Default Winter plans?

Time to start thinking about those winter plans.

So what’s on your plate?

Last winter saw a lot of work done for me so this winter I’m keeping it simple:

1. Brake service/cleaning including replacing caliper seals.
2. Go back to 17/40 gearing (currently 16/40).
3. LED’s for plate light integrated into tail light lens.
4. Refinish swingarm.
5. Prep second set of wheels for commuter use (BT-020’s ?)
6. Clean it with a toothbrush (er… clean the nitty gritty stuff).
7. Fresh set of plugs.

i will probably keep riding the street bike, but the toothbrush cleaning sounds good...

track bike #1 (red 96 zx6r) will be winterized properly to be sold in the spring...

track bike #2 (01 blue zx6r) will probbaly be ridden once in a while, but id like to find a bolt on exhaust and put on stainless lines... Will look for a cheap set of track plastics as well..

non bike related will be to clean up the house (yeah right), schoolwork and snowboarding...
