    Put on the Summer Wheels/Tires if it ever warms enough to do so!

    Getting it detailed the week before I leave.

    Also going to have some regular maint performed. Oil Change, Brake Fluid Flush, Coolant Flush, New Belt, New Plugs, New Plug Wires. Otherwise nothing new for MOTD this year...

    Well I'd like to get new wheels and tires before then, but that also means putting the new Swift springs on too. We are officially moving Monday morning and have lots of unpacking and stuff to get finished before the dragon so it might have to wait until we get back :-(

    We'll see what happens......

    Full paint detail. I've clayed, machine polished, sealed and now finishing up with black wow. Dark Helmet's exterior is ready. Now for the other bits that need installed.
