New (to me) rummage sale suitcases
I decided that I need to have some storage space available on the motorcycle.
The pizza rack is great for small, flat items, but what I really need to be able to carry is my laptop computer in briefcase, lunch, and usually a camera or other optical or electric things.
Things that I would rather not have in a small backpack or simply bungied down.
I stopped at a rummage sale today and saw a matching pair of old, hardtop suitcases. They are baby blue plastic with aluminum edging and keyed clasps. And they are just big enough for my computer bag.
I bought them ($4 each) with the idea of simply attaching them directly to the sides of the motorcycle for storage space.
Since they are just plastic, it would be easy to cut holes in the ends of the cases and add additional brake and turn signal lights.
I could maybe even set them up with a trailer plug to make it easy to do an electrical disconnect for taking the cases off.
Anybody know what type of paint will stick to old plastic baby-blue suitcases?
