Thread: Road Ride or Lawn Ride

They are lawn mowers and will only cut a lawn.
If you try using it on anything rougher then the deck/belts will start giving problems.

No contest.

If you have a sizeable yard, get a riding lawn mower.

I didn't bring one over in the 40 ft. container and 'am kicking myself for not having done so...

Our land is flat and fairly true so as long as I stayed on a regular schedule, it would be fine. Would still need a wacker for the edges and on the steeper slopes of the pond and driveway, but 95% could be cut with a good mower.

have you asked her why?

as for lawns, stuff them, they are too much trouble

Buy a deck chair. Sit in it with a Margarita watching the gardener cut the grass while you plan your next trip on a CB500X,.

That's not bad advice! The wife likes to take motorcycle trips so she is biased pro- bike. I hate seeing the grass get long, knowing Local-Farmer-Dude will take his sweet time coming over. Watching him cut the grass is not exactly my idea of a fun day, so maybe hopping on the bike and leaving might be the answer......

Maybe wifey likes the Local-Farmer-Dude and wants you out of the way?

not much to think about here, get the bike and the missus a pair of scissors

You have a wife Why would you need to pay someone to come and cut the grass ?
Simply buy the wife her very own weed whacker, buy the bike and job done

Get the mower.
Bling it out with a custom seat, sun shade, neon running lights, mags, esky and stereo.

Dubbed the Mean Mower, the Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor-based machine retains its original look and still cuts grass, but is claimed to do 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds and reach an estimated top speed of 209km/h – all at 130db.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Nice! Ahhhh, mowing sounds around the property.....

That looks great, but I would'nt like to be doing 200 K's an hr on it thanx.

I just purchased a Honda Gas push mower. Our lot in here in Chiang Rai is flat and rock free. Picked them all up myself. Then go down and pick up a new 500X...best of both worlds....

^ Job well done, I say.

Ride on mower for sure, its fun to drive and you will not be run over by a fortuner or pickup driver

There's a message in there somewhere...

Go for the bike.

Petrol hand mower. It keeps me fit and I get the satisfaction of sitting back after its done and having a cool drink. I earned it. A ride on mower's shite at getting close to the walls and corners.
