Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

2010 was a real let down after a great 2009, I made no plans for 2010 apart from going to the AR, which was the highlight (except for EAR rideouts as well) of a very poor year.

Any plans would have been scuppered by events over the summer.

So get the campervan ready for some trips, maybe go to Germany, survive until my 50th in November. Get my karma back wherever I've left it

There's a lot of bad stuff going on a work, which won't get sorted soon, so at the moment 2011 isn't going to get off to a great start

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

2010 has been a git, so I am starting 2011 with the SV SORNed because I cannot afford the tax and a new rear tyre at the moment. Also, the insurance on the XJ expires on the 1st of January, so things are tight.

My dream job has turned sour, not because the work is bad, but because the company can't pay me right and are not upholding their promise of a lot of hours available. I have five shifts between now and February.

So for 2011, I want a new job that is going to pay me on time and with all that I have actually earned, I want enough to afford to sort the SV out (£200 will sort that and leave me plenty of change to fill the tank!). I want to ride my bikes more and visit the friends from here and elsewhere that I have been promising to visit since getting the SV in 2007!

I really want to get away from home a lot more, I want to see some sights and explore the country in which I live. I want to see more live bands and really get to grips with the underground for the radio show.

I have a new niece on the way, Charlotte Grace will be her name once she is born and I can't wait to meet her after all of the worry and constant trips to Hospital by my poorly sister. My Brother is moving back to Bristol so I will get to see my other niece Robyn more often too, so family is going to be a big thing for me in 2011.

2010 contained too much sadness and I will be glad to see it gone, please may 2011 be a kinder year for us, with out the heart ache and let downs.

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

Well, 2010 hasnt exactly been a barrel of laughs - difficult divorce, skint on benefits, part-time boyfriend, poor health, blah blah... so i'm trying to be optimistic about 2011 but its hard.

At least my financial situation is better through selling my bike and getting a job (even though its crap!) so I can finally provide properly for the kids after 3 years major struggle.
Healthwise its a bit grim, im looking in the immediate future to surgery for kidney stones and, unrelated, a possible stent in my brain (few unpleasant tests to do first).
There is no way i see me getting another bike this year, but i refuse to let go of the idea altogether.
I'd love to start a small internet business but I cant come up with a suitable idea so will be racking my brains continually, all suggestions welcome on a postcard please...

On a more positive note, i'm going to try and stop worrying all the time and just get on down and play with the kids more. They're healthy and happy and that's what is really important. 2011 will be all about giving them a fun year!!!

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

2010 had more highs than lows, even though we lost some family memebers and Mrs w's mum is a huge worry.

The GM and AR were brilliant. Dates permitting I'm looking forward to both of them this year. A new bike, and lots more miles.

Plans I have but I don't put any great expectations on the year. Life deals you certain cards and that is what you get to play with.

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

2010 wasn't the best for me, but I refuse to be down about it.

We found out our youngest son who is now 14 months has cerebal pausey. Just about got my head round this now.

I had surgery on my knackered knee that hasn't really worked so I have had to give up playing football and refing which I loved. A consequence of this means I have put 2 stone on.

My wife is suffering with Post Natal Depression!

However - I did win custody of my 11 year old son from my evil ex and after an expensive court case he now lives with me.

The youngest has taken 2 steps, which is a miracle after being told he will probably never walk.

I have a good job that pays well, and I am lucky enough to call my work collegues friends.

So 2011 throw whatever you want I me I couldn't give a **** what it is it will be like water off a ducks back.

I own an SV and intend to put some miles on it, With the AR, France and the mountains! and Ed bash in shropshire.

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

I hope to loose a bit more weight. In 2010 I have gone from 18 stone to 14 stone 7 and I want to get to 13 - 13.7 stone

I am also planning on riding more with the Mrs as pillion rather than just using the bike for mostly commuting to work.

I also want to find a new job.

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

No plans, that way I cannot end the year disappointed.

I will be starting it on a high with my good lady in foreign parts and intend it to be one hell of a ride through to next new year. Life is what you make it. Enjoy the good times but ffs don't dwell on the bad

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
 

After 2009 and 2010 not planing a thing holiday wise etc..

- Look to get into any regular work
- Try and shift this last half stone I'm carrying (well stone atm :evil:)
- Avoid being left behind with what I'm qualified as (£35 a 2 hour seminar is unjustifiable when thats the weekly money)
- Sort the bike out as it in need of TLC

Re: So whats your plans for 2011 ?
