Looking at your DIY repair, it totally bring back the memory of myself working on the KE20 when I was very much younger days.

I can't say it's needed for the foot rest bar, and often there isn't really suitable at all due to the position overlapping the already installed passenger foot rest bar 😂 we used to take out the original foot rest bar at the back so we can have more leg room. The leg dangling is not exactly that uncomfortable, considering the boys likes to hang the end of the flipflop touching the ground while cruising makes a beautiful symphony 🤣 yes, we do need to apply considerably more force to straighten the legs, clamping the floppers at certain angle to make the percussion works. Sometimes the pilot join us too 🤣

I got absolutely nothing to comment on Remy, I'm glad he only visited your family, and you guys relocated him instead of sending him to heaven/hell. He did reminds of me of this 1 vegan recipe I've never tried in my life
