"Off-season" right now here for me... ;-(

Hello Buddies,

my personal  bike-season has endet now, leafs are falling, roads were leaf-muddy, wet and colder, my limited licence ends on 32.oct., so "wintertime" for me.
But it ends with a little grin. I´ve dug deep in my pocket, and bought an acceptable 4-2 exhaust system for my Z1000A1, few points better than my old silencers, have it installed yesterday ;-)

So, my bikes will be conservated, oiled and storaged for the next 4 month, to fall in sleep like Cinderellas....;-)

Have ya all a good and healthy "off-season", if you where in the northern hemisphare,... the ones who are in the southern area of the planet: Enjoy your ridings, i am jealous ;-) !!!!

At least you can still sit on it in storage and go "BRRRRRMMMMM" and "VROOM VROOM" and pretend you're a MotoGP rider. I will NOT be doing that AT ALL! I swear...

I actually have a lot of plans for my bike this winter so she won't be too lonely although I will be doing some "surgery" on her.

Hi Craig,( bound)

....You can be sure that I’ll have plenty of tinkering to do as well—at least whenever it’s feasible in my unheated garage—though I’ve already managed to get most of it done over the last 8 weeks. The painted parts for my A2 are already with the paint shop, so the remaining work should be fairly limited... but then again, who knows what kind of ideas might suddenly pop into my head? I’m never quite safe from myself in that regard!
