No one else will appreciate my excitement more than all of you. Now where can I get a muffler for her for less than $180? Posted on: 2010/1/29 14:19

	If it wasn't for those meddling kids, and their dog too... 1952 200 deluxe touring- its a goer...but not a stopper. Just ask my neighbour about her flower bed.

It will not be identical to stock but who will know the difference? Except your wallet. Posted on: 2010/1/30 10:57
