Gotcha. If you have that type of basket on your old bike, love to see a pic to get ideas of different styles. Not sure how happy I am with the paperboys on the back of mine.

The saddle baskets in the back are called paperboy or newspaper style baskets I believe. The front basket I have I got at #^&#^&#^&#^&'s, but it is not sturdy enough based on what you are looking for. Slip, You lookig for something like in the second pic?

Slip I feel bad now that I said some unkind words about your scooter. I do have the best of witnesses though, Slinger, Bigfish....
I think roping them along side the canal in the trees, (maybe they'll last longer there), is a great idea.
I was going to post here yesterday, but waited until now. You seem to be over the grief allready about deep-sixing your current ride in favor of a newer version though. Maybe we could have a sunrise service at the cribben for the old one out of respect for the bike.

don't feel bad Frank
it was the truth
I'm not too proud to ride crappy bikes
I used to drive a rusty old van with a extended roof camper top too  before I got the white van everyone followed around, hard to hide with that... |
