So who's started making plans for 2009?

[yorkie_chris]

Nah doing it on proper heap of $hit bikes would be way more fun.... maybe not the actual riding but for the adventure of it (yes I should still be about 11...)

And yes we thought of it before top gear, and they stole me and my mates game of setting off car alarms! Hmph!

weather's looking good for tues 6th YC, 1 degree C and clear sky for a few days = plenty of lovely ice... I don't give a ****

go to marrakech in feb

stick to the pinkie commandments

and wait

Right my plans are to make up for what I didnt get done last year.

Buy a new bike (Jan/Feb/March)
Sort injuries out with some intense 2 wk physio course (Feb)
Week off hopefully playing out on new bike (March)
WSB at Assen in April
Scotland on the bike (May & June)
Try and get in as many BSB rounds as I can, possibly camping. Croft and Cadwell are definites, and hopefully if its fair weather Mallory, Oulton & Donny.
Hoping to get away with Gem sometime over the summer, planned a few camping trips etc.
Might even make it to AR or to NEAR09 depending on where and when they are.

Im just hoping the weather is going to be super.

Yorkie, I had similar ideas of a trip around Britain on a C90 too! Thought about it while I was laid up last summer after reading a piece Whitham had written in a mag about touring Scotland on fizzies. Reckon it would be great fun.

Paul, Happy Birthday for today. If you're doing Cadwell, then I might see you there!

Cheers matey, had a really good day fitting springs and shock to the sv with YC (despite silly silly silly silly **** ups when putting the bike back together which resulted in having to take it all back to bits again ) and then had a b'day dinner with vicky & parents. Massive thanks to MissYC for supplying CAKE! and tea to keep us warm in the -3 temperatures of sunny halifax. Also a big thanks for being so patient with me when I nearly turned into the incredible 'screw' hulk (lost my temper when I kept dropping screws & bolts)

Sounds like we're planning a few similar bits to you (camping at cadwell/croft & maybe a trip to assen) so if you fancy meeting up for a beer & bbq, give us a shout

Plans for 2009 are uncharacteristically advanced:

Upgrade the GSXR750 to a GSXR1000 (unless something else takes my fancy first)
Clear the last credit card balance from my stoozing adventures
A weekend in France on the bike in May
A week in Spain or Portugal in June
Glastonbury, as usual
Grand Prix des Frontieres at Chimay (probably) in July
A few days touring with some mates in the Alps (probably, not sure when yet)
A Nile cruise and a trip to Cairo toward the end of the year.
A trackday with the RGV.

Go me!
