Accessories

Every female knows the outfit isn’t done until you add the accessories. So here’s my most recent ones.

The basket is the extra large bicycle basket from http://www.peterborobasket.com.

I hung it from jumbo swirly hooks from http://www.think-king.com so it wouldn’t interfere with my ability to apply the scoot’s hand brakes. I was concerned about the placement of the swirly hooks but they do not make the grip uncomfortable at all.

 

Then I tied the bottom of the basket to the upright on the scoot to keep the basket from bouncing around.

Because I bought the extra large basket I have to tilt my knees out to the side to turn sharp corners.

Yes, the basket blocks the cane/crutch holders but I didn’t like putting my cane in there anyway as that interfered a lot with my ability to turn. I just rest my cane on the red catchall leaning back against me and it rides there just fine.

I also added the soft buggy cup from Think King. It’s so big I can put my largest beverage bottle in it.

And I added the CB3 model Crampbuster throttle from www.crampbuster.com to make it more comfortable to drive my scoot.

Now a simple press of thumb takes me, in style, anywhere I want to go.

And it all still fits unfolded in our Honda CR-V as long as I remember to swivel the seat in before I close the hatch. I’ve since discovered that if I turn the handles around so the basket faces the middle of the scoot, I have even more storage space behind it.

Now the leaves are changing colors here which makes for an even prettier view from our campsite but that also means the nights are getting cold so I’m ready to hit the road this weekend after Dave finishes at the dentist Friday.

We plan to drive through Arkansas on our way to Texas to complete the list of having visited all 48 contiguous states in our just over three years of full time RVing.

TTYL,

Linda
