What do you fancy for 2015…biking related I mean
Anyone got big biking plans for this year
A new or different bike ?
Big bike run?
Midweek evening runs?
West coast weekends?
Other stuff…
Me…
Unlikely to be changing or getting additional bikes…but I have said that before
Big bike run…hopefully an extended tour of Scotland, not a details planned route, more of a make it up as I go along type of thing, hopefully with a few mates
Midweek runs…yip, the plan is to do more midweek runs, and this your I think this will happen, and nothing to do with the mother-in-law visiting for three months in the summer
West coast weekends…yip, at the moment I can think about 12 weekends during the summer that I must plan some time away from my home.
Other stuff…I want to get a proper wind tight bike shed built, so I can give my KTM a good strip down and apply some TLC to all the corroded bits, engine bars, luggage frames etc.

Cover a bit more ground when i can, up north/west especially.
Would like to attend a trackday/school (more to do with having 2 piece leathers now).
Take advantage of test ride days/events when possible (Ducati at green welly stop next weekend as an example - booked a shot on an 899).
Hardly lofty ambitions but I think achievable. Had the MotoGP remained at donington I would have gone.

i'll be on my best behaviour,... previous day spent playing rugby/perth beer festival ... so I will not be drawing attention to myself. I should add I will be being sensible drinking and test ride is not till 4pm, so plenty time to get blood alcohol to legal levels
