Motorcycle Fair

What's learnt in the craddle, lasts till the tomb!
The Motorcycle Fair or "Motorbeurs Utrecht" is an annual fair filled with the latest models & gear, stunts and free magazines :P
The motorcycle fair is held at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht in February. If you don't want to come on a motorcycle, it is a short walk from the station! If you do come with your motorcycle, parking is free as long as there are parking spots left.

I took some shots with my iphone, and I'd like to share a few!

Old indian motorcycle, vintage motorcycle, jaarbeurs Utrecht, Motorbeurs Utrecht,

This is a very old India motorcycle, I believe they started selling them around 1901!


A new engine from Honda. There were also automatic motorcycles from Honda which you could sit on. So naturally, I tried. It feels really weird that there is no clutch! And they were way too big and too high for me!

A fancy custom made chopper!

An old Honda!

Yeah... What should I say?


Aside from  motorcycles, gear, boots, helmets and all that, there were some keychains, stickers, spare parts and parking signs!

I hope you enjoyed them! Have you visisted the Motorcycle fair / Motorbeurs Utrecht this year?

One Third - A project on food waste

"One Third" is a photograph project by Klaus Pichler. According to a UN study 1/3 of all the food in the world goes to waste. On the other side, there are 925 million people around the world threatened by starvation. Klaus arranges rotting food to a pretty still live, that is, until you look at them up close!

Do you try to cook and buy food that you only need so that you don't throw it away if you have too much?

Beetroots
Chocolate cookies
Watermelon
Pineapple
strawberries

Pineberry

Pineberries, Albino strawberries

albino strawberries, light strawberries, ananas aardbei

pineberries

These are "pineberries", a strawberry with a bit of a pineapple taste. It's a bit more sour than a regular strawberry but they are still nice. Sometimes they are also called a "albino strawberry". Whatever you prefer!

Did you try these pineberries? What did you think of it?
