Best: Camping in Wales with all the blokes from college, it was a lovely National Park by a stream and the woods.

Funniest: Some bloke reversed into my bike (only damged the indicator) so I banged on his window, a little miffed. He got out and turned out to be this really tiny camp bloke who was so scared! :D

Best: Hmmm... the June double-header at Llandow and Pembrey must be pretty close - scorchio weather, camping, meeting up with all the SWBs again, staying on-board at Llandow this time, my mate Jon learning fast and enjoying himself. Meeting my girlfriend in June and her passing her test within a week - yeah, that was a pretty good month. Doing five dry trackdays this year :D

Worst: Only doing five trackdays this year, and Jon stacking big-time at Silverstone :( The wettest summer ever (like Jason says, hardly worth having a bike), and James Haydon crashing the Phase One bike to oblivion in the rain at Albacete, my first dnf in twelve years :cry: :roll:

Merry Christmas everyone, see y'all next year :D

Luckily I haven't had any 'worst moments' this year - either I'm getting better, or I just haven't been out enough..!

The best moment for the year is yet to happen - but will by next week - a ride out with my sister..! She's just done her CBT and about to do her DAS - I might have mentioned that once or twice...! - I'M SOOO EXCITED!! It's gonna be great - me and my lil' sis :D

Best - Riding to Italy via the alps for the summer. Only rained once the whole time, and seeing ice toped mountains was somthing special.

Worst - being taken out by somone not paying attention . (Although I did have a tasty insurance payout).

Best moment, cruising on the Zed down to Looe, beautiful day
Worst moment, riding back from Paignton Bike Night on a bike (Triumph) I only picked up the Day before, pissing down with rain and pitch black on roads I dont know to well. Had to park in a bus shelter for a while to have a smoke it was funny the next day though!

Best: Getting back onto a bike after my small break of 16 years and meeting some great people on ride outs :D Also finally settling my accident at work claim 3 years after the accident. :twisted:

Worst: Hitting ice and coming off at 15 mph and causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage to the bike and busting my thumb. :cry:
