Unearthed another M/C artifact...Ninja Boyz will love it

[rubbersidedown]

Its pretty neat,you just don't see these around any more in any shape or form...

Now I know yer thinkin,big fuggin deal Rubb,a plastic toy model. Ahhhh but no...

Its an' antique telephone.

Be SUPER HANDY for one of you Ninja Guyz...you could put your local Kawasaki service department on speed dial.
For when that shi7 breaks down...right. You could use speed dial #1 for service...speed dial #2 for your best buddy,the parts department dude....and speed dial 3 for a tow truck...

Then it would most beneficial to have your Mom on dial 4.

"Hello Mom,ya its me again."
"You sound down,are them Hayabuska fella's makin' fun of you again?"
"Ya...they kicked my bike over again,and one of them even spit on it! They called him Rub or something."
"That sounds terrible. Do you want to come over for cocoa?"
"Nah,my bike won't start."

"Hey,Ninja Boy...its for you,it's your Mom ...

Rubb.

That is a great question Kiwi,I wish I knew.Your best guess on the year/model it is supposed to be? I have only ever owned 2 Ninja's,both 1985's....

I'm guessing they based the phone on a model year that was recent/popular at the time.
I good at fixing Ninja's...lot's and lot's of practice but never really payed much attention to them as I was more in love with something else of that decade...

I spotted the phone on the shelf in my buddy's soon-to-be-history bike shop.
I said "cool old phone"
He said..."take it"

Of course being a cheap chinese copy of a ninja it doesn't look a whole lot like any model year. For my eye,it most closely resembles the 1985 GPZ1000RX. I dunno...

Whatch think?

I figured if a kid saw it the convo might go something like this:
"What's that Daddy?"
"Well,its a telephone"
"It's not a phone,how do you put it your pocket?"
"It's a phone that plugs in the wall"
"Awe yer funny Dad!"
"No really,it's what was called a land line"
"I don't believe you"
"How does it text and take pictures?"
"Well,it doesn't"
"What a piece of shi7"
*WHACK*

Yer kid's into antiques eh Sarge?

I'll ask my bro if he'll be heartbroken if I give it away. I'll mail it to you,you can wrap it up and give it to him for Christmas...he or she will have forgotten all about it by then,might be entertaining.
I'll ask the bro,let ya know, if yer interested. You will be charged Rubb's usual price on hi-quality merchandise of course...*FREE*

no need to do that bud, he just thought it was neat. On an antique note, I showed him a rotary phone the other day and he sat there for 30 min trying to figure out how to text from it....LMAO
