gone to the 'dark side'
« on: March 03, 2018, 10:20:23 AM »

after my 'american iron' let me down with 2 blown engines in a row, i've decided to go to the dark side.  that's right, i've gone and got a honda.  hopefully, this lasts me for a while as i don't like replacing chit too often.  smooth running, quiet, no hesitation in starting, and good power.  i think i'm gonna like this.  with spring coming on here, seemed like a good time to make the jump.

oh, and cause i know that  :worthless:

Great bikes I had a Kawasaki Nomad ran flawlessly for years made the jump to a 2015 cvo Road Glide Ultra told the guy filling out my paperwork I hope this bike is as dependable as my Kawasaki. He laughed

I did a similar upgrade last year just before the season started but I opted for the Swedish model which IMO is just a little sexier and the color reminds me of an American company that we are all familiar with.

Add ape handlebars, braided cables, & chrome wheels and you'll have the best bagger in your neighborhood.

Got the electric start / self propelled for the wife last fall do to the Toro was getting a bit weak and no matter what adjustment made to the personal pace she was having to push hard to do the lawn.
 On her first run with the Honda at low speed it was pulling her to the point she was running behind it.
 So like they say " Once you go Honda you never go back "
