    What do you want to achieve in the company of your 2wheeled freedom machine?

    Learn a new skill, perfect a technique, try out some track time or travel abroad?

    Tell us your hopes for the coming warm(ish) weather and what you would like to have acomplished by the end of it.

    For starters:

    This year I'm going to nail stopping on cambered roads, brush up on slow speed wheelies and hopefully get in a little track time too (money permitting).

    To do more track days and become a little quicker.

    Also to get back to doing wheelies & knee-down hooliganism (I stopped riding like that years ago and now can't seem to get back into it).

    To do more miles on the bike. Got lazy last year and used the car more than I should have. Sold that car and bought something a lot more basic to fund the new bike. This year's going to be a good 'un! Have 2 trips away booked already and I look forward to making more meets!

    Last year i crossed off a couple of good ones...
    • 1st Channel tunnel crossing
    • New Bike
    • riding to Switzerland and back
    • Camping at Brands
    This year.... :think1:
    • Got to do a track day
    • Another drunken camping thingy, with a bunch of horse thieves and reprobates
    • Another proper bike holiday would be nice
    • possibly a new skill, learning how to get home on 1 wheel should the front fall of :D
