    Getting an SP-2 and then riding it everywhere. At least one trip to the 'ring (be nice not to be on a GS around there) and several track days, trip to Norn Iron to see a mate and catch a road race, few camping weekends around Scotland, that kind of thing.

    I need to put the bike back together (or at least sort the indicator and footrest out) after my off last week before I go to Le Mans in April.

    As I only have a bike, pretty much everything in my life is done on the bike. Including falling off.
    (can you tell I'm still a bit pissed off about that?!? )

    Although I may try and make the Thundersprint this year, ridiculous I've never been when I'm usually about 10 miles away

    Round Britain Rally




    The Round Britain Rally (R.B.R.) is a touring and photographic event for motorcyclists and drivers of sidecar outfits and three wheeled vehicles (Lomax, Bond, Reliant and other Tri-cars).

    The objective is to encourage you to use your vehicle for recreational touring in some of the best countryside on mainland Britain. This will require you to explore back roads and lanes that you may otherwise avoid, to visit places of interest (landmarks) that you may not have known existed. To prove you have visited the landmark you will be required to take a photograph of the site with your motorcycle/tri-car at the scene.

    BASIC RULES OF THE RALLY HERE
    There is normally a landmark in every county of Britain, 2 or more in the larger ones. Every landmark is allotted points which you earn towards the award you have decided to 'GO' for. The amount of points is dependant on the landmarks location and difficulty, so a landmark in the Highlands of Scotland will be higher than one in the Midlands.
    Got me list today too. That's the next six months sorted.

    What you need is someone with a bike licence and similar relevant experience to take your place..would be a shame for it to go to waste...

    SV - Getting rid of or fitting a K7 GSXR front end, whatever is sooner.

    GSXR - Painting and getting rid of.

    Bandit - Cleaning up and putting back to as standard a condition as possible within reason, gonna fit some hard luggage too. If the engine expires, I have a nice GSXR1100 one ready to drop in.

    Generally I'll just be farting about the locality, possibly a cross channel trip or two if Stena don't try and arse rape me for the ferry.

    Camping at one of the Thundersport GB rounds and watching my mate race his RRV450.
    BSB at Brands again and maybe the British rounds of WSBK and MotoGP.
    Quite fancy going to a supermoto race again, went to Lydd a few years ago.
    A new bike would be nice but that's not gonna happen

    Will do mate-not sure where I am going yet-someone else is sorting the route! I'll let you know when i know. May even bring the bike down in my VW T4 as i'll need to sell it before the LEZ starts in October-gutted having to sell it because it will cost me £200 a day to drive in London. Sales of them still look good with the West Country surfers!
