That's been around for a long time. I remember seeing one about 35 years ago. A 2 wheel drive motorcycle.

Web page said you can fill the wheels with a couple gallons of gas! Or leave them empty and float...

I like the accessories available. I wonder if I got the mower if I’d be able to convince the wife it was actually a lawn tractor?



We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Yeah, it's more of a burro than a horse. Slow, reliable, go anywhere, hard to kill.
