By that I mean what do you want achive next year.......
For me, I want to sorted with work, been under a lot of stress to perform being a rookie, really just fall into it. But things finally are looking better I hope.
Ride my bike more, my rideouts ect, meet more people get on da track.
Buy a house, that would be ace and still have the smile that having the bike brings and being being part of the bike org.
Oh after that drink thread I drink less now, its getting less which is ace!
I guess thats about it.....for now

hopefully my doctor will let me back to work, ride my bike more and try and get out on some ride outs with the org
I want to get abit more into work, and progress abit further, that may mean looking for a job elsewhere.
I also want to ride ALOT more this year, last year i was a complete novice :) I want to get more involved with org rideouts and meets too :cool:

All the usuals like get out on the bike more and attend more of The Border Partol meets (managed to get to a total of 1 this year, pathetic!) but I really fancy a change of job next year.

getting picked up on time from the airport on new years' eve would be a good start!
working hard and getting through the first leg of my MBA is the second thing, but pretty much down to my own efforts.
And I'd like to move house.

To complete leg one of The Tour of Wessex in may, ( cycle 100 miles in one day )
To sell my car.
To sort out my SV get it running and MOT'd and then get that sold as well.
My goals:
get the tattoo that I've been too chicken to get for years
5-ish month/20,000 mile bimble on my new bike (that i need to buy)
oh, a new job when I get back to London
probably a new cat as the spiders will have eaten Stinky Artoo.
Can't think of any others at the mo'...but there'll probably be the usual ones in there - new hobby, be nicer/chilled out/less self-conscious etc
Well my new year plans included more time on the bike and more time doing rideouts with you guys, also I had planned to spend some time with my camera and try and get a few images published, so, check this out www.picturenation.co.uk (http://www.picturenation.co.uk) and type in winter sunset, thats mine on the top left, looking all purple and wintery, christmas just came early :cheers:
Get the 675
get out on it more to more meets.
do more trackdays
enjoy life :)
I'm hoping to get to Florida in February but depends on the £££. I like looking at this, would love to see it for real: http://fl.skysothebysrealty.com/sarasotacam/

Same as every year.
New job, earn more money, buy new bike.
However, more realistic goals. Get out on the bike more, trips are being planned to Cheddar Gorge, Noth Devon and a trip to south Wales, amongst days out. Try to make the AR if funds allow as well.
And to get through a year without anything bad on a large scale going bloody wrong!
Erm, other than that, nuffin. If you make plans, and you dont achieve them, you feel let down.
Hi
My plans,

No. I hate English winters, I hate the greyness and the cold, and by February I need some sun. Also it's wifey's birthday, and Sophie's on half term, so the moons all coincide.

learn to walk,
learn to ride again,
ride with out pain,
possible new job,
possible new house (depends whether I can manage stairs).
Basically start again but from a limited perspective.
After that who knows, nothing planned bikewise, but if I could manage nearly 14,000 miles in agony in the 5 months I was riding this year, I'm hoping to do better next year.

trips are being planned to Cheddar Gorge....Try to make the AR if funds allow as well.
Viney, Cheddar isnt far probably 45 minutes or so from where the AR is benig held, you could combine the two into one event with a bit of planning.
More North Wales weekends, more Lakes weekends, the AR08, France again, lots of miles, laughs and fun.:D

But, unless you like wearing your b*lls in your throat, don't take the B road from Glastonbury through Meare and Wedmore. It's the bumpiest road I've ever known..............scares the pants off me:D

I`m relatively happy with my life right now and not much i want to achieve or change.... i`d like to do some touring on the bike.... Scotland would be nice and i`d also like to try and get over to Prague, Slovakia etc. Also need to decide how i`m gonna decorate my new house but hopefully that`ll be done before the summer leaving the nice weather free for riding

Buy house.
Buy the bikes I have my eye on.
Seriously consider buying the non PC car I have been contemplating.
Begin training regime in gym
Sit down with non achieving son to see which direction he wants to go in life and help him do it.
Fund ex,(not officially but we have been seperated for over 2 years and remain great friends) in a business venture she has always fancied doing. Also help her get straight with her finances.
Trip to U.S. to do a a loop section of Route 66 in June. Mybe link it to a trip to laguna Seca for Moto GP race.
Finally decided to get my 3 times broken and leaning to the left nose sorted out.
Treat myself to 2 teeth implants.
Consider where other than Spain I will live in future for 6 month of the year.(Tax mitigation exercise approaches)
Drop a few bob in the back pocket of a small group of people who have helped me along the way in the past.
Be open to backing friends with a business idea that might not on the face of it meet with bank lending criteria.
After being without a bike for the past 6 trouble filled months, I am going to ride and then some in 2008.
The highlight of the year though might be a cameo appearance at either AR08 or Northy/Southy run 2008.

Only go out on the bike when its nice sunny days,even if it is a weekday. Put my feet up and take life easy,eliminate stress and the rat race of working for a living--enjoy life

Get back to the gym (been 3 years since I last went!) to loose the cuddles and gain some muscle mass.
Get a 07 CBR600RR and keep the sv.
Do a track day.
Visit the CSS.
Learn to ride and corner, smoother and more confidently.
Get Kate used to longer journeys as a pillion.
Possibly change job.
Depending on housing market, get a house (with a garage!!)
Probably some other stuff but I forget things quite easily!!
