My buddy is going through the same thing so I moved in with him.  We have 11 cars total so the house is interesting.

3 cars parked in the house garage, 4 in the shop and the rest are outside.

 Strange... I got an email notification from F-R that Jamman had posted in this thread. The link, however, takes me to the 1st post of the thread. A post by Jamman is nowhere to be found. Not sure what happened. :'(

 I deleted it, I evidently was on the previous page when I replied and when it appeared on the last page it was no longer relevant.

 There is a simple psychological explanation for your confusion. You must be working out a quasi-functional fixation you have repressed to avoid conflict between your id and ego.

Saturday & Sunday I worked a dirt bike race event local to my work's shop. My boss told me "you'll be there all day. Bring your dirt bike for a pitbike"
I happily obliged. And loved it. First time using the dirt bike hitch carrier from Harbor Freight. 400lb capacity. But the ramp was rendered useless. 7" lift makes it hard.
Luckily. My dirt bike weighs only 140lbs so the boyfriend and I just team lifted it into the carrier. Truck handled well. 
(I didn't put it in the bed because I was hauling 2 chairs, the cooler, shovel, my farm jack, dirt bike stand, and the can of pre-mix for my dirt bike. No vacancy in the bed haha)

 Did some maintenance to the 97, rotated the tires, greased the ball joints, checked all fluids, air filter, and rainexed the windshield.

 Your ball joints must have been replaced somewhere along the way. OEM doesn't provide grease fittings, which I always thought was a bad idea.
