So I am helping my buddy prepare his lawnmower for our local festivities this weekend. I can't help but want one....



It is stupid irresponsible fast and dangerous....








I have a KZ1000 engine just dying to be used in this way. I can't even fathom... :woohoo:

Nah, don't build a lawnmower, someone may expect you to mow the lawn - and that's too much like work. Now building a golf cart - that's a different story because it can be used for leisure. Talk about shooting a quick 9 holes! :laugh:

+1 I've always wanted to see full contact golf where anything goes and the object is simply to finish first regardless of the number of shots it takes or how bad the injuries are. :laugh:

You guys are crazy, golf is awesome. If youve ever played it youd agree, unless you suck hardcore, then i could see it being frustrating.

So my buddy's back is out, and he can't drive in the drags tommorrow. So that leaves me...I haven't even test drove the thing, but hell you only live once right??? This is a veteran machine having run the circuit for a few years before my buddy bought it last year. I will try and get some more pics up tonight of it fully assembled and then hopefully a video of the races tommorrow.

There is a whole group of guys up here in the northwest that run these things at local fairs and such. They are a hoot. This particular machine was an a$$kicker last year, but is having a few carb issues we are still trying to sort out. The quad rings around the throttle linkage are shot = massive vacuum leak. Can't seem to find a suitable oring or other replacement. It's running a little better so were gonna try and run it regardless. Wish me luck :woohoo:

I'm definately building one for myself if I survive......

So the day of the big race is here, and it's pouring rain. Since it was my first time riding this beast, the organizer asked if I still wanted to run....Hell Ya! :woohoo:

(Mines the red one...)

It's so slippery it is a continuous burnout....

It's a hoot! I'm thinking this 750 Seca just can't move my big ass fast enough. A Z1000 is in order!
