I guess I'll start from the beginning...
TT decided that she wanted to get a new scooter after her 05 Avanti Beta 50 shit all over its self and died. So she was trying to find a Yamaha Vino because we had a spare engine and I already knew enough about to to fix most problems. Well the gods didn't allow her to get a Vino so we decided to head over to the Honda shop and look at the Metropolitans. That's when I saw it. A 2008 Honda Ruckus. I immediately fell in love, so I decided to research them. I found tons of information and had a whole new world of modding introduced to me. A couple days later I went to Honda to see if I could buy a Ruckus. Unfortunately my credit wasn't established long enough to get a loan unless I had a co-signer. I decided to come back when I had more cash.
Two weeks and 1000 dollars later I was signing the loan papers for my new Ruckus. As I started to drive home I wondered if I had made a mistake. I was only doing 30 down a flat road, which was laughable compared to my Vino. I decided to give it at least until break-in before I regretted my mistake. A few days later the Ruck was purring and scooting along at 43mph and I had a smile from ear to ear.
Shortly after getting the Ruckus we took our first trip to Skyline Drive and the Ruck hauled my 200+lbs carcass up a steep hill at a whopping 20mph. I thought again, maybe I had made a mistake. This thought quickly vanished once I got off the scoot and took a good look at it. The I whispered into its ear(turn signal) "You'll be fast one day..."

I really want to see how you created the storage area under your seat. As for the foot pegs, I am having trouble picturing it, so pics of that would be helpful too!
