Like @XTreme I have limitations at home, i have other limitations too, my days of a weekend away on the continent are far behind me, a hours ride around the local highways are the most I can look forward to nowdays.

Keep toying with the idea of getting rid of the scoot, if the costs (significantly) rise for insurance and VED than it does now it will. 

I , at 71 and a pensioner, really like the idea of a Honda 125 Trail that I can use to explore the river, the roads around here only have 90 degree corners and my riding buddy got cancer so it's just me now, however the river where I live is quite something, the mighty Murrumbidgee, 60m wide, 4m deep and 1600km long.

No river near me, i lie, there is one 2 mile away, 10ft wide, 2 feet deep, not quite on the scale of yours 😂

I do have a (occasional) riding buddy, but most of his trips are too far for me, he will go to North or South Wales, or to the Lake District, stop somewhere overnight then return late the following day, so I just ride around the locality.

Yep, that's right, democracy is when 51% of the population tell the other 49% what to do or if you like communism.

Much better to have one person make all the rules and kill anyone who disagrees.

Don't start him off he'll start calling us infidels now.

He still hasn't said what his motorcycling/van driving plans are!

Is there anything with him that isn't a secret?

I've got no plans for 2024. There will be a couple of little rides around Portugal for sure, North and Tras os Montes, and Alentejo and Algarve.

I´d like to commit to a bigger trip again, like France up to Germany, but can't really commit to it yet. I am failing in motivation to spend Europe money doing big distances though, and still not have the feeling of riding Morocco's dusty mountain roads and deserts, deep inside that's all I really yearn for motorcycling wise.

Once i have a bike hubs and i are planning a trip to Croatia. No concrete plans as yet but im fairly sure it will happen. Other than that I'll be off on my solo canps hither and dither with some open water swimming and some trail running involved. 

Also plan to go on some ride outs with a couple of groups on facebook.

Im looking forward to getting a new to me bike or even a new new bike depending on my claim. I have a beady eye on the F750 gs but we will see.
