Tomorrow I can start diagnosing my charging issue.. pretty sure it's the alt, guess all those trips to 6800 rpm land was a bit hard on it.

Oh, and 25 years is nothing, get back out there and I'm sure it will come back to in no time..

Probably the best example I've seen of driving a push was Fernando Alonso a couple years ago when Renault was a title contender in F1. He'd drive his car through corners in a controlled push lap after lap like no other driver I've seen. Technically pushing the front is more predictable or controllable than drifting the rear, guess it's comes down to perspective and patience. I still experience an elevated level of "panic" when the front gets loose, especially on a motorcycle, yet when the rear gets loose with a bike or car my mindset is such that I perceive it as entertainment.

Hope your issue is as simple as the alternator.

I promiss I'll find an autocross track to plow my way around in the near future.

Yourself and Penny are inspirational assets that fuel the passion. Thank very much for sharing the experience.
