A Day at the Spa

My dear old girl's missing a tooth. She's feeling down. First I take her shopping...








































...here.

































Mechanical insects, KTM style.

































The shop's called Tri-Valley Moto, and they open at nine. I'm there at a quarter till. They have Brünhilde's tooth in stock,
which is nice!






I also pick up a quart of Motorex. After our shop, I take her down to the fine lads at Autopia in Livermore,
who give her a spray and a rubdown.  I know, I know, I like them better when they're dirty, too. But a beauty like her
deserves a day at the spa every once and a while. Don't believe me?
































The boys did a fine job, but when I got back to the motel, I put her up on her center stand and gave her a good once over...
































...and I must say...



































































she scrubs up nicely!






































Brembos...










































Now that she's been pampered a bit, she's ready for some time by the seashore.








































The fine artistry of packing a motorcycle.






Off we go to Monterey to see the fishes! My girl feels better already!
