LOL!
Harley makes a 30mph lawnmower that makes a lot of noise but doesn’t cut the grass very well or go around corners.
All any man can say: “Need one please.Hurry dude, the grass is growing out there.”
I had a Yamaha RD350B 2-cyl 2-stroke.
Could beat anything.
Also had a Kawasaki H1-F 500cc 3-cyl, 2-STROKE !
HOLY BURNED RUBBER BATMAN THAT WAS A MISSILE!
Did a wheelie once by accident. Scared the crap out of me.
you must be close to hemet i have a 07 stratoliner
Scariest one I ever had was a Yamaha 350, back in the late 1960's. -0- to 80 mph in about 3 seconds with one gear change. 10,000 RPM red line.
I'm lucky I'm still here.
Those things were a lot of fun, especially at 16 years of age.
Stratoliner is a good bike.
On the slow end of the scale there was this gent who took a Cub 100 and made a dozer!!!

It mows grass only up to 15 MPH. Boo.
Now THAT was a great show...don’t make ‘em like that anymore, huh?
I don't know how often I catch myself being Tim Taylor (when it comes to tools. Haven't glued a table to my head yet) ( YET:) )
I'll go to Sears to pay my Discover card, and I always go in the door over by the tools. Always. After paying, I'll browse around the tools. Often times wanting to grunt "more power, uh..uh...uh...uh)
That would cut about 2 hours off the weekend job. Must admit I enjoy the riding mower at it normal speed on a Saturday. I’ve convinced my wife it really is a lot of work.
its not like you have to go full throttle but then again knowing you...
When my kids were little, we’d catch it in reruns (about 14 years ago). We watched every single episode. I was always watching for the glimpses of Heidi. The tools and Wilson were good, too, of course.
14 years ago. NO WAY
It wasn't 14 years ago. You lie.
Mine was in Portuguese Orange, the color of the ‘75 model.
Prior to that my only bike was a Honda CB125 also a ‘75
It’s top speed was 63 mph. I was already too big for it.
Getting the Yamaha RD was like stepping into another world, even though it was a compact 350 cc. engine.It really was a street legal race bike (RD meant “race-developed”)which you could whip around curves at any speed, at a 45 degree tilt.
I’d come to the end of a 5 mile trip along an empty country road full of bends, hills, valleys, and finally come to rest at a stop sign, and was so thrilled by what I just did I’d jump up and down in my seat, yelling WOW!!!
