Most mopeds, nopeds and scooters ridden by Vicious Badger members are fixed up "barn finds" (or abandoned/unwanted 49cc vehicles, or bikes in need of repair, sometimes CONSTANT repair) and converted into what the Vicious Badgers exclusively call their poker runs - "StoopidCross." Their rides are eclectic, unique, whacked-out MadMax style. Wires hang, lights flicker, brakes squeak, bolts are discovered not to have nuts on them. If a Vicious Badger has his ride started at the beginning of a poker run, it is NOT guaranteed that his bike will finish the poker run. This is the challenge most outsiders don't understand about our group. It's all about getting and keeping these pieces of crap running! They don't always run each time we start them up. They're so unreliable, most group members have back-up rides, much like NASCAR teams have two cars. Group members prepare their rides all month in order for their bikes to make all 5 of the poker stops along the 25-mile route. Our group poker runs are done once a month, usually on Sundays, in undisclosed locations, from March to October with the exception of August and September when non-sanctioned events take precedence over poker runs.
