Glad I just got one from a yard sale. I don't really have a use for it, just fixed it and think it is nice to stand in my front yard at the beginning and end of each day (within the legal noise ordinance) revving it up and blowing nothing. Just for my neighbours.

My neighbor is OCD about cleaning his electric dirt bike. He’ll pressure warsh it for thirty minutes and then spend an hour blow drying it with a gas blower. Dude it’s good enough.
