I'd like to purchase a showroom new bike...at least once.
This is on my list too. Although I'm a long way off from the fitness level I would need to do it. I always thought it would be awesome to be on the team that scouts the terrain for the race. That's really what I'd like to do.

11 Someday own the ultimate hauler
12 Always support dealers who support my sports not ebay
13 Get away with wearing incredibly colorful outfits without standing out

i wish this for everyone too, there is nothing like the feeling of a brand new fresh bike and i think that everyone that loves to ride needs to feel that
Love your number 9. I moved from the Netherland to the US and then a few year ago to Canada. I still miss riding with my buddies from the Netherlands even when I'm starting to find new riding buddies in Canada.

My Top 3 places I want to ride...
1. Costa Rica
2. Colorado
3. Baja
Where I want to ride again...and again....
1. Washington state. I love the trails there.
2. High desert country in SoCal. There is nothing like it anywhere. The trails in and around Randsburg!!! http://randsburg.com/ Stay at Goat Brekers place and have one of his awesome breakfast burritos!!!
Races? My all time favorite is the 24 Hours of Maplesville, so I would like to add the 24 Hours of Glen Helen to my resume...someday.

Getting to cross one off next week going to Moab!
- Baja rode trip someday with my boys when they're a bit older. They all speak spanish well so they can help me out
- Colorado. I was there a couple of years ago for a non-riding trip and fell in love with it. Gotta go back on a riding adventure someday.
- Idaho: tons of wide open beautiful riding there. Not too far away either.
I would also really like to buy a new bike off the showroom floor someday. At least a e-start!
Big one is to race the Idaho City 100 in the next couple years.
Mainly, just keep enjoying awesome riding here in the NW with my family and friends!

I don't necessarily have a list, but each year I go someplace new/ far away that I've never been. Over the last few years I've done some cool things and not had to travel too far:
Moab area (though not a bike specific trip, I did take a bike on one trip... we'll be back)
Mojave Road from Laughlin to Barstow (twice)
Rubicon Trail
LA-Barstow-Las Vegas dual sport
Dusy Ershim trail
Johnson Valley (followed a lot of the King of the Moto's route)
There is so much more to explore in the areas that I've already been that I'd almost feel guilty going to further off places. I do ride 1-2 times a week (as has been the case for most of the last ~10 years, riding for nearly 20) so I don't get excited about the local rides as much as I used to, having my one "big" trip each year gives me something to truly look forward to!
I guess the bucket list thing would be to actually work up through the ranks and earn my "A" card in D37.
How could I forget?! I have two boys (one will be 4 tomorrow, the other is just over 1 year) that I hope will have as much enthusiasm for offroad riding as I do. I hope that they will be my best riding partners and keep me riding well into old age. Motorcycling/offroading/camping is the glue that keeps our family sane, the family that plays together stays together!

In order of want:
Romania
Washington/Idaho/Oregon
Something super rocky, greasy, and gnarly on the east coast to see what the hype is about. VT or TN maybe?
I live no more than two hours away from the best riding in CO and Moab so I'm pretty spoiled.
I would like to go back to Montana, I didn't take enough advantage of that area when I lived there.
