    Ha! Been tempted.

    Been trimming hedges the last few days with my trusty Stihl and...well, the reciprocating blades are sort of mesmerising. Don't know why...but there are moments when I want to touch them.

    Happily I can vividly picture the bright red blood, the fierce stark pain, the utter foolishness of even trying. Thanks for doing it for me.

    I am confused...had you turned it off prior to deciding to touch the blade?
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    As long as it's not in gear and the rear wheel is off the ground I don't see a problem
