Lets have a positive thread !!!

What’s the best thing you’ve done !!!. Something that’s made you happy, euphoric, proud, or just given you enormous satisfaction.

To make it more difficult, you can’t say its when you got married/divorced, had kids or buried your mother in law . Or any kind of sexual activity

I found it quite hard to think of what to say, I could include winning football cup finals, track days, or learning to ride a bike. But I’m going for….

Playing guitar in a band , on a fully rigged stage at a festival . I didn’t learn to play until late in ( my ) life and I was the slowest learner ever..... and I‘m still crap !!!!! So to get on stage and play in that kind of gig when I never imagined i ever would, counts as one of the best things I’ve done .

doing the ron haslam race school and getting the highest mark on the day from the instructors was pretty cool and definetly one of the best things ive done

Mine easy. Getting my full bike licence back. It was removed off my licence when I had an acident at work years ago cos my car and GHV licence have restirctions on them that insist that the vehicles have to have steering adaptions on them so I can drive with only my left hand and still operate all the controls. My bike is a normal one and to pass a normal test and technically be able to ride any bike I like feels really good.

especially as you didnt have a clue when you started

climbed mt kenya and looking out across tanzania at kilmanjaro at 5 in the morning with a bottle of tusker beer

Not being allowed to count sexual activity cuts it short a bit but probably me stripping down my GS1000 to component parts then rebuilding it and it firing up first time and running like a dream, for me that was a real achievement or perhaps coming third out of 400 in the River Trent coarse fishing championships only beaten by a couple of the top anglers in England and picking up £300 in prize money

Probably passing my degree and masters, the best thing is still yet to come for me though.

Hard to pick one specific thing, but perhaps silly to say I think buying my first bike (an ex-rental CG125)

It was a truly life-changing moment. From that little action, it has given me so many different experiences, emotions, etc., allowed me to meet many wonderful (and not so wonderful) people, was the trigger to meeting my wife, has taken me all over europe, etc., etc., etc., ......

Most life changing would be learning to freefall, hard to explain why but changed my life delivered the ability for some awesome holidays all over the world, ust rock up at any DZ with your rig and your good to go

Best thing I've ever done

Recently it's been to part from the money grabbing, controlling ex-missus, her son, ex-husband and their interferring families. Cost alot of money but I've got my own place back and looking forward to more biking again winter & summer!!!

Getting my knee down

"whats the best thing you've done???"

??? Oh yeah... that`ll be the time i saved the apollo 13 space mission. Yeah got the idea from watching Blue Peter.I had this squeesy bottle, egg cartons & loads of sticky backed plastic & ...f_ck that was supposed to be top secret...sh_t

No i havn`t done anything

Best things for me would have to be moving out of London, cos it's a [Censored] shit hole toilet, closely followed by a freefall parachute jump, and then my first ever race which was at Snetterton on my Yam TZR 250! My first ever mile long wheelie has to be up there in the rankings as well

The best thing i have done is passing my Advanced open water scuba diving course in Sharm ( Egypt )
