I think it's Time To Let Go

I've had the X since new.
Always been maintained to ~my standards~.

Been hemming and hawing at replacing it for the last couple of years. Just have not found anything yet - dumped all that money into RE, which has been worth the investment to do....

As I was mulling the spring to do list, I'm just not motivated to keep it running like a champ. If I posted some of the stuff I spend on it....many would just go bonkers.

Just ordered some trim last week just because it was not perfect to my ~golden eyes~. Chasing a small oil leak, that I suspect is the valve cover itself. My powder coating guy has increased his rate 2fold, but he still deserves it, as his work is that good...

And then it becomes one of those....well, since you're in there doing the VC, might as well attack the WP and stat, etc, etc. I know myself well enough that I can't leave well enough alone and will dive in to touch it all. VP has been touched 2X already. If I'm doing spring maint., I will probably ProActively change all 4 Brake Flex lines....on the Brembo BBK. 3 lines have burst in me , so every 2 years or so, I've learned to be cautious and replace them all.

Gave her some new mirror covers this fall just cause the X wanted it.
Entire front upholstery was replaced/redyed and it's fresh as it can get. Nice textured leather. I must have replaced the steering wheel on this thing 3X....when the leather on the M tri stitch goes smooth, rip and replace.

As a owner, I'm really discouraged about my top d0lla custom headlights for sure. I w1LL never ever entertain such a mod again. Just thinking about get me unravled.

Last Sunday, I finally went to the garage to scour to unpile the underride bar. Either it will get installed or the golden unicorn is upforsale.

I think the love affair is done gents. Still nothing that interest me, so possibly I'll just find a 18 months or so swapalease just to placate until something catches the eye
