this is Mayuki. and this is as perfect as a boat can get. i took her out of the water 6 days ago. sent her to the beauty salon, got her a facial, a nice massage, a pedicure, and now she’s looking like more then the queen she already was.

i’ll say this over and over because this is very important to me. if you love something, take care of her. because if you take care of her, she will take care of you.

have you ever walked down a street and seen the most beautiful thing you ever saw? you probably seen Mayuki. haha. i was towing her back to the harbor yesterday and everybody was checking her out. even i was checking her out in my mirror.

then drove to kailua to drop off the trailer my friend let me borrow. i backed it in perfectly.

then as i took the H-3 to come back to town, i felt a huge relief all of a sudden. this was such a huge project for me. the planning, the people involved, the time, the sweat, the money, and the tears. it felt so satisfying and couldn’t be a happier man. can’t wait to ride my baby!
