Want to make sure that the new bike is run in before it gets to the 2021 season. So will look for the days that are not wet and try to rack up enough miles to get it through its first service so that I can fully enjoy and have fun come March 2021

Will (tidy a bit) and sell my old xj600 winter bike as no longer going to work. Put my ccm604 back on the road - especially good if it's snowing. Service and put away Z1000 just before salt goes on the roads so got at least 2 months left.
Build a lean-to on back of garage to put the garden stuff and pushbikes in.
Oh - and start looking for a ktm790.

CB550 project starts in earnest, stripping down, finding specialists for engine work etc.

Looking forward to using the trail bike more. Did a great day with https://rotoradventures.com this week, I can recommend Stan and Ivan to help improve handling skills and guiding around Dorset and Devon.
