[ST] Repeat: Had to get those bars in my hand.



It was cool here in Dallas yesterday and we had a two inch snowfall twenty
miles away. But I just had to have those bars in my hand.
I waited until 1:00 PM and the temperature had risen to 59.
I pulled her out of the garage, checked the oil, and she started on the
first attempt. Disregarding safety I wore shorts, a t-shirt, and no gloves
or helmet.
The engine was running at full throttle as I slipped her into gear, gripped
the bars and we were off.
Almost didn't make the first turn as the engine insisted on staying at
redline! But I did make the turn!
Down the next straight at full throttle and into the ninety degree left
turn, then off again with the RPM's never dropping!
It stayed this way for about an hour and I was sweating like Smoky the Bear
stomping on fire ant beds.
I finally covered all the well know ground. Enough of this already and I
killed the engine after an extended run.
Now, a nice cold beer on the patio after I pushed the mower back into the
garage.
10 days and counting until the next moto-mower adventure:-)

BTW, she's almost needing new tires and an oil change.
Does anyone have a tire recommendation or know if using regular Mobil1
instead of the fancy Sears branded mower oil will hurt the engine?
