No it will be a good year. Earn more money, own one bikes and take better care of them.

I have spent more money on bits to service and improve my main bike this year than I have on anything for me.

Things will get a lot better before they get worse again!

Fantastic year so far, been on the bike a couple of times.

Just need to get some new Tyres an oil change and take those all unimportant restrictors out. Twisted Evil

Got the trackday in June. Can't wait. Thumbs Up

Depends on the individual. Sorry to hear of the recent spills; is winter though.

Bike wise, so far haven't got much to comment on. Been using a KL250 for the passed month, a couple of slides, lock-ups and what not, no spills though. Been working on the continuing winter project of my dreams (visual diary in the Gallery) including a fair number of yummy parts I'd never thought I'd be able to get my mitts on. Still needs a clean though.

2006 is hopefully going to be a great year - for the basic fact that (very) soon I'll be out and about riding the (sorted) bike I've always wanted.

Yep, i'll have an up and running beauty of a track bike soon. Plan on doing at least 5 trackdays this summer at 5 different locations, not the same track. Cool

Will be even better if i get an SP1 in summer. Smile

Voted yes, had so many near misses so far this year.
One this morning, a Cat ran out infront of me got to the pavement then ran back! just clipped its rear end/tail and had a bit of a wobble.

2004 was a bad year for me coming off a whopping 8 times in 23000miles

They seem to be using a new sort of salt on the roads in many places. It would appear to be quite slippery.

It also contains sticky mollasses type sugary stuff which animals love... so sit in the road licking it up... Rolling Eyes councils are so very intelligent
