does anyone but me keep starter fluid spray around?  i don't know how you guys even have seasonal equipment without it. 



I do. Near the generator, the spare fuel etc etc etc.


I'm ready for most any emergency.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Yup, me too.

I think there are two or three cans on my property at all times.

It also doubles as a really kickass flamethrower.  ;)

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Grass fires are the only real hazard. [laugh]

Once you get the wheel and tire bolted back on (quickly) you can usually outrun the grass fire.

Unless you skipped the winter maintenance the prior year and it won't start easily....

You take the wheels off?

I had an old dump that had a tire go flat while sitting. The bead broke and I fixed it on the truck.

Had to put the fire out though.

It was in my yard.
