    Same here...recovering from reconstructive knee surgery and hoping to be ready to go at the start of next season. So I figured I should do something to make myself feel better. Solution? Sold my '05 SV1000S, the bike that got me started on the track, and am picking up a track/race prepped Triumph 675 next week. Funny, I hardly feel that pain in my knee anymore.... :lmao:

    Well that should be motivation to get you through therapy! So tempting after reading about all the cool stuff they do to set up these bikes...

    Only an oil change and new belts for my bike before spring. Got new soles for my Sidi's for Christmas. Just need to find a good cobbler to slap them on.

    I also picked up a tire changer before Christmas. I need to practice up, so I can be handy with it come spring.

    Hmmmmm off season.... Not sure that is a proper statement.

    Freshening up bikes, assembling SV650, working, building some 675R's, shoulder re-hab for 19 more weeks, planning some early 2013 road trips, need to head south and slay some HOGS in Ga., training an 8 year old on the ice with his klx110.

    Somehow its just part of the cycle of motorcycling, not really down time.
