2025 motorbike plans, trips, purchases, trackdays, adventures ?

[Yorick]

After enjoying the hire bike at Portimao, I'm hoping for 3 more multi-day European events next year.
1 more Portimao as still need to master it.
Then 2 new circuits. Possibly Barcelona, Aragon or Valencia.

But daren't book anything until I get to the bottom of my current pain ailments.

Then woo hoo !!!!

Today I have booked a track day at Snetterton for the 1st of June, it's a fancy invite only affair

[Beancounter]

The big things are, hopefully, a European trip in June and a Scotland trip before/after. I say hopefully because I'm not planning them, just tagging along.

Missus and I are also hoping to go across to Normandy and visit the D-Day memorials at some point.

We've booked a day with i2i Motorcycle Training in York at the end of April, maybe we'll get a second day booked in too.

Missus wants to test ride a BMW G310R and I suspect if she likes it we'll trade in either the MT-09 or the Ducati Scrambler, the former most likely.

Having been riding for a very long time, plan is to get the WR450F out of storage and learn to ride it! Would like to do some TET routes, but dont have much offroad experience.

Camping trip round Norfolk and Suffolk all the places I grew up - meant to do it last year but life got in the way …I toy with a day trip to Calais but needs the perfect day to do it …
I’m cutting my hours at work to make more bike time

Some friends are shipping their bikes from Czechia to Malaga in February, so I'll be joining them for a few days to ride around parts of Andalucia.

April I'm riding up to join friends in Toulouse, so will spend a few days in the Pyrenees.

In May riding up to our annual meet up in Czechia, north of Brno this time. Will be riding a bit in both Slovakia and Hungary.

September going to meet friends in Croatia. This time I'll be taking the ferry from Barcelona to Civitavecchia in Italy, ride the 300 or so kms to Ancona, then get the ferry from there to Split, where I will meet my friends. Plans are to go from their to Serbia/Montengro/North Macedonia/Bosnia. And get the two ferries back from Split.

Think thats enough.

another trip planned, no destination yet, hopefully without using the local health services... may be Spain again maybe further a-field.

[Scud]

I’m guessing I’ll do the usual Sunday breakfast group runs, ride outs with the Mrs of an evening/Sunday afternoon.
Then a couple of trackdays each month, Cadwell and Snetterton as they are both about an hour away.
A few mates are looking at a Spanish trackday early in the season that I think I’ll swerve, but have my eye on Assen in September as I can drive there easily and have friends within driving distance that I can stay with

Not going to make any plans for 2025. There's things I'd like to do of course, but I don't have the motivation right now. I'll see how this year goes and if I don't have a good year then I guess the MT will go. Although, I'll probably not be able to bring myself to sell it in the end knowing I'd end up regretting it.
