Lol.....

Yeah, well............everything in my life relates to motorcycles in one way or another.

My marriage has lasted 15 years partly because I'm usually tinkering on the bikes.....and staying away from the wife :thumbsup:

hi,
A paint job ain't gonna make it go fast, ! when i first signed up at the local tech hobby shop evening , back in the 90's , we had a guy making alloy wide wheels for his ride on mowing machine so I asked and got told he raced.

That just set me off laughing until he showed me his race slip from a DRAG race ! for mowers 109 mph thro the traps + you have to demonstrate it is still capable of cutting grass after the pass NO pit stop allowed. :yikes:

I decided I would stick to expansion chambers for my RD's :dots:

Don't know how I missed this post, Shift, that is absolutely hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing.

What's really wierd is that my cousin actually used to race riding lawn mowers back in the late 80's. We thought he was out of his mind, I still do.
I guess if you do it right they're really just a cross between a go-kart and a ATV that doesn't really handle well.
