ScrmnDuc Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Title is enough.... For me it is corner entry and body position. What's yours? And let's not forget progress as the year goes. Quote
khp Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Go riding on both the street and track bike. Last time I rode a bike was CodeRACE in October 2012. Quote
ScrmnDuc Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 Oh WOW khp....... your legs are going to hate you...... Really 2012. arg...... I just rode a couple of hours yesterday on my sport bike and my legs not happy. may you have better luck! Quote
YellowDuck Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Lose 15 lbs before season starts. Get my race license. Get accustomed to using slicks and warmers. Get more coaching and drop 2 seconds. Complete the endurance season (6 rounds) no lower than 2nd place in our class. Run at least four rounds of Battle of the Twins Lightweight and make at least one podium (sounds like a lofty goal but it is a small class with our association - only 5 or six riders typically). How's that sound for middle-aged guy in his first race season? Quote
ktk_ace Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Im cool with anywhere between 3-10 pounds of fat loss ... not muscle loss thou Better diet Better relationship with my immediate kin Quote
mugget Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 I've never been a big fan of goals for some reason... But I can tell you what is going to happen - I'm going to finish building my supermoto and get to some SM track days. Then I'll start applying CSS techniques to SM riding... I will be on a mission to prove to the SM regulars that CSS is valid to supermoto. I would also like to do some flat track riding. And maybe get out in the bush for some dirt bike riding. Planning to do CSS Level 2 in the first half of this year, maybe go to Phillip Island for Level 3 in the 2nd half of the year - see how things go! Quote
tmckeen Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 My biggest goal for 2014 is to Learn how to adjust and set up my suspension, both street and dirt. and to do at least 1 track day at a track i've never ridden on before Quote
Shakespear Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Lose at least 10 lbs Set my bike up Find more isolated practice routes. Get consistent with riding partners for weekly rides Use Twist II yet again for study Quote
BLSJDS Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Increase my level of fitness / endurance for both the track and motocross. Reduce my lap times at NJMP Thunderbolt. Jump a longer double at the motocross track that I've never done before. Quote
MrFred Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Goals for 2014 Race : 250, 600, 650 and 1000 (In various organizations CCS,MCRA maybe WERA) Finish Sprinter Van conversion (80% done almost two year project) Hit podium a few times. HAVE FUN.. Grow my Bike Family base! Quote
RIQUE Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 I am going to do Level 4 this year. My goal is to improve my body position. Canyon carving I have touched the cylinder head protectors of my BMW R1100S several times which means I need to get the bike up and the knee down. I need to conquer this skill soon, those protectores are a 140US a piece! Body wise I am fit slender and healthy. Quote

YellowDuck Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Lose 15 lbs before season starts. Nearly there....lost 10 lbs already (weightwatchers - very educational experience, keeping track of everything you eat and drink). I am actually going to try for another 10 before the season starts. I am making sure to also get lots of exercise (gym, and also cross country skiing) to ensure that I am not shedding too much muscle mass. Quote
Darth Peachy Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 I haven't done a track day yet, I know I need to get some track time under my belt to improve my riding so that is way up there on my list. I'm riding from Gibraltar to the UK in August for the Bull Dog Bash. Other than that I want to push my boundaries and get out of my comfort zone more. Quote

I am going to revise my orignal post with getting myself into a much better physical condition than I am. Quote
ANORXIC'51 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Same goals as every year: 1) Keep it fun 2) Visit at least one new track per season--going to be 2 this year. Streets of Willow w/ CSS next month and CotA w/ RideSmart in June. 3) Continue to make small & intelligent changes for steady improvement, not irrational huge leaps of faith for "Hail Mary" gains in speed. The additional goal I made at the end of last season was to get my legs (hammys 'n thighs) in better shape endurance-wise. Bought a crossbike for outdoor riding and an indoor trainer to put it on when it's being Minnesota outside during these months of torture. I'll be ready for Lvls 3 & 4 come April. :-) -Christian Quote
