Bring on the Ruckus

Friday, September 5th, 2008

The Ruckus is a great little scooter. Finally broke 1000 miles on it. I also got the Daytona Rear Shock in and the ride is 100% better. I’m no longer bottoming out the ride (I’m 225lbs now, and I think the rear shock is rated for like 180lbs) and when I go over bumps I don’t feel like my spine is being driven out through my skull. I recently added the Daytona Damos Exhaust and a Polini Variator. It feels faster, stronger up hills. Next up, new handlebars and disc breaks!

Kung Fu

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Since April I’ve been going to Shaolin-Do Kung Fu classes. After the first week I knew I’d stick with it, after a month I loved it. Now I work my schedule around it! Right now I’m yellow belt, but I should be testing into blue soon. I’ve lost 20 lbs this year so far and I give most of the credit to the class. It has also given me a lot more confidence and flexibility. I’m pretty proud of the progress I’ve made and am excited about learning more every time I go.
