    What if...
    ...Isleen went to her "spa" weekend yesterday?

    She's getting all her fluids & filters serviced & bled.
    New plugs (going with NGK 6s, non Iridium, need to establish a baseline)
    Investigating a possible leak in the rear pedal brake system
    Some minor cosmetic work done on her undercarriage
    And then new shoes (E4s - her 3d set))
    My dealership is doing all this work. They take care of me.

    It is supposed to rain all weekend, so I thought it was a good time before my BIG trip.
    Of course, now the sun is out....lol.

    So what's the big trip? When are you coming this way in June? We have been having crappy cold weather so far and I'm starting to get the itch to ride!

    The BIG trip starts in Monument CO where I'm meeting my riding mentor at my sister's house, heads towards the North Rim, then up the backside of CA to Crater Lake in OR, then Hwy 1 to Vancouver.. Heading east to Glacier, Yosemite, Badlands, Rushmore, then to my younger sister in Milwaukee. Then to MI, Toronto, New Brunswick, (Lloyd!). Down to Maine, VT/NH, Finger Lakes in NY and my friend in Quakertown, PA. Then BRP to my favorite hills in NC/TN. Then the KY Bourbon Trail. Or something like that....lol.
    Planning about 5 weeks underway. Very limited super slab routing. Can't wait.

    This sounds awesome. Posts like this get me thinking about retirement.
    Riding the upward spiral.

    ...I made it home after 3 oil changes, a new rear tire, a Traxxion suspension servicing, and 18,000 miles?

    Isleen sounds like a very spoiled young lady...

    By comparison my motorspouse has never seen a spa day, in fact she doesn't clean up very often, she sits sedentary for months at a time, and her seat is getting softer. Even when I manage to get her revved up the ride is over too soon. (ok admittedly that might not be her fault)

    What if...I commit to ensure she is cared for properly, as she justly deserves and take her out more often....?
    Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a "B"
    What does the B stand for? B-Courteous. B-Safe. B-Seen.....B-CNU on the road!
