I get it. My DRZ and a few others are up for sale. Especially if it's uncomfortable and causes a hip issue. I love them all but sometimes a guy has to cut ties with some of his favorite girls.

I bought that second tank of gas today. So, 150 miles @3 gals of regular 50mpg. The old broad has always been good on gas. That distance would be 6 gals of premium with Arpok.

It looks like I'll be riding the Maggot for the foreseeable future, and I no longer commute to work anymore, so I pulled the scooter trunk off the rear rack. Just doing that makes it a lot easier to swing my leg over.

I had a minor 'oh, shit' moment when I went to remove it as I had wired a brake light to the trunk back in 2011. I had a sigh of relief when I lifted the seat and I actually wired it in with plugs. I was kind of patting myself on the back when I saw that I did a pretty pro job of wiring up that bike. Relays are all labeled, routing is neat, zip ties trimmed. It almost looked like I knew what I was doing.
