I managed to have half a day riding bikes yesterday.
The blue Yamaha I restored last year, 1992 it is, it came as a none runner and in green with all the plastics broken plus a tatty seat. It is a very rare bike being the SP or sport production version, only 500 were made and I own 2 of them 500, value unknown, as much as a collector would pay I suppose.
I restored this KTM EGS 300 2 years ago if memory serves me correct, I call it the beast, or widow maker. It is also a 1992 bike.
I can not manage longer than 10 minutes on the KTM now.
I liken riding that to go-kart racing, you need a lot of strength in forearms just to hold on.
My daughter loved being on the back of that and can hold on at full throttle, unsure if I would be so willing as a passenger, but she just says faster, faster dad.
Sunday is fun-day is here again.
All entries from last week will get an equal share of all rewards earned liquid later today.
So what is this weeks competition? It is the simplest yet to date, simply reply and tell me what you are doing today for fun.
No other rules, no upvote, reblurt if you want, up to you.
Now back to that KTM, I will be riding it again today, it has a FMF fatty - gold series gnarly expansion chamber down-pipe (expansion chamber) for race use only, a carburetor that is race use only and marked "not for road use" and a silencer that is also not for race use due to noise.
Yes it needs a wash but washing it is not as much fun as racing it around our fields, end of story.
So what else we doing today? Just like yesterday it is Father daughters day so boomerang will be coming out to play, tennis too, squash, maybe even a touch of golf, who knows not I, the best laid plans always fall aside, so just going to go along with the flow.
I flew one of my drones yesterday and noted 2 yes 2 lazy engines on it, so that needs a rebuild, but not today, that is for sure.
I ordered another drone last week anyway, much to the delight of my wife (NOT).
As the Kawasaki kmx 200 refused to start yesterday it is not worthy of comment, full stop, wait, I just did.
The Yamaha only has 4000 KM's on the speedo in 30 years that is all it has done. I have an AF1 Aprilia sport production from 1992 with less at 3000 km's, I only ride that once per year. Only 1800 were made of them, and less than 300 still live.
Enough about me already, what you doing fun today, every entry shares the liquid payout from this post, the more votes, the more YOU earn.
Today we got flooded.
OK, just the kitchen, but that's enough to make getting out of bed a misery.
Back to the botched and the bugled... drain pipe can't handle the washing machine. My fault, I bought a new hose that actually fitted and worked, so the machine wouldn't flood the back yard - in revenge it flooded the kitchen.
Unable to locate the blockage, the handyman will just lay a new pipe - tomorrow.
On the plus side, the kitchen is now spotless and empty of languid empty boxes piled high coz I couldn't be arsed to move them. Then we planted some seeds and did some weeding.
You even bungled the "bungled" with a bugle! tehe
Reveille!!
AH ! The kitchen ...i have read the funny story ;) but not so fun
Lol you been on the vino? Saves cleaning the kitchen I suppose.
vino? at these prices? lol
Go to Singapore, a small bottle of Thai whiskey in £30 USA. when it is how much in Thailand? And a bottle of Jack Daniels was £70 and a beer £7 and that was 8 years ago. Dubai is as bad.
You need more bikes, your selection is restrictive....
I know, I only have 40, I need more, all donations welcome. 😂
Glad you had some fun👍. Today for some fun I spent a little of my crypto as a trial for the first time since getting into it years ago. Was good to finally get something back for all the time spent on Steem and Hive over the years.😃
Cheers brother, I am going to do a post about powering down and using blurt/hive to buy some stuff, there are plenty of posts encouraging people to power up, but there is no point if we are never going to spend it or use it.
Yeah gotta get something back out of it and that helps keep one invested when seeing a payback.
Agreed.
I actually did a smartcast on the issue of Powering Down:
Nice 1.
I'm having fun admiring this modern, technologically advanced scarecrow and this horticultural wonder garden! 🤣🤪🙈
Having a very chilled out day today, Bro! 😎 Always glad to hear that life is giving you nice days to appreciate! 😉
I was thinking the same ..cool garden though
😂😂🤣
😂
Hey man, that is scarecrow abuse, it is like Amber Heard, easily offended, and it wears a safety helmet you may note!!!!
Tell Scarey Helmet Dude I was just being humorous for Funday! So please don't...
🤣🤣🤣
Biatch slap, not to be compared to waste high tackle by man with a knife and gun 😂
Pretty cool looking bikes.
Greedy is me, got 40 or more of them, cheers brother.
I joined @ultravioletmag’s quiz last night. That was fun and very nice to meet people on video chat.
It would be more fun if I could try one of your cool bike. :)
I like orange one.
I heard about last night, sounds like good fun, the orange bike is a serious bit of kit and for highly experienced riders only as it is lethal in the wrong hands. 👍
I think a honda scoopy suites me the best haha.
Serious question, is it pink? A young Thai girl once said I could use her moped to go to the shops, she never told me it was bright pink, the looks I got from ladyboy bars, never again 😂
That’s hilarious. I would love to see that haha
A day I shall never forget in Pattaya, for sure 😂
I hope you’ll join us this Sunday 😅🙏 I’ll make a question about you specially 😂
I will if I can talk openly.
It’s blurt it’s free speech on your parts and turns
😀 I am shit at being told what to do,
But I will join in, just this one time.
I was also having fun doing the blurt quiz same as Jungle Girl. It was a shitty day here so procrastinated on the mega weed situation in me herb garden which is as we speak only 1/3 done. I didn't win the blurt quiz despite cheating but I found out this morning I DID win the blurtdiary challenge AND ur last weeks funday challenge so happy days.
Oh and I used to have a pink vespa. I got waves from all the young girls riding thru London every day on it. Don't knock the pink scooters. They rock.
They may rock as a female, they do no rock as a male in Thailand lol, nuff said, there are many men there that do not want to do national conscription and grow tits,seen it, been there, lived there for a decade, but hey, pink scooters for a dude? Come on 😂
yeh best stay away. I wore it well but you'd look daft hahaha
Indeed and I did look daft, the looks I got, oh boy them looks, never again.
