Kawasaki - Good Times Museum

We had "good times" in at the Kawasaki museum and were surprised to learn just how many different types of machinery Kawasaki has actually produced over the years...including fans, turbines, jet skiis, trains, an intelligent robot and even a plane!

We were blown away with a great display of very shiny motorbikes, from the very old to the very new. There were bikes of all shapes and sizes and we even got to pose on some of them for photos. I thought the green 'Night rider' type bike looked pretty cool where Paul opted for the dirt bike with very bouncy suspension!
As mentioned above, Kawasaki make intelligent robots and there was one in the museum. The robot was a whiz at solving the Rubik's cube in 20 moves! It would pick one up (pre-mixed), study it and then proceed to twist and turn until all sides were made up of the same colours. It was impressive.
We also stopped in at the Maritime museum but there wasn't that much to see.
