It's that time of year ...

That I start looking at wrapping the bike and getting the essentials done. Given the recent change in the weather I think come the end of the month the bike will be up on stands getting the annual maintenance done. Going to strip of the fairings and change oil, air filters etc. Also may add some braided brake hoses while everything's off. Also got plans for some new levers, carbon cover the fairing fins and the seat cowl and maybe a new tank insert. We'll see

The old Honda might be going ( too heavy to pick up if i ever dropped it ) might be getting a 250 supermoto for the worse months.

I'm off friday and monday so i'm hoping to get a few miles on the bike this weekend , was hoping to pop to devon however it all depends on the weather and money situation (been a effing expensive month and we are only 2 days into it).
so it may be pottering about a bit more localish.

I was debating doing the Cauld Arse Rally this year at the end of October, but might be a bit warm for me

May just keep the bike inside and look to do a bit more next year once Uni is done and dusted
