What are your motorcycling ambitions? I mean your realistic ones that you think you may achieve. I have a dream of doing Shakira up the bum over a Brough Superior SS Alpine but I know this is never going to happen as I can not afford the Brough but I do think I can put in a good time at Red Marley hillclimb this year and fancy starting sprinting. I would also like a go on the wall of death.

Getting back to the UK for 2008 and doing this euro tour with a few people I have only ever spoken to on the internet and I must say whom I love Mr. Green

Should be a laugh.

Breaking 200mph, and lapping at least once round the Nurburgring Very Happy

I would like to ride more than 1 fuel stop without worrying about the bike conking out or being left stranded.

I don't really have the bottle to go abroad, but a trip to the 4 points of the country could be fun...or a long way down style trip of circumnavigating Great Britain.

To quit my job for a year and go touring just on my lonesome, hitting as many destinations as I can on the way whilst doing a little work here and there to tide me over for the year.

Would also love to do a track day on someone elses bike.

Going touring and coming back alive to share the experience.

Not talking Long Way Round/Down stuff, I can't afford the film crew 4x4 for a start. Just some simple going where I haven't been before.

Thumbs Up

Building my own bike, do a track day, road racing and some touring. Very Happy

Dreams are fun but so far away. Sad

Living to be a grey old biker Thumbs Up

Also finding and owning a bike that completely fullfills all my biking desires (Speed, Handling, Reliability, Looks etc...) And leaves me wanting nothing more but to ride it for the rest of my days...

I'd like to break the 100mph barrier doing a stand up wheelie by the end of the year, not planned any further than that. Laughing

I'd like to find the perfect bike that's oh-so-unappealing to chavvy thieves. That way I can put it in the back garden and sleep safe knowing that no-one will nick it.

I'm in the planning stages of a lap of the UK coast, done the end to end run a couple of times so decided if I'm going to think about a sponsored run then it'll be something a little more interesting.

On a slightly less realistic note, but still something I hope to do. Ride the main silk road.

I would love to take my daughter on a tour of Ireland on the bike, hopefully sometime towards the end of next year.

I want to have a crack at the UK landspeed record for open-wheeled bikes.
I also want to try to crack 250mph on my own bike.

I'm planning on touring Europe next summer for around 3-4 weeks, so that's my realistic ambition.

Also when I'm more financially secure, I'd like to do at least a season of club racing on weekends... Very Happy

- Build a 'special'
- Have more bikes than there are days in the week
- Do some offroading/crossing/adventure touring
- Ride across Oz
- Go sub 8min at the ring

That will do for now.

I want to do the Round Britain Rally all in a oner on something slow and unusual (maybe a diesel Enfield or something similar). I have promised myself I will take a sabbatical when I've been working for 10 years to do this.

I would also like to join the Iron Butt Assosciation at some point. Probably on something fast and comfortable.
