    Lawn mower wheel wear

    I found letting a self propelled mower do just that and not push it has had good results in gear life for me after fixing once. I was told this advice from the local shop where they fix them that I purchased my parts for the repair.

    Coffman's Exhaust

    I mounted mine Friday and got to ride both that day and a little Saturday. In stock config there very nice, deeper bass tones and you can actualy hear your bike but definitely not obnoxious even after a 3 hour ride. Uclears had harder time with wind noise than exhaust in fact once under way you...
