Sunday I finally got it out of the garage after a looooong winter. Started right up thanks to the trickle charger. I told my wife that I'd be back in the house in about 45 minutes, so I just wore a t-shirt, sweat pants and some old running shoes. After 30 minutes of some non-stop riding, I started feeling it. I had forgotten about the heat that the engine was pumping out onto my legs. Yikes. It's going to be a bad summer. Yep, that Cub Cadet Garden Tractor sure puts out the heat. Gonna have to start mowing in the cooler evenings.

Mow on.

Dude... if I wore that I'd feel heat even on the wing.. The sun's heat will zap you faster than the engine on the ST will.

My wife won't let me wear all my motorcycle gear when I mow the lawn. For some reason she thinks a full face helmet, Aerostich jacket & pants & MC boots are a little excessive. She thinks I look like enough of a dork because I wear hearing protector earmuffs.

That's what I like about fishing, it dosen't matter how many you catch and throw back, as long as you keep the hook in the water, other's will bite

Don't give my wife any ideas!! Wouldn't mind ATGATT if the lil vtwin could push her more than walkin speed!

I HAVE rolled mine (3 times, actually!) but I just can't seem to kill the dang thing! Good ol Cub Cadet!

Reminds me...gotta get some liquid gold for the mowers...$$
