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.
