u guys will be proud!
09/19/09 at 13:47:19

well down here it's still hot and the grass grows...too well!

our lawn mower is maybe 4 years old, we keep it under a cover outside(no garage or shed) so the weather beats them up. i went to start her up and the cord attached to the thing u press down on the bar snapped! and it's in a sleeve so it's difficult to pull up and retie SO i did what most savage bobbers would do!

i followed the string down, noticed it pulls a spring open, i assume lets in fuel. like a petcock in my thinking! SO i opened it with my hand, jammed a screwdriver in it to keep it open and mowed the lawn. when finished i just removed it, now i figured it would just shut off but it took a little coercing to do that.

the important thing is i got the job done, and i used my brain & my savagely good rat bike instincts lol

who approves? Cheesy

Congratulations!....
Soon you'll be eying bent bits of metal in the road and seeing treasure...

I have buckets of it,... some is on my bike...
VCR lid for a under seat cover plate,... BMX bicycle footpegs for handlebars risers,... street sign, license plate bracket,... hockey puck, kickstand foot,...

"Ohh!,..Look!... Is that a broken lawn chair on the side of the road!"...
"Yes!,... Score!"... Grin

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

lol!! good one!

one of the kid's dad's @ karate builds old harley choppers, his is like a '59 or something. very sweet but i wasn't into the kickstart since he was there for a good couple of minutes jumpin on the thing!

ANYWAY he said if i had waited he coulda got me an old sportster....then proceeded to tell me i'd have to fix it every week...@least he was honest!
