VFR800 - cover it in ACF50 and ride through another winter, except snow and ice days.

Speed Triple - on the trickle charger, occasional Sunday blast

ZX7R - replace its holed petrol tank with a replacement I sourced from eBay ages ago. Bike has stood for 18 months not being turned over (yeah, I know) so could be some recommissioning work required.

Speed triple (Bloor Special edition), bought cheap from dealer last year, he had taken it in in PX with light drop to right hand side so scuffed engine cases, rad cover, mirror and bar end. All parts now sourced so winter project to do this work, replace the handlebars (Rizoma bought just incase damaged by drop), fit carbon belly pan and give it a service.
Honda CB1300, Renthal bars to be fitted and heated grips for winter commuting! (I know its big but I find it a lazy, comfortable, stable plodder when needed and I am 6'4")
Mrs P's Street Triple to be services and heated grips fitted.
All three bikes already cleaned and ACF 50'd. I figure even if stored in garage it will help keep the condensation away.

Get my Speed Triple out of storage, give it a service/new tyres, get it an MOT and get out on it on any dry days through the winter.

Hopefully pick up a KTM 450 or something similar for some greenlaning.

If funds allow, see what this new 959 is like and maybe get an order in.

Organise the Old Gits 2016 trip to Northern Spain. (27 people on the trip and 2 hotels to book)

Buy a new K1300S and sell my current K1300S.

Clean up my 1984 R100CS ready to put some miles on it next summer.

Order a new set of BKS leathers.

Finally, help my eldest son get his SS50 ready for his 16th birthday.

I had some KR1S pipes blasted in prep for paint for the KR1 but I found out last week they need some welding...







Once I have them welded/painted, ill be fitting them to the KR1 , having the carbs overhauled and getting that set up on a dyno.
just had the repaired KR1S pipes returned, the chap metal sprayed them for a smoother, better quality repair.

Some difference...

Booking my Direct Access for the start of March, never did get round to doing my CBT so I'll hopefully be able to do one of those week long thingys. The plan for afterwards is save for a bike, and not self terminate after :-D
