The only time you will be airborne is if some myopic granny in a Fiesta pulls out in front of you.

I may have to put it in the site header for all of 2025, that would be a treat.

I don't know anyone personally that uses a helmet like that.

He went through a puddle on his bike and now he wants to look the part.

@Pedro, it looks like you will be getting another wank panzer buddy.

Don’t forget to feed the dolphin.

Fuck me a grown up post form you, thats rare.      Seriously though thank you for the effort you put into this place, along with the Angry Pirate and Petulant Portuguese you are all doing Pete proud.  I thought of several things to say about Pete, but in essence it is simply this, I found him interesting, liked him and genuinely miss his take on life.  I wish the silly Welsh Twat didn't die. 

It must be some sort of self flagellation as to why I keep coming here but it is still the first site `i check. everyday.  I have thought long and hard about why I like it here and it is obviously the savage humour and the irreverence for practically everything. Can't get that many places, we collectively just have to convince more people that they actually want that in their lives if we want the place to grow.  Not entirely sure that is possible  

What I want to do biking wise.   Don't want a third bike, would like something different to learn about and play with but can't bear the thought of parting with either of my bikes.  Bit of a weird circular thought process that spins around in my head.   I want to make some longer trips around the UK, perhaps even Ireland but wether I actually do it rather than pontificate about it will be seen.  Collectively did 7500 miles last year, want to do more this.    I want to do some longer ride reports and make a few Youtube video reports.   I have another teenager who wants me to teach her to ride, so looking forward to doing that.   

I have got a lot of singing planned with my group and have plans to form a quartet.  I am going to kick my choir into touch, to many wealthy retired blow ins wanting to sing Hamilton and Lion King songs for my liking.  I have nothing in common with them. I don't know if I care enough to join another Choir, only couple that suit me and what I like are Mousehole Male Voice or Red River Singers but they are just to far west for regular practice/concerts for me.   50 and 40 miles each way.  

Much as I genuinely enjoy my job I am going to have to at least give up a few shifts or maybe find something else, working overnight is playing havoc with my health.   Fuck knows what else I could do, I don't want to or can afford to retire .   

I know boring diatribe that probably no one will read but the question was asked 

 

Has anyone read this shit? What does it say?

yes i didn't go out last night because of that but saved a few quid anyway 

You suprise me, I always assumed you were a party animal.

We have a bit.

Snowing here.

2024 was a hard year for us here, we lost the founder of motorcycleriders.net and of other forums from the past where many of us met, of course I'm talking about Pete, to this day I keep expecting to see his posts appear. People have come and gone, I'm sure we will see some people return as the weather improves but I would like to thank everyone who has stuck around, except for @Six30, I was hoping that fucktard would flounce. I especially want to thank @boboneleg and @Pedro for stepping up and undertaking the work of the forum with me, we would not have kept going without you two. When Pete passed I really didn't expect the forum to survive beyond a couple or so months but here we are. Pete wanted this place to be an alternative to social media and I think we have kept that ethos going, a sort of virtual riders club of like minded misfits which is really what riding motorcycles is about even if they never leave the van.

So here is to 2025, lets make this our year, loads of ride reports, a few van reports and plenty more of the usual bollocks.

As for me, I will be styling and profiling on the magnificent Harley that I know you all secretly lust after, my pictures and reports will no doubt have people, especially ladies, flocking to the forum.

For me the highlights of the year have been keeping the place going as well as Marcels epic melt down and flounce, looking forward, I will be doing a lot of miles in the coming year to various rallies as well as manning a stand at the Scottish Motorcycle Show in March, so you lucky people are in for a treat with all my pictures and reports.

So what are your memories from 2024 and what have you got planned for 2025?

I'm sure a certain someone will be pleased to see an Indian on the front page.

It’s only fitting that we should start the year with an American bike. Well done @Nute.

So @Pedro since we are on about rules just to clear things up if you close the Submission thread before the end of the month does that mean any photos taken after that qualify for the next bike of the month even if they weren't taken in that month 

So you are bragging about your massive helmet?
