Your biking plans for 2017

Chojin · January 22, 2017, 08:08:19 AM

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

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.

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.
