P.s. Talking about exciting things to do and making them happen. I'm determined to get to Goodwood Revival this year in September. Do you know, over the last couple of weeks I've emailed over 200 hotels and guest houses and they are all full already!
Sorted now. Wonderful hotel and flight booked. Oh YES!!!!

Had a brilliant time there in 2009, such a fantastic atmosphere among the visitors, let alone with all the racing and events going on!

Plenty of pics on my facebook for you to peruse.

Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
Thanks for some some interesting replies.


I rode a DD bike for a good few laps of cadwell a few years ago and really enjoyed it, if I could use the 998 in class B I might just be able to keep up with the back end of the grid
Can't see me moving on from track days to racing a bike, the idea is to spend a bit less time and money on it!

Can't see me selling the 998 to replace it with a newer model or even with an older model.

Mothballing the bike seems like a sensible option, it's not going to eat anything up. Then maybe do the touring class of the motogiro in a few years time.

Maybe I won't resist the temptation to wheel it out when the sun comes out.

If it's any help Ray, I had to mothball my 999 for a few years. I simply could not face selling it, so I kept in in the garage.

This year it's getting out and about once again, and hopefully I will be back in love with it in no time.

Don't jump into any decisions, I guess I'm trying to say.

Not doing the Giro this year Annette-however, we will be on your doorstep since we are booked into the Farmhouse Villa Terreno in Ruffino for the 1st-3rd July-apparently there is a race somewhere nearby and there is a new rider on the red bike??

Hopefully catch up with you when we are over.

Ray, get a grip boy. The sunshine will be here soon and change everything....

I also notice that Ducati racing was not on your "done" list !!

Get that 998R race prepped and get Sound of Thunder racing - or find a DD bike to borrow and get out there ----

Buy a project bike, ride down to Annecy, ride around there for a weekend and then on down to the south thru Provence and the Luberon.
Go racing. Trackday at Assen, Spa, Jerez.
