[EXJ10R]

Getting a decent job in order to buy my 10R in order to join this forum meeting loads of top blokes from here and having a blast along the way and dodging the rain in the process Have more track time and doing the 'turf wars' and having a wife who understood my needs and who gave support along the way. Getting sorted out with money to fix the bike and get trick bits after slinging it at snetty (every cloud.....)

Here's to a brighter drier summer with more of the same

[simple]

Mine -

Started off really , really shite ( Lost my Dad a year ago last night to Lung Cancer !! ) and then later on in the year I made some really bad choices that very nearly cost me me beautiful wife and daughter ( don't ask , I am still really embarrassed by my own stupidity   )

Along the way I have met some really great guys that have helped me along my way , namely all you lot !! - and believe me , when I say you guys and girls have been the " sanity " to my year , I really mean it !!!

Not known for my " soppiness " but thanks for being there for me - most of you won't really know that you have been !! and I love you all for it !!!! ( even Horse   )

Here's to a far better 2008 and here's to all you great mates  

[GRNINJA]

not really had many lows to be honest even binning it at the IOM wasn't the end of the world.... the crap summer wasn't to great but I ended the season with about 6 or 7 trackdays so I couldn't complain.

its been a good year for the forum , it has far exceeded my expectation , this forum the one that be the ten R forum has had many member join and had many post inserted and it has become the busiest ten R forum in the UK.

I couldn't of ask for a better bunch of guys join and now be my friends 

this saying what said by Field Marshall the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein.  but I am changing it to suit

"What manner of men are these who wear the red beret ride the Green Meanie?

They are firstly, all volunteers and are then toughened by hard physical training abducted in the night and hypnotised.  As a result they have that infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes from physical well being be led to beleave the Ten R is the best bike in the world.  They have jumped from the air Got there knee down or pulled a wheelie and by doing so have conquered fear.

Their duty lies in the van of battle; on the Tarmac they are proud of their honour and have never failed in any task wanted to ride a sofa.  They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skills in battle or on the tarmac or smartness in execution of all peacetime duties modifications to their bike.

They have shown themselves to be as tenacious and determined in defenceon the road, as they are courageous in attack in posting on here.  They are in fact, men apart.

Every Man an Emperor."

 

Happy new year guys
