Being one of those people who has always been disinclined to plan too far ahead, I have occasionally missed out on some motorcycle places and events I would have liked. This year, I thought it might be fun to do things differently. Then, it occurred to me that I am probably not unique in not being on the ball where such planning is concerned.
So, to help out my fellow procrastinators and poor advance planners, here is a 2025 calendar of events, some of which I plan on attending. Of course, there will be many more events you may want to include, depending on location and personal interests, but this could serve as a starting point. Let us know if you’d like something added or have a correction.
