This is not about those silly new years resolutions where I'm promising to loose weight, get fitter, earn more etc (although that would be good).

   This is about what me and my bike are going to do with the encouragement of you over the year.

   So first things first, and that is to get one of my bikes back on the road I haven't decided which one and it will need to go to D-Moto (now where is there number) and then its time to get some day rides in.

   Now what are your plans (with your bike) for this year?

Happy New years Mick  waytogo long time no see and a happy 2014 to the rest of you DMF make the beast with two backsers  Grin


Planes for 14 : rearsets for Mrs Dogs new 696 and a D-Moto Saturday morning tune  Cool and more cleaning I recon the original owner had NEVER wiped or cleaned any part of the bike the whole time he owned it  vomit
 New tyres for the little R6 Biatch track mule
For my S2R1000 .......... hmmmm maybe when all the other make the beast with two backsers have got there pound of flesh from Sir Rob
Ill be around at his garage watching him instal some fresh belts on her. Grin

Other than that waiting for the old posse to get together for some group rides 2013 was pathetic you lot.

Hmmmm plans for bikes in 2014.........

That's a big loaded question Mmick.

I'd say get that old yella meanie back on the road, it deserves a new lease on life.

Yes we make the beast with two backsers were very slack at getting together for rides this year Dez.
I thought there was a bit of feeling that some were getting  Roll Eyes at each other but that could just be my interpretation.

A group ride could be the last on current ride........

Happy 2014 people's.

Suspension upgrades. Then ride the %*#^ out of it.  waytogo

The old road was perfect this afternoon. Empty. No cars, no Police. Some more of that would be nice.

Hey I seem to remember one well attended group ride (distinctly different to the last minute coffee runs and secret handshake rides) ... so I'd prefer you casting your aspersions elsewhere thank you very much   cheeky

-might look at getting a motogadget 'm-unit' fitted to the monster, tweek the exhaust a bit more and get it on the dyno.

-sort the suspension on the 748 and try n get in more track days.

ride the ST3 and SS more!   Undecided

C-bows are a neat, detachable, luggage system from Hepco & Becker. If you like I'll be happy to post a link next time I'm on a computer.

The nice thing about them is they leave behind little hardware.

A Powervision is an aftermarket ECM tuner that allows significant dataloging, mapping, and self-tuning/map correcting.
