I might get back into trackdays, depends on a lot of things that. I don't really want another bike... And while I'd like to do the IAM, that was one of my new year's resolutions last year and the year before, and the edinburgh group are still no more competent so that's probably going to be a resolution next time as well. I'd quite like to not fall off at all next year, I had a good run at it this year...

And I want to ride in another country, Ireland at least, but maybe further. Fly and ride, or get on a ferry, who knows, but I let it slip this year and I regret it.

For 2008, as 2007 now almost gone, I plan to just do well in my job get some nice things for the family and finally acquire the rest of a GSXR front.

1.)Track Day
2.)Buy 2nd bike to turn into specific trackday machine

For me next year I would like;

On the road

Ride my bike in summer, I only got mine in Spetember! Do more miles done about 4500 this year across 2 bikes. Which is not to bad being laid for most of the summer last year.

Do a few long trips, Devon is a good starting point, get to europe may be.

Do the IAM couse and test. Add some bits to my bike, can ect...Devlop my riding and enjoying it, keeping the bike rubber side down! I love my SV so just really getting to know my bike more and what it can do!

On the Track,

Do a few track days...if all goes well. Get the ACU licence, get a race bike have fun with it and may be race depending on how the year goes! Would like to aim for the mini twins!

Work Wise,

Next year is make or break for me in my job, so I just want to be good at it, pass everything I have to and still enjoy going to work, its going good right now.

Diving,

Want to dive more, get my boyunacy sorted and get taking more photos diving is ace and relaxing too, so it would be good to get away from the UK!

Want to buy a place some where, which could be possiable as it seems my family are happy to help with buying a house, but won't put anything towards me racing or any of bikes i have or want to get right now......

hahh yeah not to end up in hopitial which would be great! Most of this depends on how much money I got but, by working hard I hope to earn a bit more and spend it all the summer!

I seem to be sticking to not drinking or drinking very little, which is ace I hope to carry that on as well. Really just enjoying myself!

Awh, that's sweet!...

...However, I'm waaaaay more shallow! For 2008 I'd like a Cagiva Raptor1000, not the V-Raptor just the plain one.

I got my wish for 2007. I rode my bike from Pompey to Loch Lomond and my other hubby HunkyFunkster (Alex) resprayed my bike for me. It's beeeooootifull now! I'd just like the engine casings powder-coated matt silver and the frame powder-coated matt gold on her now, and also to get rid of the horrid carbon fibre tea-tray. My ass is wide enough without the bloody bike mirroring and accentuating it!! Oh, and a new set of gold renthals... oh, and heated grips...
