I thought I would be more excited to get a good deal on a new Honda.

right.
mine came with a good shop manual and is fun to work on.
Also - easy to avoid the lure of aftermarket add-ons.
Have fun....

Looks to be a "track only" model...no lights, no mirrors. Are those Pirelli rain tires?

there seems to be considerable neglect of the block paving and that wall covered in black algae

more time grafting and less time playing with new toys is called for, methinks

I invested in an electric model some years ago. Lawn is in such a poor state that I only have to use it 2-3 times a year.

I have my own property and a family property to mow. While it sucks for riding MC, I did appreciate our recent hot weather which stunted the lawn growth.

I bought this place with a small "lawn" last October. The previous owners had a dog and small child. There were various lumps of play furniture, kennel etc so big bare patches and compacted soil. I've converted about a third of it to horticulture but the soil is a lot of clay so cracks when dry. I have more dandelions than grass so it has only been mowed 3 times. Once before easter, then once either side of my June holiday. Some other nice wild flowers, aka weeds, have emerged such as buttercups and a couple of types of bittercress. I will encourage other wild flowers to out compete the dandelions to reduce mowing further and plant more ground covering perennials. Then the electric Bosch mower can be retired.

Up until a month ago I was mowing every 3 or 4 days, then it turned hot and dry. Now I haven't mowed for a couple weeks.
The Bluegrass is already looking sick.

I'm trying to convert my lawn to a white clover lawn. Sadly, the 15-lbs of clover mix lawn seed I purchased at the big box home center seems to be a hay and weed mix.

---

ah, yes. I have a bit of white clover in one corner which will be encouraged to expand

maybe you need to get some yellow rattle to parasitise the grass first
