So, what do you have in store for 2005? Summer is nearly here, what are you doing bike wise?

Me.. non-stop "stunt practice", video making and track days.

I have wheelied my KTM till it broke and will do the same once it's fixed, I don't care how much it costs it's just so much fun Thumbs Up already need a new rear tyre + new chain and sprockets just from doing wheelies Laughing

Track days I can't really do until I pass my car test, but I hope to get a load in before 2006 and maybe go racing in 06... who knows Shocked

You??

Pratice the so called 'stunts' and i'm also planning a tour of england, scotland and wales in about July'ish time. Going round just to vist family and various friends who are scattered out all over the place. Should be a laugh and a good experience before i go off to uni. So if anyone will stick me up for the night for no cost i'll be quite happy Very Happy

Pass test, get on the XJ600, get to some track days, maybe to take part, but probably just to take pics until I get some experience in.

Bodge the MZ through an MOT.

Lovely stuff.

Adobe Premier 6.5 although it's a pain in the proverbial, often crashes and is generally a bitch to use. Want another piece of software that I was reccomended instead but it's fucking expensive Shocked

My next video is going to be really cool Wink

Just for a bit of a teaser Razz

Arrow Helmet cam off road footage Mr. Green
Arrow more wheelies
Arrow finally some other stunts Razz like stoppies and stuff
Arrow something comical involving a pushbike and some leathers hehe

Get my license back. Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green

Waiting for my solicitors to send me the bit of paper which I then send to the DVLA to be given it back. I shouldn't be given it back until 4th April but they're not interested in that (I've checked this with lots of doctors and I shouldn't have it back until 4th April after doing some tests) but the DVLA aren't interested in that, they're interested in their own (incorrect) diagnosis and I have tried to tell them. Soon as I get the bit of paper I can send it to the DVLA, if I'd had the bit of paper a few months ago I'd have been able to get it back then. Rolling Eyes

Something sensible to start with and then after being back on the roads for a bit something along the lines of a R6 as a shiney fair weather toy.

Going to be learning to drive and the bike is just going to be a good weather toy.

Can't wait to get back on the roads though. Dance! Dance! Dance!

Get a Youth Hosteling card as it's quite cheap and there's a Youth Hostel located next to the water side at Loch Ness. Fill up with fuel Fort William as it's cheap there and plenty of shops in that small town too.

There's a bike mechanic/dealer on Isle of Sky and the bridge is free to cross now. Don't worry there's a supermarket, a few gift shops, resteraunts and hotels, B&Bs and Youth Hostel. There's a cheap petrol station found next to the supermarket.

Watch out for unmarked Police superbikes and a Police helicopter flying about up North also to trap speeding motorcyclists or drivers.

Lots of rallies, lots of rideouts, lots of camping. Put some miles on the bugger. Get the T500 running (maybe take it on a rideout to show people what a 30 year old 2-stroke can still do?) Tour the lakes on my H100.

Have a silly idea about doing the furthest North, South, East and West rallies in the country. May not be possible. I haven't found out what the furthest East rally is yet...Any ideas? (see attached map).

I am starting this weekend by going to the Dragon Rally in North Wales. Leave on Friday morning Very Happy

Hi

Do another track day or 2.
More practice at taking pictures of bikes.
Sort out Charlottes Cagiva Freccia.
Put some serious effort into sorting the Vincent out.
Make sure I take the Bandit to Elvington a few times for a play.

All the best

Keith

Rallies, rallies, more rallies, shows, meets, parties, rideouts...... Very Happy

We are also looking to possibly tour Scotland this year. We have from 14th May to 23rd May free to take some holidays. At the moment it's a toss-up between a package to Majorca or a ride up to Scotland.

Oh, and did I mention I'll be going to some rallies........ Razz !
