Lawnmower or racecar?

Haha wow! The things people do with their spare time lol. I've seen things like this for years. Have you ever seen the guy who rides around on his couch? It's so crazy looking!:laughing:

If you'll notice, he is on the beach with it! Yeah, fast is one thing, but can it cut grass? That's what I want to know!

The article says...
"Don Wales yesterday cut the record, after first cutting a patch of grass to prove he was riding a lawnmower, recording an average speed of 138.5kmh on Pendine Sands in Wales."

so I guess it will cut grass also... :smile:KennyV

Thanks for the clip, it was a lot of fun to watch. When I saw the size of the truck I was waiting for a monster machine but it looked small! I do enjoy watching people with such passion for something.

That's a good movie. For those who don't know, "Indian" is a brand of motorcycle and Anthony Hopkins played a man who attempted a land speed record on an Indian -- in the 1960s, on a 1920 motorcycle.
