lol....well I drive it to the exhaust shop .......motard in the bed .. air shocks wont hold air they got a leak..had to go couldn't diagnose it .... fucked up one wheel rubbing the bed side....exploded turtles every lane change .. about died from exhaust in the cab ..rode like a caddie though..... prolly  shoulda left the motard at home for the wheels sake and my exhaust buddy is working his magic ... although costing mre then I expected I am cramming this down his throat last minute .....so im fine with that...hans is out having a brand new driveline made ..this shit is ridiculous... im gonna need sunday for me time if this happens... I need a week to just address the small things that are coming up and I have tonight then its a 80 mile trip sounds like im gonna be white knuckling it

...... it was blowing exhaust back out the flex pipe right in the back carb......im  hoping the exhaust will also have a little more back pressure and allow  me to tune it better

..... its not running too bad ... too fat definitely from the burning eyes in the cab from the hole in the floor and exhaust being cut right there...its quick ..... thinking im burning a little oil too lbut till its tunes and timed reflecting ecxhaust and what not I wont really know....hoping the unfamiliar toilet will drop me off to pick it up I don't wanna fuck withte bike and my wheel anymore...
