It is old and so donkus looking that it is very cool! And yes, it does make the XS650 (and most other 70's-80's bikes) look state of the art.

great pics Those long walks in God's country sure are good for keeping a person grateful and grounded in what really counts in life eh.
Shows how lucky we are when it comes to good neighbours with that being a border crossing.
Heavy snow this weekend, but got the neighbor's machine started (stuck float needle) and he cleared our shared driveway for us.
Meanwhile in Arizona…..
Really because when I went there it rained the whole f-ing time. Barely did any hiking/exploring and didn't go shooting either.

A bit early for the central plains...
7+ inches Sat/Sun. Starting to snow again.
Not supposed to yet but I did some shoveling. Ordered a secret weapon to keep the snow away for the rest of the winter.
If it doesn't keep the snow away it can help me move it.

Too bad that's corded.
I wanted corded. I have a small driveway and not much other stuff to shovel. A cord should (I hope) should not be a problem.

My Son bought one. tried it twice. Tip #m1 if thhe wind ain't at your back You'll look like a cross between a 6' iceacle and Frosty the snowman after 1 pass.I'll send down a case of electrical tape...........
I had a corded hedge trimmer.
I hear they will cut hedges.................
Tip #2 Once that cord get pulled into the auger. A case of tape ain't enuff!
Years ago when I was living in OH, I had a magic combination...Toro made these small snow blowers that had a 2-stroke engine, but to start it, it had a little umbilical that plugged into 120VAC.
Always started, no onboard battery to f*ck with, and surprisingly a powerful little pos.

!!! ... where I am at and with the surface area that I need to clear, when it snows proper-like, I need a two-man operation with a pair of vintage Bolens tractors, Kohler M20 engines, a 42" blade on one and a 40" blower on the other. It'll be a 2 or 3 hour operation.
