100 MPH Honda Lawnmower

Oops, er, 130MPH lawnmower. Sorry if its a repost.

linky

Very nice, but I can't wrap my head around how those front brakes work, and I don't think the fiberglass blade fairing will hold up to the first decent-sized rock that gets kicked up. Maybe ABS plastic would hold up better?

The front brakes are just normal 2WD quad disc brakes. It's just that the disc bolts to the back of the hub. Meaning you have to remove the hub to change disc.

As for the rest of the built. Cool in its utter pointlessness.

that makes me happy. i want one.....

But I have an itty bitty yard!

You have neighbors don't you?

And it doesn't say how fast it can actually cut grass! I need to know how much it will cut down on my mowing time, Dammit!!

And hare I was trying to figure out how to put a small block on a mower.

I'm entertained by the copious amounts of stupidity in the comments.

In reply to Swank Force One:

They were more entertaining than the article!

In reply to bgkast:

Do they get better? I skimmed the first half dozen and they were just aggressively stupid, or stupidly aggressive...

I think some of the comments stole some of my intelligence.. I certainly feel more stupid having read them

I'm going to go out and buy the 2013 S2000 that Honda isn't advertising, but seems to be quietly hiding on dealership showroom floors.

I have a postage stamp of a yard.. can I get a 100bhp weedwacker instead?

And put the engine in a lawn mower...

Yes you can. See the chainsaw competitions for some direction...
