Looks good on your scoot, glad you like it. Not for me though.

I wouldn't have it attached to your brake lever, especially with how long it is. If it snags on anything, you're going to have a bad day!

Sounds like me and my old man. Only difference is I'd of preferred the strap to his back hand! Still have a bit of crooked nose to this day because of one of those powerful punts! I've never laid a hand on any of my kids! I'm normally so laid back that they know when I Just look at them....Problem solved!

Whips can also be used by hookers for tying you to a hotel bed as well. Just an observation.

I fall into the category of "it's not my thing" but aside my personal bias, I think your new whip looks well made and the knots are very well done. Para cord art is awesome stuff.

Glad ya found something ya like.

P.s. Don't read most of what people say about them, opinions are like azzho!z everybody has one and wants you to know it.

Good point! That never crossed my mind. At the least, it may be constsntly applying a slight pressure to the brake at speed and heat up the pads and rotor to the point that they will be useless when needed.
