Overnight Honda Ruckus camping trip. There was a small window of good weather and thought I should take advantage of it and attempt my first Honda Ruckus motocamping trip to test the waters. It was a short trip but valuable lessons learned for future trips.
Only wish I could have stayed longer to explore that park because there is a lot to see there. Next motocamp trip needs to be a multi-day adventure, I think. The Chase Harper bags worked well for me and I'll definitely use them again.

The best add for my Ruckus is the RucRac, which goes on and comes off easily, but gives loads of room on the back! Great video! Hand manufactured in the USA!

Thanks for the comment. Will definitely have to look into the RucRac.

Don you should buy a Kymco 125 agility. I have one & they are really fast (65 mph). It is comfortable & dependable. It would be good for traveling and camping !!! Keep making videos they are great !!

@Dondular Жыл бұрын

Congrats on the new Ruckus! I only regret not having a windscreen in the winter but I just bundle up and bear it. Most of the year I don’t need one so I don’t have any recommendations to offer.

I am working out a ride on my ruckus from Lancaster CA to ash fork az it should be a week trip. I do have a question about the side bags were did you get them from? Great video and have a great day.

@Dondular 2 жыл бұрын

Those are Chase Harper bags. There’s a video review on my channel of them. I do love them, however, I think I prefer the WildHeart bag as there’s less wind drag and more room. There’s a review on that on the channel as well with a similar load packed for demonstration purposes. Hope you have a great adventure.

It was easy to pack. Took me about an hour to figure out how to set it up, though. I haven’t used it since but it was comfortable.

With the inside of that tent being mostly mesh, I would not like the breezes constantly blowing through. Otherwise, looks like you had a great time.

Just out of curiosity, does your ruckus’ light dim at lower RPMs? Like a at stop? Then, once you get going again the light back up? Or do they stay the same brightness?

@Dondular 2 жыл бұрын

I think I’ve only noticed my light being dimmer at first start-up.

@AlexDavis1 2 жыл бұрын

The headlights are dimmer at lower rpms

@J_Trask 2 жыл бұрын

I think this is because when your RPM’s are up, your lights are brighter because the RPM’s raise the voltage on the battery. When you let off the gas, you aren’t putting voltage on the battery.

My 50cc zuma holds a 15 pack of beer with room for other assorted items under the seat. A lot of the time I just throw in a six pack and a bag of ice and close the seat,melting ice drains out the pee hole.
