Springs just east of the city and I daily my scoots. I'm always out and about (when I'm not working). I also know pretty much ALL of the "social" Ruckus/Metropolitan owners in the area. I could easily setup a small meet-n-greet with everybody. HMU via PM and I can give you some contact info.

I`m surprised i havn`t seen you putting around the springs at some point or the varina area seeing as i live between the osborne boat landing and the rt5/osborne 711.
