What now?

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

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?
