All of the above except the Canam bit. Insert instead to get rid of the extra weight that of a small boy from my person!
Might be easier to cut a leg off or some other double up like an arm or something.

have the back paddock slashed and mow in my very own vmx practice track

same as rusty and brad re the fitness thing, hence the mountain bike I've ridden every morning for the last week

oh, and spend more time with the wife and kids, put in internal stairs, extend the shed, finish the mainline, finish the landscaping, finish the YZ, repaint the Holden, etc...  ;D

Ditto,with fitness but drop some kilos so my poor 125s dont have as much lard to punt around.Try to improve my riding skills so Im not last so often.Stop buying stuff on impulse,thinking its what I want but knowing it isnt really,and then spending $$$ to rectify the problems.Decide on the bike that I really DO want,find a great example and get it in time for cd6.Put something back into the club by getting some courses under the belt and helping on race days etc.

*Lose another 40kg.
*continue with the fitness campaign.
*Swim 2k without a rest.
*finish my Cheney and Boyd and Stellings Suzuki.
*Rebuild my cruiser bicycle and the Marin downhill bike.
*Travel to Mid Ohio or the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
*Spend more time with positive people and less with the negative.
*Drink only quality beer, fine wine and good coffee. Life's too short for VB,wine casks and instant coffee.
*Make a start on the Maico Metisse and don't procrastinate so much on that and other projects.
*Do more country drives in the Jag with my luvvy.
*Get the Ducati set up for some latte cruises and Kurrajong Mountain knee scrapes.
*Make some progress on the book.
*Try and avoid arguing the point with tossers. It ain't worth the effort.
*Learn more about things that mean something to me. You're never too old to learn.

Strangely enough, my new years resolutions are almost identical to Rusty's (even including the Can Am one). Maybe not the one about winning every race that I enter , because I don't want to get my possibilities mixed up with my capabilities  :D . Just as long as I am having fun , that is all that matters . But I suppose the main thing I want to do this year is ride more . This may then help some of the other resolutions such as the fitness & the enthusiasm to get working at putting more bikes back together .
Title: Re: new years resolutions come on spit it out

 My new year resolutions are.
Start by walking a lot more, getting fit for the Vintage nationals, Slow down on selling my bikes and apply my energy into racing.
Start promoting vintage racing a lot more, rules and regulations need to be reviewed. Stop taking things personal
Find the bikes that l want to race and show which l have been looking for, for so many years. and that is a Kawasaki F21M 250. Kawasaki kx 125 A.
Help build up the numbers in pre 65 classes , 125 classes and bucket class racing
Would like to start up my old Vintage Magazine ???
Win some races at the national meeting and have a lot of fun. with my mates.

Title: Re: new years resolutions come on spit it out
Post by: Nathan S on January 01, 2009, 09:35:21 pm
1. Lose 10kgs.
2. Get fitter (they're obviously related, but I know that its possible to acheive either without acheiving both, so they're seperate goals).
3. Cut back on the beer (See #1)(NB: Cut back, not cut out).
4. Ride my pushie a lot more (again, related to earlier resolutions, but this one is made for its own reasons, not just as a way of acheiving the others).
5. Get to either CD6 or the Nationals, both if possible.
6. Get some of the car projects out of the way.

 Happy new year to all.

*Lose the last 30kg. Seeing I lost 50kg in 2009 and only 10 in 2010, I've seriously dropped off the program.

*Get as fit and healthy as I can...entailing both knee replacement and ankle fusion operations I'm booked for. Resume swimming (tomorrow actually) and get back on board the pushy once the joints are sorted.

*Finish the gear and suspension upgrades on my Marin monocoque mountain bike for that occasion.

*Continue phasing out beer out of my diet and replace it with good wine.

*Finish all of my outstanding vintage projects and actually ride a few of them.

*Compete in a few Vinduros one my IT 175L and IT250J

*Travel to the USA in June and NZ in February.

*Fit the nitrous Oxide kit, Wolf electronics, cold air induction and 5 speed trans to the Jagwah. I've had the Nitrous for three years and keep finding excuses not to fit it...(Like a lack of licence points)

*Sell off all of the bikes I no longer have any emotional ties to. Watch out for the garage sale to end them all.

*Spend more time with my loved ones and people I like and less time dealing with dickweeds.

Can't recall my exact list for 2010 (that's your cue Allison!  :D ), but I'm pretty happy with how it all went.

For 2011 (some of these are goals rather than 'resolutions'):
1. Finally get my full bike licence.  :-X
2. Lose the last 6kgs (erm, and the extra couple that I put back on in the last week or so...).
3. Do as many Enduros/Vinduros as my wallet and wife can stand.
4. Get the DT125A & YZ125X fixed before the Nationals.
5. Compete at Wildwood Rock.
6. Do the Alpine Rally with a sorted car, and not too many cobwebs.
7. Build the new shed.
8. Get rid of ALL of the stalled projects - bikes and cars.

It worries me at 45...46 next month that they would even begin to ask  ;D
I told their kids not to get married and pay your house off first...they said why? Aren't we getting one of yours!
Told them to go f@#k themselves and get a job and work for it like most of us did! :P
I'm going to blow it on seeing the world when the time comes.

Next year??
Back into dayshift mode,ride mountain bike much more and get fitter to not get tired out on the real bike/s
and work on the house ::) + plus enjoy my time on this planet!

Burn the mountain bike
Melt the weight set
