My Knee Scooter...
« on: May 04, 2017, 07:25:17 PM »
Man spent a whole day at home, unable to go more than 40 feet at once on crutches.
Enough of being stuck.. At least I can go for coffee now..
  I am think billet grips, Ooogah horn, and a basket to start..

 I only had enough for one Planet Blue Boot and a new scooter..  Freedom... Fir me..

Those are pretty handy, my wife used one following one of her foot surgeries. Definitely needs a drink holder at the very least!  ;)

What? I thought that thing was a kids toy? Fcuk that, I'd rather use crutches............ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
