I’ll get a borders meet or something posted in Spring big man.

I'm up for a meet up too. Barely do any road riding these days and need to make an effort to do more.

My goal for 2019 is to have more fun on bikes. Current plan is to get a van to give me more options for off road stuff, whether that be track days, supermoto or pit bikes.

Thinking of emigrating so that could take priority over any biking plans. Otherwise:

- stop buying and selling so many bikes
- don’t crash (failed that in 2018)
- keep riding

Where to?

Ride my GasGas trials bike more.
Ride my KTM 300 exc more.
Prepare my track day bikes for me and two sons and do some track days together.
Put plenty of miles on BMW GS and enter twisty sprint again.
Ride Harley Ultra to Portugal in June.
Improve speed on Hayabusa Turbo. 203mph in 2017, 211mph in 2018 so hoping for 220mph in 2019.

Early retirement beckons for me next year so hopefully loads of bike stuff

I have a few on going projects,rebuilding my 350 will be first

I will be at the TT and helping out at the Southern 100 and Manx gp

Couple of Euro tours tied in with a foreign Gp or road race event

Few trackdays

Get out on the Gas Gas a bit more

Sort out some of my sheds and sell some of the gear I have but will never use

[MagnaJeep]

Mainly find more time to ride, but generally I could post the exact same text as last year:

Take one of the more modern bikes for a short tour around the alps as I live next to them
Refurb a Buell
Finish my solo Ural
Get registration for an Ural sidecar x2
Sell one sidecar

Not buy another bike as ran out of garage, but fancy some kind of R1

[Hungrymc]

2019 will be all about trying to get the miles in for me. I did far more in 2018 than most of the last 6 or 7 years.

Have enjoyed every ride on the S1000RR since I got it.
And getting an off roader has been so different, it’s like learning to ride again but is fabulous fun.

Lots of trips on both is the plan.

Actually ride my bike, is the goal for 2019. Had it MOT'd in November, 2 months after is was due The mileage between the previous MOT was 54 miles. The MOT test station was 5 miles away!

New Zealand

Just getting more miles in. I’ve only stuck about 1k miles on the K1300r since I bought it, so haven’t really settled in with it yet.
And I want to get out in the grotty weather to keep my skills up, I didn’t turn a wet wheel in 2018.

Only other goal is modest.. I live in Reading, I want to do a road trip to see family in Swansea (without touching the M4) and then head north into the Snowdonia National Park for a day.

Well, I'm currently having an extension built which will mean I'll finally have a garage. Then the bike can stay at my house, rather than being garages with a nearby relative. It's rather been the case that whilst the bike is garages away from home I've had far less inclination to ride it and naturally rarely bothered using it for work. I know once it's literally a case of rolling up the garage door and riding off, I'll use it more.

1. Get my R1 on track at least twice in 2019 - first trackday is booked for March, last one was over 10 years ago!

2. Do the Old Gits trip to the Dolomite's at the beginning of June on my K1300S.

3. Persuade my brother to get a bike so we can go out on Sunday rides - his last bike must have been sold over 10 years ago.

[MrsMiggins]

1. sell the GSXR1000
2. road trip to Europe. thinking ship bike to Italy then ride to croatia as i can't be arsed with riding from Newcastle to European mainland
3. couple of camping weekends in Scotland
4. maybe another europe trip in late summer / early autumn
5. start the long delayed tidy up of my much neglected TL1000S in the winter

Now looking for a GS babyseat

[George29]

- try and do more races than this year. Ideally get some trophies from them
- couple of Euro track days
- buy a new S1000RR at the end of the year

[WaferThinHam]

Buy a house with a garage.
Put Bike in garage.
Ride bike.

Nothing too ambitious then!

[BigGingerBob]

It's become a slight obsession, this whole motorcycling lark.
Booked my theory test for mid Jan. 10 and a quarter years since passing my driving test, I have no idea what to expect!
So at least one of my 2019 bikey goals is 1 step closer.
