I was trying to find a box with a lock that could be mounted on the back of my bike for carrying things a bit more securely, so I went to a friend who has a motorbike repair shop. We went over to Phố Huế where all manner of bike accessories can be found and looked. Unfortunately, we could only find two sizes: tiny and huge. Tiny was pointless, since I at least wanted to be able to put my helmet in and lock it up when necessary ( I already had one stolen, if something's not locked down say goodbye to it before you leave ).
So we got the big one and took it back to his shop. They didn't provide a key. When we called and asked about it they said they never do and we have to take the lock to a locksmith and have keys made. Huh? Anyway, we get the keys done and put everything together. Since it's made for a bigger bike, it won't mount with the clips that make it possible to easily lock it on the bike or take it off when you don't need it. We ended up having to drill a couple holes in the metal bracket and securing it with bolts.
On the plus side, I can now carry stuff. Lots of stuff. On the negative side I'm now carrying a giant box on the back of my little bike all the time, which is pretty hilarious looking. Oh well, when I'm able to resolve the license situation and get a bigger bike, I can use the box like it was designed, so it's not a loss. And I'm certainly used to being laughed at, just look at the comments on this blog. Sigh. ;-)
No Jeff we are not laughing at you we are laughing; well actually I guess we are laughing at you sorry. But who can help themselves you are so funny and keeping up with you has been a good time. BY the way I seen a picture of what I think is your bathroom/kitchen I must say the pink really does alot for me and it is also nice that you are still following your Mom's rules and put the toilet seat down.
