Awww go on then Bill count me in. I will have definitely got a bike by then (Plus my redundancy pay,so i may partake possibly in 1 or 2 small shandies....)and with any luck i might have not crashed it or destroyed it in a years time.....as long as you post a very strongly worded reminder about a month or 2 before the aforesaid actual participation would be deemed to be an appropriate course of action(fuck knows what that means but it do sound good, AARRRR...)...
Just run your off road ride again and that will be good enough.
The ride along "Cow piss and shit road" was memorable! And all those guys on KTM pogos never thought us old gits on heavy old tractors would leave them behind, did they?
