owner was very gracious and said that's why we have insurance...Dad not too happy...
My first was going off a 15 mph curve at about 60. Narrowly avoided hitting a silo, tore up the guys lawn, and packed my engine full of sod. Of course I left the scene of the accident. Top speed in the departure about 15 mph.
A few guys at the party did turf removal, bent the engine fan back into place. An hour later I was back on the road.
