Many of my customers have those and they are phenominal mowers. Best in the market in my opinion.

Thanks for the tips, Bill...I am a greasing machine but it is always good to know the failure spots!

What type of shop do you have?

I do powersports repair. Motorcycles (mostly BMW). ATV Side by Sides and Lawn and garden equipment. Was a service manager for a big multi line dealership sold John Deere tractors, Kubota tracrors Kawasaki and Yamaha motorcycles atvs jet skiis. Mariner and Yamaha outboards. After 13 years I took the step of faith, and went out on my own. Less stress and lots of freedom. Been doing my own thing for 22 years now. Love it.

Paul,
I really like that photo. I like the composition, I like the "street" look to it.
It is one of those photos that just, at least for me, really appeals. Even the expressions and your son's back to us and facing the task at hand. The landscape, really appealing.

Brilliantly done!

Nice job indeed on the trophy!

Wow 71T Targa, the photo of the truck loaded with bikes must mean a big crew to adventure with!
If you haven't already (and as long as the crew can ride gravel OK) go check out the Whitehorse trail... there's vast sections that are finished just short of paving.

My Son and I parked just East of the Oso slide and rode West yesterday about 8-9 miles and it's fantastic.
We only saw 2 peeps the entire time we were out there... there's great river access and views to be had. I've only covered about half the 30 miles from Arlington to Darrington and I'm very impressed with it.

Only a couple mile long sections paved so far, including right past & through the slide area.






You should avoid eating the little mushrooms along the trail- I felt fine but it seems to have effected my camera a bit...
