Some evil thungs keep telling me and my fellow Kawa-riders that Kawa-riders are - lawn boys......They say that those ugly (????) green machines are not motorcycles, but better suited as lawn mowers. They are all wrong. Of course we are lawn-boys. But we have our own green, mean machines for that purpose...... |
Let me introduce you to the most famous and crazy Lawn Boy in town;
| This is Arild "The Lawn Boy" with his two favorite machines; the GREEN lawn mower (Lawn-Boy) & his GREEN motorcycle (2000 Kawa ZX-6R). Most of his free time, Arild is driving around on one of these lovely babies. | |
| Here is Arild, all dressed up for some action on the lawn mower. Proper safety gear is neccessary when you do this kind of driving. First of all you need a good leather suit with knee sliders. And of course, then you need a helmet, gloves and a pair of boots. And a lot of guts! | |
| Take off!!! Arild gets a good start and is picking up speed very quickly. After the engine tuning he did last week, the lawn mower is a beast, and not easy to control. It can easily pop wheelies on the first 3 gears, the top speed is a secret.....Next modifications to be done to the mower, is fixing the suspension, which is to soft according to Arild. |
|
| Arild - "The Lawn Boy" - is getting ready for some serious cornering. It's important to adjust your speed before you go into the curve, so you don't loose your grip when entering, and then you can use throttle to gain speed out of the corner. | |
| Arild is doing great through the corner, and is almost getting his knee down!!! This kind of driving is only for experienced drivers, don't try this at home unless you are a pro racer..... |
