I discovered the "Lost With Mike" blog years ago while researching whether anyone else thinks riding small scooters for long distances is fun...well low and behold there was!
Mike's adventures (more than just scooter trips) are legendary. He decided young to actually live his life while he can, instead of working it all away in hopes of some payoff at the end. He also lives a simple, healthy, low-impact lifestyle, I think proving money is never really the reason holding us back.
Barry was inspired by Mike's tiny house projects, I was inspired by his epic adventures. I hope you all find this one inspiring too.
As always, thanks for watching. --Back Roads Brenton

@aland1618 3 года назад

At what mile did you have to replace the rings or did you get 80k miles without having to do any repairs except change the belt, tires and bulbs? I had to replace the rings at 14k. I lost a lot of compression which caused the oil to leak past the seals. I run it wide open nearly all the time. Local speed limits force me to ride at max speeds or get run off the road.

@aland1618 3 года назад

The cause might be due to not changing the oil often enough. I change it every two thousand miles but the time between changes is something like 6 months. Maybe time does effect oil and the three month suggestion is warranted.

@backwatersandbackroads 3 года назад

I'm pretty sure Mike has never cracked the motor. He has a blog (linked in description) if you contact him with your questions he will get back to you.

I wonder if a truck driver would let you put your ruckus on the cat walk between the sleeper and trailer something to think about

Super video. Well done sir. I have heard of Mike, but today I learned a lot more about him

@backwatersandbackroads 3 года назад

Hi Howard, good! I think Mike could write some great stories for your magazine. Have you seen his blog, he's a good writer and photographer :) I'll be in touch asap eh

Very cool travels, thanks to mike for sharing and Brenton relaying the stories.

Thank you buddy :)

Much respect fellow Ruckster.

@grilly4220 3 года назад

How does he do it without using major turnpikes? Lots of two lane roads I guess. Top speed of a Rukus is what 30 mph. 👍🇨🇦

@backwatersandbackroads 3 года назад

Mike has done a few minor mods to get thr speed up to 35-40...but yeap, just secondary backroads. Loads of them in the country;) thanks for watching man

Thank you! Keep on riding! My Super cub is 25 years old at least , but nowhere near your mileage

@backwatersandbackroads 3 года назад

Thank you. Just listened to your...flute? playing. Very soothing. :)

I dont know why he didnt do the lowered seat bracket. It looks like it would be a more comfortable ride height

If I bought a Ruckus, living in Wisconsin I would only be able to ride it about 5 months out of the year, because winter up here is sooo long. We just received 3 inches of snow last night!! :( I wanna move back South, maybe Kansas, at least then I could ride it about 9 months out of the year??

@joebuck49 3 года назад

Very interesting! Great job with the video, very well put togather.

Gosh I could really use a big wind-shield like that, would anyone here happen to know the make/model of such a large wind-shield that is suitable for a 49cc ruckus? And is this shield still so small that Mike (our fantastic protagonist in the youtube) is able to easily look over? I love how the entire shield is defaced with stickers ^___^ I have seen some scooter videos where they mod the scooter to have these ridonkulously tiny wind shield, they are lovely but I was looking for something more practical, cus I live somewhere pretty chilly most of the year.

@vlogfuji 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for this very interesting interview. I too would like to slow down and enjoy nature. Also, it looks like the link to Lost with Mike mentioned here needs to be corrected. Please check it out.
