I see who you copied with that sentence. Nice one!

Being that you really want it, I wonder how long people will hold out on nominating you for cheer torture.

Nobody has nominated you, though. Which definitely gives you the title of sad twat.

Can’t argue with that logic. I didn’t know what was going on either

Visited my friend who is a mechanic for a coffee today, looking nicely old school today

In Portugal, use of smartphones is now forbidden in schools up to the 6th grade, which should be 10 to 11 years old, and up to each school to decide on forbidding or not until the 9th grade.

A half flouncer

They’re pressuring to do it earlier so it doesn’t coincide with the Dakar, I told them to get their priorities straight!

I can't take it, the guys from MCN, Cycle World, Motorrad and Motociclismo don't leave me alone in anticipation to this.

The picture submission thread will start on the 24th December, late afternoon, to brighten up your Christmas. Then, depending on the number of submissions and assuming there's going to be plenty, we'll have a two stage vote. It'll start on the 27th, I assume the voting will be very scattered and by the 29th I'll trim it down and only the top 4 or 5 entries will remain, so that on the 30th and 31st a winner emerges.

I'll nominate @Saul, for always posting uplifting posts and his positive take on motorcycling, improving his bikes and doing maintenance on bikes for a team of teenagers!

Good show, Bob!

Unless you're worried about it mechanically, that's a nice way to take the biggest depreciation hit twice!

Why replace it so soon? Are you worried to have it with no warranty, it’s still low mileage. What’s a dash pod?

It's not a mechanically beautiful bike anyway, to put it gently, so might as well show that off. If you can hide it, hide it. If you can't hide it, exaggerate it

cutting a new hole and moving the door in your shed sounds like a project.

Bet it'll look smart. If you were buying it again, how much more do you think you would be happy to pay to have it looking like it does now after all the little improvements? All together, they must make a big difference in looks.

OK, 8 votes. That's a surprisingly low number considering the whining last year. The decision has been made then, unless the vote changes dramatically.

Plenty of grumps around here anyway, you do well to not be self conscious and to stay around!

It's ok, my house is at the top of the street

Thanks Saul. Took some doing to win a BOTM this year, had to go all the way to Morocco and pay a guy to walk his camels in front of my bike

So this is just a pre nomination thread thread?

Went to the supermarket just now, with no shopping bag clip or bungee on the rack. carried my groceries home on my left hand, like someone that didn’t plan ahead OR has a handbag clip installed
