What now?

[gg3]

I sold the 02 300 yesterday,very sad,but it never hit me until I walked into the garage this morning & saw the empty bike stand ,alone by the tool chest.
The new bike delivery has been delayed until the end of April,so as I stood in the garage having a boo hoo,the question is -what do I do for 2 months?
My riding mates suggested get fit & lay off the pies(as they drove off for a ride).mountain biking would be a good move? Re-organise the tools?Even considered talking to the wife more.I need help!

2 months.... no loaner program from one of your buddies ????
All of you other thoughts are good too, but that is a long time without a bike. imho..

what are you getting btw ??

I never feel comfortable on someone elses bike,spend too much time thinking about not crashing it,and of course,you crash.
2010 ec300 e-start.Whats the general opinion on run in?It's the first(probably last) new bike I have owned.

gg3 I feel your pain sold mine a month ago and waiting for a new 300 too, had to resort to riding mtn bike for now which is fine for the flat bits

 

[gg3]

mtb is now dusted off & tyres pumped.This is gonna hurt!
A trials bike would be the ultimate,but I know how that conversation will end with the account!
Skidad-I'm clocking up family time points like never before,even volunteered for school camp duties.
Gasgasnz-What did you order? I was told the non e-start ec,ISDE & race models landed here 2 weeks ago?

ordered a 300 e-start too, hope your right about end of april deliver?? had to resort to the mountain bike today, hurts alright but hoping its helps my fitness and balance a little? trying to learn to do wheelies on it which must help the balance bit but how do sum make things like that look so easy? I'm struggling but hey I'm 49 so probably stuipd for even trying
