    people haul ass around here. I used to be one of them. I feel like a sitting duck when I’m cruising at 70mph on the highway.

    After wrecking my FZ-09 I don’t know that I would want to get back on a motorcycle. Too many distracted drivers out there. If I lived in the city and had friends close by I’d consider one. Or a Ruckus with a GY6 swap.

    North Carolina titles are a lot nicer than South Carolina titles. South Carolina ones come the same way as the old paystubs came with the 3 sides you tear off

    That is a expensive piece of paper! At least South Carolina is cheaper.

    Plugged in TS to try and play with some settings. Most of them dont have any available settings to change for whatever reason.

    also interesting that the C1340 code is active but the CDL works fine and there is no active CEL or other lights on the dash.

    I guess the new fluid will show itself if the rack is bad. Otherwise I’ll just get a new boot and clean it up real good. I had planned on new inner and outer tie rods anyway.

    So you ready to take the $13k offer yet? It’s all minor stuff but it sure does add up fast.

    I mean, kinda considering it. On the other hand replacing all this stuff would need to be done eventually. Sucks to do it all at once but it’ll be done and good to go for the next 250k.

    Also, i don’t really have to rush to get it all done either since it’s technically not my daily yet. I can put selling the truck on the back burner and get everything done and take my time.

    Cruiser Outfitters inner and outer tie rods and OEM boots ordered.

    Will look into new CV boots. I’m sure these will rip soon as the front end goes vertical.
