That is what I am leaning towards! 200 to get it done professionally with warranty, or get one from the JY for 60 bucks and learn how to do it. I am thinking have the shop do it

was this friday? If so i was rushing around getting ready for my race.

planned on leaving at 4pm, but ended up being 7pm, after i ran out of fuel a half a mile from the gas station. after i got going again, i got a flat tire on the trailer...not the way i wanted to start the weekend.

But my race went decent, i guess. last year there was 40 riders at the first race for my class and i missed qualifying by one spot, this year there was 40 riders again and i went 10-12 for 16th out of 40.

Not great but its an improvement.
My second moto i pulled my first holeshot ever (first person around the first corner), but i stalled it in the second corner and dropped back to 20th cause i couldnt get it running again.

Good times!
we were paving at work today so 3 of us were dispatch to tilcon in new Britain. But once we got to rt9 and 175 we decided to cut through campus. Not really a short cut but well worth the trip.

Some classes have better reasons to go than others.
