Default So. What bike stuff you got planned this year then ?

Most of us FWB's are now thinking about dusting off the bikes and heading out onto the roads so i'm thinking what i might do apart the usual this year.

I've possibly got a Spain stag do to go to this year so i fancy using that as an excuse for my first trip abroad and on top of that i'd like another trip to the IOM for the Manx for a couple of days. May think about the British GP as well but TBH i'd take my boys along to that so that'd be a trip in the car.

Any one else got any thoughts for the forthcoming months ?

Tune the granny out of the little Aprilia I now have and then embarrass some people on big sportsbikes before it goes bang


Finally dust off / get out and rebuild my ol' Gixer (or maybe build the workshop so I can do it in winter)

Go to a bike event of some kind or other on every weekend from April until the end of September, in various countries.

Break a land speed record.

Do a tour of Scotland, ride back to Hungary to see my mate Steve.

Do some more off roading, if there's any time left, ideally in Java.

Marv.

Lot's planned-ride over to the Czech Republic and Romania in May, Devon and Cornwall in June, France in July, Germany France and Spain in September. All paid for too.

Will find out on Monday when they can do the surgery on my ankle that it so badly needs, and how long I will have to refrain from biking. Looks like some of the above could be cancelled. What a shitter that would turn out to be!

Sposed to be going round the 'Ring on a borrowed KTM but don't know if that's still on.

I'm off to St Malo=> Bordeaux and then Monaco and Cannes, through the Pyrenees to the Catalonia MotoGp in June.

Also off to Silverstone for the same.

Other than that just ragging round England I'd expect.
