2019 Rider Resolutions (Goals, Aspirations, and the like)

[the Ferret]

Lol that is a good goal chuckk

[the Ferret]

Anyhow it's now December 1st and the numbers are in for November, Wasn't a good month for me

November
20 of 30 days ridden.
849 miles on the FJR,
129 miles on the CB,
978 miles total for the month

for the year
267 out of 334 days ridden
13,644 on the FJR,
5.375 on the CB
19,019 total

Already know I won't make my 300 days goal for the year but might make in the 290's if everything goes well at the Gastro guy tomorrow with the stent removal and diagnosis. 20,000 mile goal is in jeopardy too, but will get real close considering the year I've had medically.

My son dropped off a jar of Cannabis creme to try on my arthritic hand and wrist lol. I can't get it to light.

If it’s cream Ferret, I think you either drink it in your tea or spread it on your toast or a cracker. Someone here will know.

I have a few goals in mind but short of ten:

1) Attend the East Coast Rally since missing the last three.

2) Retire my much liked Nolan modular for a Nolan N100-5.

3) Make a ride to at least a few of Georgia's covered bridges.

4) Replace the stock can with an Arrow slip-on.

5) Reduce the overall weight of my CB by 40 lbs. The Arrow can may help some but
reducing the weight of the rider is a better solution and I'm only 10 lbs away from my
overall goal thus far.

Once yer clear of Thanksgiving and Christmas 2019, 10 lbs should be just a [few] run in the park.

I set some lofty goals for 2019 and met almost none of them. On the other hand, I had an absolutely wonderful riding season (which will be the subject of a Seat Time report and thus helping me achieve Goal #9).

Here’s my current list of motorcycle-related goals for 2019:

Here's my (probably) final draft -

1. Continue my streak of consecutive months riding, currently standing at 46 months.
2. Complete my second Iron Butt Assn. SS1000.
3. Visit all 7 Illinois memorials for the Tour of Honor challenge ride.
4. Increase the number of riding days from 134 (2018) to 150
5. Increase my annual miles from 12,498 (2018) to 13,000
6. Add at least one more state to my "States Ridden" list, currently at 17. Kansas or the Dakotas are probably the closest “open” states to my location.
7. Attend the CB1100 Rally (this is becoming problematic already)
8. Upgrade my riding gear, from head to toe.
9. Write more Seat Time reports and finish assembling a full draft my motorcycle-related short story, segments of which are scattered haphazardly in a dusty notebook like parts of a project bike in a cluttered garage.
10. To ride on the coldest day of the year at my location or at least a below-zero day (coldest so far is +3f). This will take a fortuitous alignment of temperature, road conditions, and schedule, but I'll keep an eye on the thermometer.

I have found that sharing goals (motorcycle-related or otherwise) with interested parties makes them more attainable. The riders on this forum are definitely interested parties and would like to help you attain your goals. Post them up!

Happy New Year!!

Just updated my log books.... 128 riding days in 2019 so no chance of getting to 150 unless I can go back in time. LOL

My 2018 Riding Day Count was 134...maybe I can beat that at least. It's like 30% of Ferret's number, but a guy's gotta work.

[the Ferret]

Lol its like 1/2 quit exaggerating. On day 269 today. Not going to make my day goal either. 296 if I manage to run the table.

I need 822 more miles now I think. May make that.

[the Ferret]

guess I will make this a count down kind of thing lol

Dec 5 Day 270, 61 miles today. Need 761 more ............
