What are you planning for when the weather actually turns warm?

I've got lots to do outside and it's too damn cold right now (change the cambelt on my van, repair some drains and sort the workshop out).

I also need a week or two down at The Lizard in Cornwall to see family and enjoy the place. It's lovely there all year round, but a bit of sun makes it even better.

Patios need pressure washing. Summerhouse needs a damned good clean. Garage needs sorting out. I need to stop wearing a fleece 24/7.

Then I can sit in the garden in the sunshine and drink too much. As opposed to sitting inside and drinking too much. Wearing a fleece.

Ooooh - Cornwall sounds fab!

I will be taking my boy for a bike ride on his rather ace new GT bike - not even been able to take it out of the garage yet ... :(

Hope you haven't got a big patio Alex. Last time I did mine the water bill doubled for that quarter! I just use a patio cleaner and a stiff brush. Hard work though doing the block paved driveway and patio.

You got it Alex ;)

Few years old now but its had over 150bhp at the wheel when it was dyno'd a couple of years ago and its only done couple of 1000 since.

The bike to the left is a Honda Bros 400 thats Annette's

The one at the back is my FS1e. I need to pop the engine back in it after yet another rebuild!!!!! You'd have thought I'd learnt my lesson 1st time round in the 80's!!! :lol:

I was struggling with the single-sided swingarm, but the Bros makes sense now.

I was fairly sure it was a Fizzy, but the colours didn't look familiar and I thought I'd offend you if it was a 250 Ducati or something!

Lovely collection - my ZX6-R (owned since new 15 years ago, and still looks it) is sadly underused, but I just love bikes. :)
