May as well buy a lotto ticket as you've probably got a better chance of winning it than getting a wife allow a bike into her house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthinesy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Well, I have a deposit down on the new Triumph Trident. So hopefully that still all goes ahead and I can just get out on it and enjoy it. Finally getting my motorbiking life underway. As for things in general, I think it will be the 2nd half of this year be things start getting back to what life used to be like.

It all depends how quickly our infamously sclerotic bureaucracy manages to roll out the vaccine programme. Right now I'd predict normality in about 2121 all going well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthinesy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Well that is the big question. I think we can get back to the pubs and things like that with the restrictions in place, but yea 2022 before we can maybe bin the masks for the most things.

rob m Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Bike wise, the trip to the Eifel in September, maybe another trip to Europe, probably last minute depending on Covid. Definitely Wales at least twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hitcher Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Possibly thinking about making this my last year of riding on the road and track converting the R1 next winter, not sure yet though.

Would make 2021 a great year for you. Do you have cones or the like to practice your mod 1 manoeuvres? It’s worth the bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 maybe the north 500? It's probably the most famous one. Then you have the north 1000 that covers the 500 plus the east coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope to be ready for the test!!! When I learned I thought about cones did not bother found an empty carpark and used the markings as imaginary cones. I did the same for U turns, if I recall they are slightly closer than you get in your test. As for plans for 2021 thats a challenge: Sort child access out (that has not changed for over a decade), Keep both bikes on the road simultaneously for more of the year, Sailing More off, Biking destinations - Not the NC 500 that's going to be busy. So maybe - Lincolnshire? The NW, SW Wales, Anywhere on the East Coast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
