    I thought it would be interesting to start a discussion about your biker goals for the year ahead.

    Mine
    1. Visit the Triumph museum in Hinckley
    2. Do an overnight trip with some mates
    3. Stop talking about it and Finally buy either a Ducati 888 or 916 (the missus has now rubber stamped it)
    4. Do some advanced training
    5. Try and ride at least 3000 miles. (Last year was pitiful)

    1. Do the miles / trips I did last year, ( booked a couple and planned a couple).
    2. Get the Suzuki GS750 MOTed at least, ( end cans, throttle spring,tyres, thorough going over end to end).
    3. Buy Panniers+Rails + Seat Cowl, (and no more).
    4. Stay upright, ( always a good idea).
    5. Get to more Events, ( always room for a few more).

    I like number 5, my lack of miles mean that my wrists ache after about 20 miles, 5 years ago when I used to do around 8000 miles a year I never noticed that as a problem.

    Hmmm. Guess going back in time would be the best option anyway. Bit like Dagenham, wouldn't want to visit there nowadays.....

    Think I'll do the same as Stinger except maybe the track day. I'll use that option to get a time machine and shag Bridget Bardot, as Raquel will be getting rather pissed off by now with hairy bikers appearing out of nowhere and knobbing her.

    "Oh no, not again" I suspect she thinks. Hoping that the next one will at least have had a bath first...

    In no particular order of merit or priority

    1. Ride one
    2. Clean two
    3. Ride a different one
    4. Clean another two
    5. Meet some forum people

    All of these anticipated activities are wholly dependent on completion of the seemingly endless building and decorating works at the house ....... <SIGH>

    This reminds me of work, where we had to write our goals and objectives for the upcoming year (hated doing it), and "avoid getting fired" & "get a pay rise" weren't considered acceptable.

    1. I'd like to do the Classic TT again (watch, not take part). Went in 2017 and the whole trip was brilliant.
    2. Explore Dumfries & Galloway on bike (know it well, great roads, but never been on bike 'cause family always insist on coming along too).
    3. Go to summer evening bike shows - there are a couple I've been to before, but seem to have arranged to be away the last few years.
    4. Spend more time doing it rather than thinking about doing it, and hopefully rack up at least 5000 miles.
    5. Meet up with old school friend for our annual bike adventure (missed last year).
    5b. Go to BSB race.

    Well here's mine;
    1. Take part in road racing as a clubman (this is gonna happen :grinning:)
    2. Try not to crash while doing #1.:eek:
    3. When #2. is achieved try and score some points:D
    4. Learn to do more of my own maintenance but hopefully not as a result of failing at #2.o_O
    5. Meet some other forum members whilst doing #1.:cool:

    Survive the year without the Wasp falling on my foot. I’ve got several trips this year including Norway and I don’t want to be a numpty again.

    Nothing much else really
