My prep for the 2013 Season
Well I have already started getting ready for next season

The old van has gone and has been replaced by a XLWB newer version
I have started on insulating the roof and worked out where the partition is going to go so that I can have a garage section at the back and a living section in the middle
New Folding Ramp arrived today, a new bike grab arrived a few days ago from Spence's old sponsors kneedown.co.uk, so thats the loading and holding of the bikes sorted.
Awning is fitted on the roof.
Still lots to do to the van, such as removing the Bulkhead and fitting a Captains seat in place of the passenger dual seat

And once thats all done I can turn my attention to my bike

Premature again

I still need to sort out the Snetterton Crash damage properly, at least I've had the mastercylinder repaired, but that needs to be fitted along with new bars

Would Ideally like to get hold of a spare 900SS ie style half fairing, I wonder if Brummy Dave would notice if I pinched his

sorry to disappoint you but community service canceled this weekend again so no acorns- *******s have put me back behind schedule by 50hrs now (1/4 of my total time)- totally inefficient- it's ok for them to do that, but if i do it i'm back at the crown- hypocrites!!

They know what's coming so next time they will be issuing you all with Snow shovels
Or maybe you could chop firewood for old couples to keep them warm over the winter

Thats what I would call more off season prep work
