What are your biking plans for 2013?

[Hobgoblin]

Bit early but thats what planning is about.

I'll be putting my fazer on the road at the back end of winter and in the mean time upgrading the horn and a few other bits on it.

Have a week touring North Wales planned.

Riding to Olivers Mount in Scarbrough for a couple of events there.

BikeSafe course.


So, what are your plans for 2013?

Will be doing another long ride up to Scotland, I want to discover more of Wales and i'll definately be doing the Ride to the Wall - having missed it 2 years in a row now.

[cimbian]

At least one, hopefully more camping trips, possibly into Europe.

Several trips to see my new Grandson due in February

Ride of Respect in June.

Learn, pass and buy a bike!

[DJS]

Get my CBX 550 back on the road and take my 11 year old lad for his first pillion ride. SWMBO appears to have finally relented and appears to accept now that he won't die immediately he gets on the back of a bike!

[Spooky]

Buy my first bike
Passed my mod2 in October, the other half has finally given in to my constant bike talk and a bike is now on the radar..

[noobRider]

Get some miles down on my new ride. Start using it to do my 200 mile weekly round-trip to Oxford. Maybe go on a camping / riding trip with my biking sons.

Do my DAS at some point after the 19th, when I've passed, jump in at the deep end and buy myself a Pan European. Following that, I suspect my wife will have a lot of quiet weekends because I will be doing the tourist thing all over the place.

Fucking love long drives by myself.

Get my bike back on the road.

Buy a 600 supersports - CBR600rr or a Daytona 675 in March/April

Trip planned to tour through France and Germany + 5 laps of the nurburgring.

TT2013

A couple of track days.

[esullivan]

I'm planning on a weekend getaway with the other half on the bike, around when I turn the big 5-0 in May. Haven't decided where yet. (Suggestions?)

BikeSafe in the next couple of months and one other round of (unspecified as yet) training later in the year.

Learn some moderate maintenance skills. At the moment, I can clean and lube my chain, check tyre pressures, change bulbs, but still break out in a cold sweat at the thought of adjusting the chain slack (I've only done it once). An oil change is still terra incognito. This is the main handicap of not knowing a single other motorcyclist...

Buy new gear. My current charity-shop stuff is literally falling apart at the seams. I want a quality textile outfit for 80% of the year and a summer outfit, which will probably be Kevlar jeans, leather jacket and some sort of waterproof pullover.

[moppy]

Before February
- Get the bike fully serviced (Valve clearances, change fork oil, lube all bearings etc)

As for the rest of the year
- Do my first trackday
- See out my restriction period
- Take the girlfriend to somewhere in Europe (thinking Spain since Italy is so bloody far)
- Strip the ZZR naked, won't go as far as to say street fighter it
- Get knee down, learn to wheelie
- Get a fucking job so I can afford to do any of this.

Id still love to do my first track day - I just need balls to go to one first
