Another great design for mowing down pedestrians on shared sidewalks.

(The sidewalks is for you North American guys/gals. We call them footpaths down under.)

Our test driver said that the bike was more stable on the straights now, but complained that it's pushing mower in the turns . . . pushing reel bad, in fact.

After Bubba's tenth DWI citation, the last while going home from the bar on his lawn tractor, the police even took away his rights to a motorized lawn mower.

You should see him do wheelies when he is drunk - it will scare you - especially if you're in front of him.
