I've seen those. Glad to see you used a comfortable bike rather than a 400 lb Schwinn... :mrgreen:

LOL

We saw a pic of one of those on Facebook I think a couple days ago. I wondered to myself just how corners would be. I'd be tempted to mow in gentle curving circles.

Good job Pitchy.

Now to try and watch one of the videos.

I watched 'em both. You keep riding that mower and you're gonna have some real strong leg muscles. Not to mention the extreme cardiac exercise program.

If this was 1960 you's be a millionaire.

That... is a good idea.

:idea:
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Good start Pitchy, now if you can work out how to make a raking and baling attachment you'll be able to harvest your own stock feed for winter :lol: :lol:
And, no I'm not yanking your chain, I actually believe you could do it :wink:
