Your 2015 Bikey plans

[Tim85]

And go to more northern monkey meets. I only got to two this year but both were good fun.

[Stu R]

Explore more of America, road trips to Colorado and the pacific north west. That's about it.

[black-k1]

Big event of the year is 18 of us doing the Picos, the Pyrenees and back up through France. www.old-gits.org/thenexttrip

Also doing a long weekend with some mates and their kids visiting the D-Day site in Normandy in July.

Touring Southern France but a few of us will be taking the 2 strokes down this time...

I reckon the LC or YamaGamma will be perfect around the coastal roads the South offers, the N85 would be a great test of the LCs brakes too.. at the end of the day, I have this vision of parking the LC up in Monaco harbour and sitting in a cafe taking in all the sights and sounds..

Thats the plan thus far anyway..

I purchased a track bike needing a bit of work

It's nearly ready after redoing brakes, lines, servicing, sprockets and chain

Just fitted a dash as well and painted bike in the garage

So plan is trackdays yay

Make sure you ride the D955, The LC would be right at home there.

1) Small 12 x 10ft workshop to store bike(s) to be erected.
2) Motocross experience day.
3) Valve clearances and balance carbs.
4) At least one trackday with MTB.

I'd do more but we've a baby due in July. No new bike for me this year. Again.

First thing on the agenda is to test ride a few new bikes before ultimately buying one.
The short list is Multistrada, Super Adventure & S1000XR but I'm sure other options will come along.

The first bikey holiday on the new machine will be Snowdonia in July for a few days.
Then we are taking the Ferry to Bilbao in September for 2 weeks touring Spain.

[TimmyWimmyWoo]

The girlfriend has agreed to try a two-week tour of Europe on a bike, so I need to* ditch the Blackbird and get something more suitable** for touring.

• Clean Blackbird/sell Blackbird.
• Test ride Multistrada with girlfriend on the back
• Hopefully pick up a cheap(er) 2013/4 Multistrada (Skyhook one) before the new one comes out in June
• Fit top box
• Fit full Termi system
• Weep at debt
• Go touring – once with the girlfriend and probably another 10-day trip with my bikey friends.

* I realise I could do all of this on a Blackbird, but that's not the point… I've had it nearly two years so it needs to go!

** I realise the Multi is probably just as good at touring as the Blackbird… but again, that's not really the point!

Get Monster serviced, MOTed and sold in the spring - it's spent far too much of this year languishing in the garage.

Look to get something else in the autumn once I know how much I have after buying a house.

[Alex@POD]

I plan to buy a bike in the next 4-6 weeks, then start commuting on it every day. I might try to to a trip to France later in the year, depending on what I end up with. Apart from that, not a lot! I'd love to do track days but I just don't have the budget... I'm sure I'll attend a couple of rounds of the BSB too, maybe even an endurance race somewhere.

[Gypsum Fantastic]

Theory test today, then get the DAS done reasonably soon. Trade the 125 in for a big boy bike and see where that leads me!

Your LC will be right at home in Monaco. Riding around Monaco, parking on the harbour wall and then chilling in the cafe opposite was probably my most memorable day on a bike.

Oh mate you never said. That's cracking news you must be well happy. Congratulations on your new workshop.

[Baryonyx]

Plans?

Buy an SV650S:




Keep the CG125 chugging along until the Suzuki is in the bag, and then sell it.

[George29]

My plan is to do less trackdays, and more racing. Especially looking forward to racing at Oulton for the first time in April.

Brilliant.

20 days of renovation for my new apartment begins tomorrow. The best part is that it comes with a private lock-up garage which I had no idea about! There are 130-odd apartments in this compound and only 10 of these garages so landing one without realising they even existed is incredibly jammy. The space looks like it can hold about 8 bikes with space for tools & storage, a work area and a couple of seats. Being in the middle of a city with a little cave like this is about perfect as it gets for me, can't bloody wait for it to warm up so I get some bikes in there

[IanUAE]

Aim to ride more track days this year, which started well as I did the GP circuit at the Dubai Autodrome today. Help the team win the Qater Supersport championship.
