Default Random but profoundly sad statistic

I've just noticed that the hour meter on my ride-on lawnmower is increasing at a faster rate than the hour meter on my bike.

Your lawn mower has an hour meter.
If you did the same rides I did, then you wouldnt have a problem would you. Im coming up on 100hours in 11months, and that includes 3 months off with a broken arm.

Sure, my ride-on has an hour meter - John Deere, the finest lawncare equipment that money can buy...God bless America!! You gotta love the Briggs and Stratton V-twin.... sounds just like a Harley. Sometimes when I'm mowing on a warm day, I close my eyes and imagine myself cruisin' down some California highway, wind in my hair, skanky young chick on the back, just livin' the American dream.... and then I smack into the apple tree and wake up.

I wouldn't be bragging about 100 hours in almost a year (or 8 months, broken arm considering). This year was a slow year since I started a new business and I still put on 110 hours in 3 months in spring 2010.

I feel for you guys though, I bought a Husaberg FE390 in August and it still has under 40 hours on it.

Cut the apple tree out,the moths getim anyway.Delegate the cutting of the lawn to the local dirtbag but don't let him cut ya lunch, when your out riding.

I believe the John Deere V twin is actually made by Kawasaki...it does make a lovely sound...but its a 90 deg engine with proper firing intervals

but I dream of California highways just like you....

I don't have or need a ride on lawnmower, but the hours are racking up on my snowblower.

Cruiser is a John Deer tech, he will chime in.
