Meet little Kiki
Well I've done it. Gone retro that is.
My white princess got sold yesterday and to reduce my grieving I desided to go bike shopping again...
After a very early awakening (7am) mr. TOTO was on his way to see a new prospective member of the fambily - Kiki.
Went saw her, and there she was begging to be rescued from that dark garage that she had been sitting for the past few months and noone wanting to ride her.
She wouldnt want to turn over on the electric start. Kick started was then tried but even tho the motor was just about to turn over, the new owner (mr. TOTO) got tired way too fast. Would have kept kicking till it started, but the fact that the two tyres were completely deflated ment that even with the engine running there wouldnt be any high speeds achieved while endureing mr. TOTO's safety. So the first ride was going to be a quiet one
The place where Kiki was living till today is two streets away so me being a proactive chap proceeded to pushing Kiki.
it is funny how 1 km goes so fats uphil when the engine is running on a bike...and consequently how slow it passes when you are pushing a 140kg or so up that same 1 km. I think I can really relate to Einsteins theory of relativety now. Forget kissing the hot woman and the hot stove thing - Einstein should have pushed a bike ...
Lucky my street itself is mostly downhill so with the back tyre having Some air in it I jumped on Kiki and we had a good ol ride down my street at the lightening speed of 3km/h. Actually I thing we were speeding at one stage coz we may have hit 5km/h. Got passed by an old lady with a cane tho so we couldn't have been very illegal.
So there she is - my little Kiki. She needs some work but I recon it will look nice in kawaka green. those of you who know me know i'm like a crackhead seeing a boat of crack when I'm around anything green. So done up she will be, probly get some air in the tyres first, get the engine going and see how we go about getting a rego and a new wof
The guy I got Kiki off said she was 'too loud" for some testing station. I figure she cant be louder than my mighty Hooligan tho - coz thats about the loudest thing on earth
So Kiki says "Hi' guys. Hope we can see her on some of the rides soon. maybe I'll join those blast from the past guys - now that I have a legitimate contender
