We have an invite to a mates party however I will be the dropper off and collector and will be home in between. We have a puppy and I don’t know how he will react to fireworks, and can’t leave him on his own at present. He has a bladder the size of a peanut and the way he chews stuff he’s like a waste disposal unit with legs.

In @Renegade's defense he's an old fucker and his brain is only running at 50% of normal, years are like months to him now

Quiet evening in on my own (hopefully) . Ersilia and Paolo are going down her mums but I've refused as I'm not sitting there watching shit Italian TV

Here's 1 that Fred might take a likin' to.... XR 680R by Parr....

Reflection Canyon UT...

SR 540 power'd tracker...

Spent the weekend showing a foreign friend around this area here. He's a Nurburgring instructor, British living in Belgium for many years, and a friend of Sofia's from many years ago. I loved his bike, gorgeous thing, sounds great, and it's 200hp!!!

@Pedro is in a No Win situation. A bit like a Harley Davidson.

mod to isle 5 please

He likes Jeeps and Harleys and wears red pants! He's a twat.

When i was a kid living at my parents house our next door neighbour had one of those. he got up for work one morning to find the engine gone someone had removed it while it was parked on his driveway and nobody saw or heard a thing

Doug Chandler back in '94...

He can bitch like a young Karen, though.

This shit wouldn't be happening if @Six30 had got the mod gig.

Whoever felt like debating should have provided an insight into how they thought it should be done beforehand, you could have then been timely told "thank you for the suggestion". Tantrums don't work except to ruin the forum's mood. This year we had less months of BOTM than usual because we were not be able to have control of the forum's picture for two months. On top of that @boboneleg was on too good form and as such he won 4 of this years BOTM, and Pete won 2 (I hope you don´t come bitching about breaching the rules on that one). Having everyone able to submit a picture of their own bike taken in the whole 12 months was an effort to allow people to participate and make an event out of it. Nothing prevented you from submitting a previously BOTM winner picture as long as it was in 2024, there was enough time for that on the correct thread, if you didn't win BOTM this year you could also try other pictures and give that a try. Now, looking at the rules, as they seem to be so oppressive: - One picture per member, because otherwise we would have more submissions than people voting. - Horizontal pictures are mandatory, and it's pretty obvious why as that is how they fit the webpage. - The time of the picture is taken, also seems obvious. - The one rule you are arguing about is that you own the bike during the contest. Pete insisted on that, it makes sense to me and I agree with it, so deal with it. In @Renegade's case, I replied in the submition thread about it not being his bike anymore. And it's not a horizontal picture either, it originally got through to BOTM because I chopped it to make it fit, I am less inclined to oblige someone that suddenly wakes up and takes a demanding position like they run the place. This BOTY is staying like it is now, I'll think of something in 2025 and then maybe change it to what it was before, or not. Suggestions are welcomed, provided they come in time and that you don't throw a tantrum in case they get refused. If BOTM becomes this source of bickering we might as well end it, life is tough enough without dealing with adult men throwing tantrums on the internet. If you wish to take on running BOTM and BOTY, and feel like you might be an improvement, send a PM to @Buckster and suggest it. I'm happy with whatever he chooses, and I'm sure he's very much looking forward to all the interested people announcing themselves. At the end of the day, you can get in and enjoy it by being a positive influence and keep this thing going, or ignore it and watch it fade. I would rather it kept going but it's up to you.

Max on the limit...

Harada & Loris from back in '97....

Who's doing what, i have nothing planned this year the kids are away so probably just be me and the wife having a living room party, saying it like that makes me think i might not show up LOL

@Pedro has got a vote. I wonder if it's like the Eurovision song contest where neighbours always vote for each other .........

My New year will be sat on my arse watching telly and eating

Apparently we're going to see wicked tomorrow. I foresee me getting pissed and playing up in the cinema.

Marcel after discovering the lady down the road has just bought 10 tubs of strawberry ice cream

You're mistaking me with Fred

i see... wokey left twats.

Fairly rare sight in this county.... Elk and Antelope in the same pic. You could drop a football in the middle & have the latest NFL face-off...lol

Good idea, I might stump up for one for the fam as no one is going out as far as I know. Pubs are always full of red trouser wankers down here on their holibobs.

Mild one for the Mrs. & I as well.... definitely will have to be comforter for my dog if any fireworks start up...she has gotten way more nervous as she's aged. Plus side is we've got 2 more bottles of good Tequila that were Christmas presents from my sister-in-law....so not all is lost.

Late model 'Taco....

Bet this '68 Dart gets right with the program...

No plans for us, watch some crap TV or a film then go to bed about 1am after the fireworks stop, I assume they are fireworks but knowing this area it could be gun shots. I have 12 bottles of San Miguel not opened one yet... Happy New Year guys.

Anyway,let that be for now and just vote for the pictures available now.

That what Ren did too, except in this case it was not even from the same year

My wife don't bitch and how do you know her

i got banned from entering BOTY for 3 months for doing that.... just sayin ... two tier modding and all that

Bellow you´ll find 2023's BOTY picture submissions thread: It wasn't just me that did something exactly the same as in December 2023, you might want to check @Renegade's picture, as that was the exact same one as well. Phil, you old cheating More than @Renegade's cheating, what saddens me is that last year the exact same effort resulted in 15 submissions. This year we lost Pete, Marcel is off stalking somewhere, but everyone else is still a member.

I apologise @Pedro , I missed the bit where it said you still had to own the bike . My bad .........

i think you should just leave @Pedro alone you twats he is doing his best... what you say @Clive

cleaned it yesterday .... think i'll leave it next time , looks good covered in mud

Catalunya in '92....what a great GP era....

Alcohol sales will plummet , god help the booze trade

It’s been cancelled in Scotland.

Are you married to @Pedro?

Ah fuck it I can’t be bothered. I’ve used my weekly quota of brain power today just trying to fathom out what it is I’ve done wrong to piss my missus off. I have the feeling it was breathing.

What about the Tracer 9 GT ? Not enough power ? (3 cylinder engine with 117 Hp) Too similar style to the GS ?

yes i was stacking logs at a house for firewood and might be there again later in the week
