Going to finish the zx10r's exhaust, then start on the tl1000r when I can finally figure out what direction to go in

May make a extended ally fuel tank for the zx10r aswell if can make time between proper work

Batteries are already on the Kitchen window cill on charge and track bikes have Antifreeze in them.

MV only needs the once-over and a clean as only did 400 miles on it this year.

YZF needs carburetion sorting but still waiting for Mark Hanna to be available.

And the Blade needs to go to Mark as well to check the map but for some reason I can’t read from the PC3 so can’t change the shifter kill time either at the moment.

Also planned:
Samco to go on but may now wait till spring when I drain the antifreeze back out.
Ohlins to MTC for service and re-spring
Fix TPS
Look for an alternative steering damper
Lock wire sump plug
Drop forks to 14mm
Get captive wheel spacers made for all 3 sets of wheels
Get spare clutch reservoir, clocks, Harris rear sub frame and matching CRC seat unit
Look out for another set of Galfer discs
Get Acumen to work above 3rd
Refit Sigma slipper clutch
Weld fractured heal plates
Change 1 set of front disc bolts.
Fairings are being repaired and sprayed to match at the monument.
And a dam good clean after a very wet Silverstone

hmmmm the CBF.... well simples ... ride it

Keep on riding it when I get the time.

Just dropped, some bits off for Powder Coating, other than that just service the forks on the trackbike.

Hmmm, repair the damage I did to the trackbike at Pembrey,
I've managed to pick up an ohlins shock which needs a new spring.
I've also got an alternator blanking plate so I'm going to run total loss next year, and I have to remove all the unwanted wiring from the loom.
I also managed to get hold of a Harris clock mounting bracket, but still have to find a tacho and temp gauge that I like the look of.
I'm thinking of fitting Samco hoses, and I want a thermostat from a 7rr, because it opens at a lower temperature than the standard 7r 'stat.

oh, and I want a road bike, had to sell the srad in the summer, so I'm looking for something cheap and cheerful to knock about on, maybe an old gpz or an sv650.

MV - still needs to get to the Dyno to finish off the bottom end fuelling, also tweak the exhaust link pipes then generally give it a good clean and tuck it up in something warm and comfy til it's safe to come out again ....
TL - Sort out the cans & water pump seal, and maybe a few little smarten-up bit's here & there .......

Meanwhile looking forward to a long spell of cold white snowy stuff they keep promising for having fun with the Disco

Keep riding mine until the garden path gets too frozen to get the bike out of the garden!

And hopefully over Christmas sort a weeping fork seal and take the carbs off and sort this low rev fuelling issue, possibly $:-\$ .......

Same except I really need to remember to add antifreeze. I've got as far as putting on some tyres that are supposed to have enough tread for the rain but I don't like them as much as my old ones.

Need to sort a few loose bits too.
