Bearcats on the loose in Singapore!

So I was riding my bicycle home last evening (okay so it was 2am and I'd had a few beers) and passed through a neighborhood that is fractionally outskirtish - not even semi-rural. But Singapore is heart of the tropics. And the jungle only got pushed back a generation or so ago.

I started down a hill and heard a rustle, glanced left just in time to spot two bulky Bearcats breaking for cover in the drainage ditch! (At least I hope they were ducking for cover and not looking for a big dinner!)

Frankly, I didn't know what they were until just now! Cause I've seen Civets and these weren't - much stouter - they were exactly like the ones being fed in the photo, but with a broad band of white across their rump.

Two of these things running a parallel intercept and believe me, I wasn't slowing down to check them out!

Hells Yeah

Back in the mid through late 70’s, Himalayas all played Electric Light Orchestra- cranking so loud, you could hear it in the parking area 2 blocks away! Those were the best times to ride these beasts. The operators were NUTS and they did some pretty crazy & entertaining stunts on and off of the moving sleds. I’m ready to go ride one right now!! – JJ ‘71

Not a Himalaya

The pictures is a Music Express manufactured by Mack. It's manufactured in several configurations/names. The ORIGIAL Himalaya was manufactured by Josef Ziere who manufactures the immensely popular Wave Swinger. The owner of the Himalaya plans moved the manufacturing from Germany to France and the Reverchon factory converted the ride from electric drive to hydraulic. The basic design didn't change until the factory redesigned the ride to fit in a "standard" building that could house several round rides. Though the ride remained popular the original design and charm was lost and the new design proved much less popular.
