I've started a new job and barely have time for motorcycles currently, here is a view (terrible photo) of when I leave work at night:
I bought my ex-corworker's 1998 Suzuki GSX-R750 after many years of convincing:
As per usual, it is in storage until I can get to it. He was riding it home one day and stopped for coffee; after he came out - it would not start. Furthermore, the fuel injection system returned one code for a camshaft sensor. He replaced the sensor to no avail.
I also finally sent the forks out to be rebuilt for my daily rider 1994 Honda CBR900RR:
The bike rides so much better. I wish I had done it sooner.
In four wheeled news, I sold my 1997 Ford F350. It had the bulletproof (but down on H.P. given the displacement, 235H.P.) 7.3L Powerstroke engine. The transmission went out so I swapped a potent ZF-5 with a high performance clutch a couple months prior to the sale. 
After I sold it, I made a pretty silly decision and bought a 1988 Mazda 323GTX:
The car is pretty rare; some 1200 were brought to the states. Mazda took a base and mundane 323 and turned into a rally monster by strapping on a turbo, 4WD with lockable differentials and a strengthened chassis.
The one I bought has a large amount of modifications:
Corksport ECU Set for 16 PSI
VJ11 9111 Upgraded turbo set for 12 PSI
Ford Probe Upgraded Intercooler
CorkSport 160 T-Stat
Corksport Front and rear sway bars
Nearly all Poly bushings
BBK upgrade using Escort GT components
Konis on coil over sleeves with adjustable top hats
2.5 inch exhaust with custom down pipe
Front and rear strut bars
1 of 3 custom made short throw shifters
Hella fog lamp grill insert
Battery relocated to hatch with shut off switch
HKS Blow off valve
The problem is my new job works 6 or 7 days a week, leaving me no time to enjoy this little rally treat so it's currently on eBay.
On top of that, I need a good daily driver to get to Boston. A VW TDI would be nice....
Until next time,
See on the road!
