New Scooter Arrived Today

[Rockhound]

About a month ago, while riding my scooter to the local 7-11 store, I was going down a slight down grade, when the brakes locked up and tore up the drive gears. After I reported the incident to my Prothetics Dept who handles such things, they told me they had to decide if they would fix my old scooter or trade it out for a new one. After not hearing from them in a week, I called to find out what they had decided. They decided to trade out my old and damaged one for another.

I was told it would take about four to six weeks for my new scooter to arrive, yet it arrived today only about three weeks since they had given me the time table for its arrival. I had half expected it to be another used unit but newer than my old one, but it was a brand new Legend XL with a whole lot of bells and whistles on it and boy it it a pretty candy apple red.

Now I feel like getting dressed up when ever I ride it. I look out of place like a new suite and wearing tennis shoes. LoL

It's had a high and low gear, plus a power adjustment, turn signals and emergency flashers, head lamp of course, a horn although not as loud as I would want, is at least half again louder than my old unit, and the suspention is a whole lot better too. I only wished the charging unit was a part of the scooter instead of a seperate unit. I'll have to fine a way to properly carry and store the charging unit, so if need be, I won't be stuck someplace should my charge run low.

Just thought I might share this tid bit of info. The VAHA isn't all bad yet.

Great news. Thanks for sharing, we need all the good stories we can hear. I am joyful with you on the quick delivery and to know someone is on the ball in the VA system.

Great to hear Jim. Red is the color you need. Bright and shinny. Why aren't you getting any disability? Noticed you have 0% listed, are you getting a pension instead? I hope so. Be careful and watch out sometime people can't see red cars so you might be extra careful. Enjoy buddy.
