The Rolling Ball Clock - Whangārei

Correct 🤗 It’s fascinating to watch and also, I think, an engineering marvel considering it keeps accurate time. The little mechanical man on the left works non-stop 😉

if it is the one in Jodhpur, it does have an eerie story to it

Jodhpur is close enough. The photo shows a shrine, consisting of an old 350cc Royal Enfield "Bullet" motorcycle, almost in the middle of nowhere. It was an interesting stop on our tour of Rajasthan in 2016. All travellers stop at this shrine when passing through.

India is full of little surprises like this

Footnote. Thousands British Royal Enfield motorcycles, 350cc & 500cc, were made under licence in India. They are still made today and exported to many countries, including Australia. Over the years the original design has gone through many improvements and updates.

A couple more pics.

So to become a deity, all you need to do is ride recklessly, and have a policeman friend with sense of humour?😄

(ps: Just looked it up on the net.)

No, qbay46 had it before me. 

 

I just added the link because it is such a fascinating story. 

The link pinpointed where I was which is 50+ klms from Jodhpur.

Sorry Qbay.
