RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 38: Inventions

Wow! Those are all really great looking! Bravo Yamaha. The newest one I have from PRIDE is zero turn, all wheel drive, but I'm not terribly impressed with the quality. I had the repair man here last week about some charging issues.
It's good to know about alternatives! Thanks! My guy restored old bikes and 70s Yamahas were a favorite. He died 4 years ago and it still feels odd not to find motorcycle parts in my laundry room!

Sort:  

I'm sorry that your supply of parts in the laundry went away. I don't think I owned a 70's vintage Yammie. 60s and 80s. I never owned a bad Yamaha. I'm glad to see them lead the way in electrics and mobility products.

Did your guy ever overhaul a carburetor in the kitchen sink? I got yelled at for that a couple of times but it was the perfect cold weather option :)

Like the motorcycle in the corner of the kitchen because it was too cold in the garage? Oh yeah.

Ahahahahahaha. Yeah, that's the one.

The kitchen table got moved to the garage.... 😜

It's all about priorities, isn't it?

I did an overhaul on a dirt bike motor in my basement shop but there was no oil or grease involved. I cleaned it outside before the weather got awful. You can believe my wife checked pretty carefully...

I just laughed and served our meals in the dining room! Looking back now it was another great Jim memory. He was like a little boy seeing the reactions of people that came over and it inspired plenty of jokes!
