There are many questions in life to ponder. Here over at Baller, we’ve been wondering a few things for quite some time now, like; why is the plastic they use to cover cds so indestructible, can you have too many Armani suits & who is the fastest man on a lawnmower.
Well so far it’s this guy: Bobby Cleveland, the Engine Answerman for Gold Eagle & he set the World Speed Record for Lawn Mowers on the 4th July 2006 at 80.792 mph on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
In a few days time he’ll be in England to witness the British attempt to break the record & exceed the 100mph barrier.
Boys on their quads will no longer have to stop at the edge of the water and wish they had a jet ski instead. At the flick of a switch the Gibbs Quadski, by the new amphibian Gibbs Technologies, makes the crossover from land to water in about 5 seconds. This full on recreational vehicle is a quad bike and a jet ski in one funky looking speed machine.
