Belfast pt 2
so, the second picture-worthy event that took place in belfast, the ulster transportation museum. now, all we were told upon coming here was that it was cool and that we could see a delorean. luckily, it was better than just that...
that's right, they had motorcycles. and so, i was very happy. they actually had tons of old bikes, and i have many more pictures, but i could only post so many, so i chose some that really sum up the whole thing. this is a 1919 skootamota. i know, cool name, huh? now, i don't know for sure, but this has to be one of the first scooters, and damn is it cool. i've decided that i want one of these. i'll get one, you'll see.
this is a 1960 bianchi. the quintissential cafe racer. for those of you who don't know, the cafe racers were a bunch of people who hung out in cafes, had fast bikes and...well...raced. their idea of a good bike is fast, stripped down and cool. this bike embraces all of these things, and is italian to boot. much better than a ducati anyday. then we went on to the cars...
this is something that really should be around more, an amphicar. that's right, this car can go in and out of water. i think it speaks for itself. nice.
and finally, the delorean. yes, it was cool. yes, it had wing doors. no, it could not go back to 1955, or 2015, or 1885, or any other time. and no, i did not see doc brown. sadly. anyway, if you were to see the other side of the platform, you would see a big sign that says "no climbing" and "do not enter car" and other such signs. needless to say, many people took pictures inside the delorean. this is sean and rebecca, and i think they look pretty good.
so, that was belfast, the good, the bad and the ugly. hope you enjoyed it, it was a very different experience from dublin, and i recommend it just as highly.
cheers!

Hiya Scott,
The Scootamota looks pretty good except for one thing--it's not exactly a passenger bike, is it? oh well. :( i was telling my dad the other day i hope you get a new motorcycle soon...leave it to me to want something like that instead of a practical thing like a house or a car. :P Love you!
