    Well... I take it your post is a piss take, but some of the replys ya do have to wonder... I cant believe this is all there is to talk about on KB fuck me...

    as far as your 11am wake up goes what the bloody arse are you doing in bed at that hour... tell ya what Ill swap you your lawn mower for my to 2 under 4yr olds and then you will be awake at12pm, 2am, 5am, 5:30am, and forced to get up at 6am every fucking day...

    and NOW I feel like mowing my fucking lawns withe my big bored piped mower... then I might take a ride and go look for the local tagorama.

    I won't be able to yank start the old 2t rattle mower until I'm finished with the chain saw. 7am tomorrow morning, into some felling. If the sky heals. Mind you, I cleared enough trees for another section in the garden so I could ride the bike around instead. Got to practice my wheelies. Neighbours? Pffffffft.

    I actually fully agree with the OP, no lawn mowers should be petrol powered, make them electric. Preferably battery powered. If your lawn is bigger than one battery can handle...get a friggin goat!!

    BTW-The time one wakes up kinda depends on ones hours of work don't ya think? I've got a job which has rockstar hours now, start about 10pm and finish around 9-10am, so I'd be climbing into bed around 11am.

    Meh, it's your lawn and should be able to rape and pillage it at any time of the day and whatever machinery you can take to it with... I believe the first post is about the guy skiting that he can sleep in to high noon... The lawnmower is just an annoyance that doesn't really bother him... Kudos to lunchtime sleep ins, Just coming into an off season myself where sleep in s will be plentiful! Viva la bed

    Shit, ya can still buy a stroker... cool thought the PC brigade woulda stomped that by now... best mower I ever had was a Iron Horse (who remembers them?) mine was old in the early 90's exhaust went through the base above the blade, was a 2 piece half moon muffler, only the bottom half was missing on mine and it only had one speed... FARKING LOUD, suck on that OPer LOL, and tell ya what anything in its way was mauled.
