Default What's your New Years RIDING Resoulution?

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

I've got a few...

1. Buy a bike

2. Rack up 30,000+

3. Do 2 track days

4. Get a knee down

5. Hit up the Indy MotoGP again

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
