Thrifting is done

Fits like a glove. Or a wallhanging… (Ali Frye photo)
The most recent spike in West Coast gas prices attributed to a refinery fire will surely cause news organizations to bring out the stories about how SCOOTERS GET GREAT GAS MILEAGE. And just as surely, the second-most frequent post in the comment threads (after “SCOOTERS ARE DANGEROUS”) will be, “you can’t carry anything on a scooter.”
As longtime readers know, a week’s worth of groceries is no problem. And Ali shows that getting thrift-store finds home is cake, as well.
She said the artwork was only minimally affected by moving air, and the scooter, not at all. Ali’s Buddy has a rear rack and topcase, so she’s ready for anything. Well, except an armoire.

I’m having great difficulty transporting stuff on the new Honda PCX. The tiny stub of a rack is not exactly cargo net-friendly (nor would it support much of a dimensional quantity, no matter how light). No curry hook (or would that be a “pad thai hook”?). The floorboard has a “tunnel” in it, but if careful, I can get a bag of ice home draped over the tunnel.
Most everything else has to fit in the seat bucket, or be left behind.
I fell in love, and ended up with a nicer-looking Sachs Madass.
Ya shoulda bought a Met!
@Deb — Heh! 30-mile commute with 50MPH roads… however, I saw one brave woman on a Met on Thompson Lane @ I-24 this afternoon (where Thompson Lane turns into Briley Parkway, which is treated by locals like another interstate), heading the opposite direction from me. I wouldn’t do that without an Amish buggy in front and behind me.
