Honda Ruckus Scooter Touring in the Utah Desert; Sun Tunnels, Devil's Playground, Ghost Towns

170 miles of fall desert touring in Utah on a 50cc Honda Ruckus scooter. Started in Kelton, UT and headed towards the Nevada border. Visited the mud flats, the Sun Tunnels, camped at Devil's Playground, and returned on the old transcontinental railroad grade.

The Honda Ruckus did pretty well off-road for a scooter. Fully loaded with 60 pounds of gear it could still come close to it's top speed of 35-40 mph on the flats, with acceleration suffering just a bit. Managed even steep climbs without much trouble. To our surprise the first one gallon tank of gas got us to mile 93 of the trip and probably could have come close to the 100 mark if we'd have pushed it.

I had one good wreck and neither of us had any mechanical failures. Next time Ruckus touring somewhere that remote I will at least bring a spare belt for the transmission and maybe a tire tube just in case.
