Good morning Michael! I am not sure what hey more sleep is but good luck! Sounds like you need a nap.

Yeah not as bad as I thought but they haven't gotten real deep yet so I am sure it will get worse!

Also saw both rubber boots ripped on the driver side axel shaft. Have you ever replaced those or know of a good write up on how to do it?
Dustin, not sure if you saw this or can assist with info. Thanks

Never fun especially if you have no other access like an alley way to your house or business.

Gotcha! Why are you hauling your car there instead of driving it?

I saw that huge pile at the city works place. The county threw some crappy patch and gravel down on 81 turning onto 30 that almost took me out yesterday.

I didn't see it.. you snuck it in there on me.

I've done the axle shaft on MK3s, and on b5.5s... The key to both is having the triple squares. they've been using them since the early 80's.

That looks like a Torx but different. Is that a correct assesment?

I will drive it there. I happened to have the car at home so I needed to figure out a way to get it on the flatbed anyway but I don't think that is going to happen.

Sealcoating isn't bad. The gravel sucks. Bad.

I bet Jay will enjoy it with the motorbike.

I love DCTC. Have only done it on a bike though. Have fun and kick their *****.

It's a blast Jay. Take some bike classes out there if you haven't. Not only is it a blast to ride, but you might learn something too. And since they are instructional classes, you are covered by insurance as opposed to a race track, where you are not. I know this first hand. That's where my son crashed my 600RR. My son--><--me
