1. Get my wife out for more overnight/multi-day trip rides, at least one per month, as well as at least two day-rides per month.
2. Take the bike trip around Georgian Bay/Bruce Peninsula I wanted to take this year (but then the roof had to be replaced).
3. Buy my wife a new helmet (and what ever else might help) so she doesn't get scalp itch.

nothing like putting a face to some of the names you see on here.
thanks; but we were planning to hit the Canadian east coast first, and then mosey on down the US east coast, meandering our way slowly back to Toronto -- we'd miss the Yankee Rally. Good thot tho - maybe we can do the reverse next summer (2014?) - we'll see.

Another LONG ride this year.
Stop spending money on cycle stuff I don't need.
Learn to do some of my own maintenance on the GS.

^ I swear we get hit every time she climbs on the back for a ride of more than 45 minutes. She did get a new helmet though--one that fits!--so she hasn't given up yet!

If you do make it to the Dragon let me know, I just moved from West Texas to East Tennessee about 8 minutes from the Tail of the Dragon.

In the spirit of the thread I will get my after market parts ordered and installed and I too need to check my tire pressure more often.

I am going to complete a LDR 500 mile ride and maybe a Iron Butt 1000. I would like to have someone complete it with me but haven't had any luck with my normal riding crew. Can't keep waiting, I might just have to do it on my own.
