HANDLEBARS FOR THE SCOOTER

SEEMS LIKE THIS PROJECT WAS STARTED YEARS AGO, BUT IT’S ONLY BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS.  THE NEW HANDLEBAR PROJECT FOR THE SCOOTER IS FINALLY FINISHED. HERE ARE THE OLD ONES.

WE ARE HANGING ON TO THESES IN CASE THE NEW BARS FAIL.

TO REVIEW, THE NEW SCOOTER IS MOSTLY PLASTIC AND THE ONLY WAY TO TIE IT DOWN TO HAUL IT IS BY THE HANDLEBARS.  THE ORIGINAL HANDLEBARS FROM HONDA TOTALLY COLLAPSED ONCE AND STARTED TO BEND A SECOND TIME, SO I DECIDED TO HAVE NEW BARS CUSTOM MADE OUT OF SOLID STEEL.

I DIDN’T WANT TO WAIT ANY LONGER OR GO TO THE ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE OF HAVING THEM CHROMED, SO THEY ARE SOLID BLACK AND LOOK JUST FINE ON THE SCOOTER.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO TIE THE SCOOTER ON THE BACK OF THE PICK-UP AND GIVE IT ALL A TEST RUN.  I THINK I’LL WAIT UNTIL COLE IS AVAILABLE TO SUPERVISE THE TESTING.

GETTING THE SCOOTER BACK HAS SURE PERKED ME UP AS I GET BACK OFF MY ASS AND TURN OFF THE LAPTOP.
