When I rode a whole lot I stopped at my favorite watering hole and told some people I finally broke down and bought a Honda and got the looks.....Then I said Lawn Mower LOL, Honda does make very good long lasting engines, still trying to get Kathy sold on the idea, she thinks the portable is fine, I'm tired of running cords every where and chasing and trying to find fuel, Nat Gas Gen is a No Brainer in my mind and last year they ran a new gas line under the yard, new meter
