So what plans you got for the winter. I’m getting the Daytona ready to race next year. Forks and shock away for upgrading. And thinking about upgrading my rd350 ypvs hybrids suspension too

Normally ride six days a week but when it gets to 2c I jump in the car. As I normally travel in the early hours till late evening.

BUT

Always try to get in a hour or two on each bike per weekend, if the weather holds up.

Gives you the choice to go back to standard or change it if you decide you dont like it. £100 for the vinyl and wrap it yoursef

Keep riding for as long as possible, until slipping on every twist and turn then will be the tin can till the weather is better, Mot next week, change clutch put braided hoses on and sprocket and chains, tidy up bodywork and will be good to go again.

For me it’s a big engine strip down and reblue printing / replacing worn components ready for next year race / track day season

Been out on the XJR today, a really nice ride. This evening I've been getting my Beta X Trainer ready for some off road fun on Salisbury Plain this Sunday.

I've just changed bike and it's well crisp in the morning. I don't mind the cold and even wet but first sign of ice and it's staying chained up in the garage.
