Why yes, I am a Smart ***
When it comes to riding lawn-mowers (sorry Ian )
Somebody plant a big o'l size 12 up my ***. I just gave "It" some more character. It was 85 here today and time to cut the grass for the first time this year. After coaxing the the rider back to life for two hours I got-R-done. After blowing the clippings off the Z-turn I was backing it back into its home past my bike when some part of the mower topples the bike. I have the bike on the center stand and still can't figure out what hit the bike, but she rocked forward with me just a watching her go down. Part of her resting on the back of the mower and has knocked the fuel line out of the fuel filter. Gas is flowing everyplace. I get the mower out of there and handle the leak. Then I go to examine the damage. The bike is resting beautifully on the slider (thanks Ian ) and the muffler. No plastic touched down. I pick the bike up (this is a really easy bike to lift BTW. I almost threw her over the other way) and check for damage. a small scuff on the engine cover. no big deal. But the bag and fastbag, 3 inch GOUGES in both. not a minor scratch. When it went down on the mower it ran across a metal tang that dug into the plastic. Time for astro-turf
