If those are your aims, perhaps you should consider doing the RRRS course on the 18th of Jan and you will have the rest of the year free.

Never did get the burnout thing - when I smell tyre smoke I smell money.

Back in the day on my sprotsbike (750 Katana) i decided to send off a well worn set of Bridgestones by doing my first (and only) burnout.

Tyre went bang and it then dawned on me that I still had to get to the shop to get a new one....

whups.

[Usarka]

Giving it a rest for a bit eh..... :bleh:

[Swoop]

Perhaps get some of those "demerit" thingys.

Everyone else has them and they sound like fun.

Question: How heavy are they? If you have to carry them around with you, one obviously dosen't want to load up the bike too much and lower the power to weight ratio.

[Usarka]

I thought they were good, like de-restricting, or de-baffling.

Only hard core bikers get de-merited.

[Hitcher]

Goals for 2009?

Run-in one's first-ever bought from new motorcycle in January.

Sell the world's best FJR1300T to a suitably screened discerning buyer.

Successfully circumnavigate the South Island counterclockwisely in March.

Complete successfully one's fifth Grand Challenge in October.

At all other times have a load of shits and giggles whilst out riding.

Be here to post one's goals for 2010 in 365-days time.

Dito - but no need for the paint job.

[MsKABC]

Familiarise myself with my new bike so that I feel comfortable enough to stop riding like a complete Nana. Upskill myself, especially in the areas of braking, cornering, slow speed stuff. Ummm, yeah, so pretty much everything really :o

Also considering rrrs on 18th jan that way i get a good start to the year and my goals.

[hospitalfood]

to stay alive, with no serious injuries.
to get a third bike.

[Monolith NZ]

1. Get my bike out on the track / Ruapuna "Have A Go Day"

2. Get a new yoshi can

3. Get my visor fixed

4. Grab a pair of Quasi knox gloves

5. Continue my respect for the road / other road users and my bike.

[puddytat]

Get down to a 1:40 at Ruapuna....

[Tank]

Only biking objective for 2009 is to see 2010 without getting hurt.

2010 objective - seeing 2011 without getting hurt - and a 6 week bike tour of South America or Asia. :first:

[nivram]

Do: Two girls at once preferably sisters.

[Blackshear]

Do: Two girls at once preferably sisters.

An old mate of mine is quietly living on minimum hours, smoking weed and watching t.v...
With his girlfriend and her sister, same bed, same shower etc etc.

Fuck I loathe him so badly.

*Tear*

EDIT: Did one of my goals for the year today, new rubber on the back.
Just a small smoked screen, touchup paint and regular cleaning to go!

[CB ARGH]

I would like to give it a go around Taupo and Pukekohe. Problem with Pukekohe is it's such a high speed track, meaning the CBR will be redlining almost the whole time... not very good at 50,000+KM... Of course I will take it to the mechanic before the ride.

My other one is to put up signs around scenic drive. On one of the corners up a hill just after the corner that always has that wetspot and the gate on the right hand side (confusing I know!) there is no sign to say that there is a corner, I would easily call it a 35/45. When I first started riding, it caught me out many times, and to this day I still wonder why there is no sign. Just to save somebody's ass, it would be good to put an arrow stating it is a sharp corner.

[EJK]

Do: Sell bike asap

Do: Save money to buy a nice bike next year.

[prettybillie]

Goal for the year is to man up and do a track day!

[snodpete]

Admirable ambitions on here so far.

My 2009 biker missions -
follow up successful 6R pass with 6F in Feb/May (depending on availability of 'suitable course' to fast-track)
Ride MORE / develop skills / be SAFE
Get racks or some way of carrying stuff for longer rides
Keep planning for REAL bike when I have 6F (confident...)

[MidnightMike]

Goals:

No binning. - Probably for not just '09, but for the next 5 years so I can get my no claims back. :cry:

Maybe get a new bike, or two.

Bring my riding back up to spec.

Make the most of it.

Mission Accomplished

Goals for 2010

Do.
Multi-day trip

Not do
Fall off

[FROSTY]

My goal forthis year is 1 To get my bike sorted out (thank you shaun) Then do a few trackdays ready for the 2010/2011 summer race season. Then (ohh please please) do the nats. Some badly unfinished buisiness there.
I'm not expecting the 1.2 or 3 on my bike just somewhere below 10 is the aim.

[FROSTY]

man up?woman Up --either way I WILL be there to pickup your bike for the next trackday.

[ukusa]

Goals: only one - stay upright

[sondela]

Hmm..
my goal,
to finally get past all the obstacles that have stopped me actually racing :D

[george formby]

T'would be nice to do some mods to the bike, do some touring & priority #1, promote my better half from pillion to pilot. Bit of a worry though, I cherish her & it would take me awhile to be confident in her abilitys on a bike. Thats a reflection on me not her abilitys.

[shrub]

My goals:
1. Repaint the tank of my Thunderbird and powdercoat all the aluminium black
2. Ride around the big block (ChCh - Greymouth - Westport - Nelson - Blenheim-ChCh)
3. Visit the North Island and ride some good roads there
4. Ride the Catlins in the dry

[Hitcher]

In hindsight my riding goals for the year should have included completing 33,500 accident-free km and getting Triumph New Zealand to honour the Aprilia factory warranty.

[mansell]

Do some riding (don't much care where or when just so long as I'm riding), live through the year and welcome my new son (due March)
