What's your New Years RIDING Resoulution?

[Mr Lefty]

Just wondering what peoples goals are for the new year as far as riding goes?

I've got a few...

1. Buy a bike :lol:

2. Rack up 30,000+

3. Do 2 track days

4. Get a knee down

5. Hit up the Indy MotoGP again

[pickle.of.doom]

Continue to ride and get as many track days in as I can this year, even though I am going to be a broooooooooooooooooooooke ass mofo this riding season... will be graduating in spring and starting to look for a job, but I am going to run out of cash waaaaaay before that.

[Dragonpaco]

[Angee]

Get a bike
Take my MSF
bust Dutch's balls in the turns by next NYE :lol:
Drop a knee by 2011 (on a track, of course)

[Adeptus_Minor]

Ride more often.
I rode quite a bit the first year I had the bike and very little this past year.
It's way too nice to sit in the garage so much.

[rogue]

I have a few bik trips planned. 2 short trips & 1 long trip that I'll be taking by myself, which includes riding the Gap! :rockwoot:

Other than that, riding more, honing my riding skills, pushing myself a little more. Maybe by 2010 I'll have the funds & the confidence (in myself) to start doing track days. :D

[t-homo]

More Riding.
Meet more of you fuckers
Indy MotoGP

[ericr]

and hanging off is proper. Don't endanger yourself with shitty riding position just to try to lean farther.

[VatorMan]

Get wife her own bike.
More miles on the bike than the cage.
New bike (maybe)

[WARputer]

To figure a way to get that Turbo for the Bus. :drool:

[Sixxxxer]

I'd like to do the More miles on bike than my Car...I plan on riding the Piss out of it this Season.

[Trip]

[Mr Lefty]

I'd like to do the More miles on bike than my Car...I plan on riding the Piss out of it this Season.

I'll rack up 5K driving from AK to Mississippi in Feb... figure 7k total till I have a bike... and I hope by Xmas next year... It's still sitting at 7k for the year... and my bike is over 30k

don't crash or run into anyone (namely yamaha R1's that are in my way)

:lol: how about turning your blinker off with in a mile of each corner?

[Sixxxxer]

Goddamn Ebbs...Thats just Kickass.

[Mr Lefty]

Goddamn Ebbs...Thats just Kickass.

I said hope... who knows... there's bound to be lots of red lights in Mississippi I could loop it at :zowned:

[Sixxxxer]

Maybe you should try to make plans that aren't so crazy.... I mean, we know what happened last time... and it was all down to trying to do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaay too much at once!

[Sixxxxer]

yup... I was so out of it I didn't even realize wtf was happening until I was sliding on the ground... retarded.

Stop Staring at tits and you'll be ok.

it was more trying to do too much with to tight a schedule... but yeah... I had several 600-800 mile days on that trip.... after not riding for a year it was too much... took it's toll.. but above that... I felt like I couldn't enjoy the area's I was riding!... so my trips now rarely have a 550 mile day... 7-9hrs of riding...

and yes... i have SEVERAL trips planned... to Newfoundland, to Vancouver Island, to San Diego are a couple...

[pickle.of.doom]

Yeah, thats the problem with the super tours, you bust your ass to put in mega miles, but at the end of the road you realise how much you missed. Thats how I felt after the last day of one of our big trips last year, when we busted right aroun 550 home. I felt like the 250-400 mile days were so much more of an experience, just because you got to take it all in a lot better.

yeah I'm not so concerned about racking up miles on the trip as seeing different things via two wheels... stay off interstates as much as possible... and really see America. I'm hope'n I can get approved for 20 days off this comming year or next... to hit up Newfoundland... just take my time... meet a couple of you fuckers along the way

You let me know if that Goes through...I'll go out of my way to have a Drink with Ya...Or you could just pass through jersey right quick and say hi :)

Yeah, thats the way to do it for sure.

I would love to just have a destination... no time restraints, no route planned, no anything. Just an end point.

[spierce]

I just want to go to a track day that is my Number one bike resolution.

[pickle.of.doom]

Ok, one more to my list. I would like to do my first day at the supermoto track this year...

[Mr Lefty]

will do
Yeah, thats the way to do it for sure.

well I'll have a few Points of Interest along the way... like DC, a few nice roads I've been pointed to, Niagara Falls, ect..... but yeah... I'm not gonna use a pre planned route.

[Sixxxxer]

I agree...I'm thinking about taking time off to get down to the Suches Rally...We'll see if my Schedule works out for that (And Money)

will do

Put a Philly Cheesesteak on the List :rockwoot:

[Dnyce]

class for what?

and hanging off is proper. Don't endanger yourself with shitty riding position just to try to lean farther.

drag racing, not road racing. my three choices are basically a 9.50 index, 9.90 index or 10.70. i dont want to run brackets anymore. i could launch it real easy, short shift 1-2-3 and run 10.7's all day, or live just alil past the limit of the bikes potential (as it sits now) tryn to run 9.5's. id just pick whichever class has the most ppl in it at the first race and stick with that, but thatll probably be the 10.7 class and honestly that feels slow. so idk

and i didnt mean i didnt wana hang off, i just meant i didnt wana hang all the way off the seat just tryin to touch my knee to the ground. i wana do it the right-ish way, gd/decent(lets be honest, it wont be perfect lol) position, smooth, comfy, etc

:dthumb:

[pickle.of.doom]

gotcha! :dthumb:

good luck with at the strip!

As far as hanging off, theres tons of different stules, just do what ever makes you feel the most comfortable.

[101lifts2]

Track this year. Did -0- in 2008 and I usually do 5 or so days.

why 0 in 08?

[101lifts2]

why 0 in 08?

Didn't have alot of spending money this year and I sold my truck early in the year.

[pickle.of.doom]

I think thats going to be me this year :(

[Mr Lefty]

Didn't have alot of spending money this year and I sold my truck early in the year.
damn... well hopefully this coming year is better!

[Particle Man]

spend another year not getting squished by stupid cage drivers.

[neebelung]

Just wondering what peoples goals are for the new year as far as riding goes?


Hmmm, RIDE. MORE. I'd like to rack up 8-10K miles this year.

Finish up a few mods on the R1.

Do a track day.

Keep the rubber side down.

[shmike]

2009 will be a limited racing season for me so my main focus will be to stay fresh and ready to hit it hard again in 2010.

Need to break two plateaus:

Sub 1:30's at Homestead.

Sub 1:20's at Jennings.

As a Control Rider:

Introduce at least 10 noobs to the world of track riding.

Help each student feel comfortable and proficient on track.

Help / inspire at least three "street riders" to become race licensed.

Where are you a control rider?

Depending on where you're control riding (and when Chris and I decide to get our asses to the track) you could check two off your 10 with us. :)

[cuttle]

do more true dualsporting, ride the Brown Mountain ORV "most difficult" trails wo dropping the bike, and maybe do Copper Canyon or parts of the TAT for a week....

[xx CURVE xx]

Another Tard...more track time...less hospital time.

Sweet, we'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

[smileyman]

I am going to work out harder so I will be more fit on the bike, then I will learn to drift on two wheels!

[MissHell]

1. Corner better.
2. If we still had a track, track day.
3. Replaces #2 ~ ERC.
4. Possibly Femmoto. :)

[Ducati Diva]

Will start with my solo NEW YEARS DAY ride
The rest of the year to work on improving and becoming "one" with my bike.

[Amorok]

I don't do resolutions, but I do intend to make more PGR rides and do more long trips.
