  • 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!

    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
      @Dondular  2 роки тому +1

      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.

    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
      @Dondular  2 роки тому

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

    • @AlexDavis1
      @AlexDavis1 2 роки тому

      The headlights are dimmer at lower rpms

    • @J_Trask
      @J_Trask Рік тому

      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.
