So what have you lot got planned for this year?
I'll start - I've got the Taffy Dakar in April with Master Fitchett and Miss Stalford of this parish. I *plan* to do at least one small tour on the GS before the arrival of second born at the end of June.
By small, I mean a short weekend up in the lakes or something (somewhere i've never been).
I *still* haven't used the GS for anything other than getting to and from work yet which is starting to bug me somewhat... I could even be persuaded to take it to a track day I reckon :shocked:
The usual end of April trip to join our Scottish brethren, I'm booked for the TT although that may change, the odd trip here and there for race meets and possibly a couple bike fests.. not sure I'll get to Europe on it again this year but we shall see and the next version of the FightR should make a few appearances..
Get one.
Didn't touch either bike last year with work on the house so intense.
Will deffo be using the Buell this year.
The opportunity to buy a really nice 888sp may rear its head..... the question then is to keep the MV or not......
May also look at a cheap tourer as Anna really enjoys being on the back of the scooters we hire when on hol's, and I'm convinced she'll enjoy being on the back of a comfy bike
Hopefully honcho'ing one charity track day at work. Hoping someone might lend me a bike to ride at that event.
Hoping to do a couple of BSB weekends with my old team and make tea for the Smrz brothers.
Otherwise, nothing.
Memorial Rideout
Off Road in Wales on April
Ireland in May
Pyrenees on September
And many many many rides in between...North Coast 500...Dickie Bow run...Galloway...the borders...Fort William /Ullapool.
All good.

Try it on one of your trackbikes ;)
fingers crossed scotland in april, bit 50/50 at the moment
le man motogp in may with missus pillion
hoping to also do a track day on the 899
Trip to Scotchland at end of April
Alps trip in June
Couple of trackdays in August, maybe a few more
Maybe go somewhere with 'er indoors on the back
Maybe wash it?
Scotland in April.
Plenty of rideouts.
France in August with Steff again.
Hopefully a Euro trip with a few others but that will be subject to invites and who's doing what etc.
TaffY Dakar in April and if I can swing it trail biking weekend in Spain in October but that will take all my accumulated brownie points and probably some sort of domestic slavery arrangement for the next 5 years.
Other than that, ride some trails, ride some trials and get the kids on the PW and TY.
Oh and finish the CBR125 streetfighter and get it MOT'd.
Might give the Memorial Rideout a go. :tongue:
12 day trip for the Brno GP in August.
No doubt a few runs round the Scottish Borders and hopefully a few overnights on the SX. Lakes, Highlands, West coast.
Atlantic way tour of southern Ireland on the new beast
few shows hopefully
lots of smaller trips with maybe one or two overnighters!
Memorial run in April
Boarders run in Sept
At least 2 European MotoGP rounds (Valencia booked)
Silverstone MotoGP
I hope to get a few weekends away on the bike in the lakes, boarders, Scotland and anywhere our fancy takes us
Just generally enjoy the new bike and to make the most of that and my licence :)
Have done a very wet Cartagena to start the year off!!
Estoril is booked for may.
Hope to:
Get a few trackdays in the uk through the year
Maybe another endurance round or two!
Back on the lanes with the KTM, doing the Wessex wanderer in May for a start
Get the Honda through MOT and back on the road
If I manage that I will be happy.
Have thought about doing the Wanderer myself as it's local but it's also the wife's birthday so discretion is the better part of valour.

i was there too... thankfully the 2nd and 4th days kinda made up for day one... (if only we booked the 3 day event directly after.. 3 days of good weather) .. .first day we didn't get out.. 2nd day was good but my bike ran like sh*t.. day 3 changed spark plugs..bike fixed :moto: .. day 4 was excellent (how cartagena should be)
aragon in may
portimao in september
alcarras in october
(tempted by folembray august bank holiday, just for the crack)
the 'new' pembrey has got to be worth a weekend away
a few uk trackdays here and there (ie as many as i can get away with)
Saw the new Pembrey from 1000' above the other day - looks great.
Show off :tongue:
My plans are to get at least one track day done, try and make it to the memorial ride and get a project bike to keep me busy.

I'll ride up with ya if you do.
P.S. The can has a baffle in it now. :wink:
That's the only thing I have planned so far. I don't really do much, bikewise, in this 'ere Londinium. :embarrassed:
DGR in September as usual is pretty much the only event thing I have planned
Will also hopefully (but likely not) try and finish the AR project
Ride to work, ride home, ride to work, ride home, repeat about 200 times.
Try not to get to carried away and throw it at the scenery again :moto:

I was there as well in the garage with Simon Crafar next to Matt.
I booked Simon for tuition as well. Fair play to him he did his upmost to get out and make it worth while.
I've booked Brno in June
Slovakia Ring in September.
Looking to do Snett or Silverstone April/May and one more Euro to finish the year off.

You can use the ZX10RR fella, I'll be over for the day - quick cycle around the new layout ;-)
Love you x
We might need a bit of pace to evaluate the new circuit. Shall I pencil you in?

Not sure which Steve but Shaun and Julia the eurotrax owners run a very very relaxed gig.
Theres a handful of us going to the August Bank holiday one so if your there keep an eye out for the MSS ZX10RR in the fast group and come have a cupppa :-)
Meant shaun case :rofl:.. although looking at my calender its looking unlikely though :cry:
