Yeah... Spending $460 on getting new rubber on Woona this Friday. Hits the wallet hard, but so worth it.

Better be fucking worth it, because I find out today that I need a new tie-rod, a new ball joint, new rear axle seals, AND, I have to replace the steering rack on my truck! So, until Nightmare Moon (my truck) is fixed, Woona (my bike) is my only transportation.

I guess buying the chrome plated twin .50 cal machine guns to mount on my hood will have to wait till another time.

Maybe tomorrow, I might get to do a hundred miles or so on Woona. Get some wind therapy goin. I friggin NEED it right now lol
