What are everyone's biking plans for this year then??

Mine involve making this -





look a bit more like this again -





Then get out on it and get another trackday under my belt.

Need to try the new Snetterton layout & need to get rid of the Cadwell monkey.

What about the rest of you??

Ouch Dan not nice!!

Refreshing the GSXR at the moment. Nitron shock,fork rebuild, Power commander and new brakes

Going to the Ring in April with Phils2k and doing a few days tour of Germany and Belgium. Then as many UK track days as i can, really want to do Cadwell this year.

R1 has a bit of a problem idling at the moment and I believe it is the TPS that is causing the problem. There was a recall on these a few years back but I don't think my bike had the work done on it.

KTM got a bit damp over the holidays but after cleaning the spark plug it is now running as rough as ever

We can both get our stabilisers on and go for a wobble once you're back.

Not really is it!! I was knocked off at Cadwell in August last year.

Will let you know as and when we get round to booking Cadwell.

San should be up for it too, it'll most likely be in August so he won't have any excuses!

I vaguely remember discusions on the R1 forum about the TPS issue. I'll have a look about on there to see if the recall fixed everything.

I'm assuming the dealer does this FOC at anytime.

Do you use the KTM all year round?

I would have put the R1 into get fixed had I not been going on holiday tomorrow.

Yes, the KTM is used all year round
