so with the short days looming round the corner. what have those who don't use there bikes all year round got planed.
I still want to do some engine work to eak out a few more ponies. not that I think the bike needs them, Just nice to have.
Any one painting there frame or just sprinkling some carbon bling.

Bob is now officially off the road and once we come back from Spain I plan to try and take off the bits I can and give him a thorough cleaning and inspection.

If I get chance I am planning to get all bodywork painted up and fit some of the extras that I have here that have not made it onto the bike yet.

Other than that as we now have fun road bikes I reckon I will be out riding

I've got to put a new crank into my 350 racer
The timing side gear came off and chewed up the end.

As you know Keith - the R carries on through the winter months but I do intend to get it on the lift and give it its annual clean very soon!

Looks like some exposed nuts and bolts will need replacing as well as three winters use hasn't been kind to the old girl

Yea I know what the winter can do to a bike Dave.
I am still out on it at the mo. But as soon as the salt goes down.
the bike is coming in

Thinking of having an engine refresh - just not decided who to take my beloved to yet

I really want to get my frame painted, and also my swingarm. Only trouble is that I also NEED some radial brakes for my bike too! Decisions decisions....
Oh, need to get some money together first !
