I got a roadracing tie tack, sent from England, where, apparently roadracing's wildly popular. That's all that was motorcycle-related.

For non-m/c stuff, I got a pocket copy of the Constitution. No, not the ship, the document. And a paperback novel.

Oh! And I got to spend about $1700 in diesel parts, fluids, tools (front crankshaft seal install tool...) and, sigh, one more weekend of diesel repair to get the last leak (front crank oil seal). By published estimates, this would have been about $9,000 in labor if brought to the dealer, maybe slightly less at a random diesel shop. Don't forget those Christmastime auto bills, they're REALLY special.

I got to spend Xmas with my Grandsons way back east in Northern VA.

[blendedfamily]

holy crap! I got half a helmet, as soon as I can get back to work I can save up for the rest of it. Its a good start though. I can put it to use when I high-side Jeff's purty new bike.

Actually I did get a new front wheel but have it off to the powder coater atm!!, LOL

And I got a used rear swingarm and wheel (17") from a 09 ex250. still looking for a rear caliper to help slow it down if I should run off the track into the dirt.
Still looking for a 17" front end

You should just burn that truck to the ground and cut your losses.

Consensus it's not worth ditching if you can do the labor yourself, as long as the block stays in the frame.

Yes. But it's not the usual list of issues, I've either already taken care of all of those or prevented them in passing this time.

There were four separate oil leaks, two required me to pull the oil cooler cover, one a valve cover, and the last one is on the front crankshaft oil seal - this one was 'liveable' so I've waited until this break (and for the tool to arrive). Will replace it tomorrow (it's fucking cold in the garage right now).

Got 200k normal miles from it. Then it just started leaking from all over the engine - all previous dealer work gaskets AFAICT. LONG out of warranty.
