Good riddance to 2010

[Ed]

It hasn't been a good year...

I got a jumper from FatFace for Crimble, it had a tickage on it saying 'it's never too late to be the person you wanted to be' or similar. Too right.

I've got a really painful right shoulder, D/K how I did it, means that running is difficult, so I'm dusting down my pushbike. It's ancient, 15 years old, but I want to get into cycling and this is the start. We went to church on Christmas Day and the vicar has half talked me into learning to play the church pipe organ. It's a 2 manual thing with 32 pedals and lots of stops and looks intimidating:smt103 I can just about do piano, completely crap player, I'm going to have to practise:D And whereas before if something went wrong on the bike, car or house I'd pay someone to fix it, those days have gone....

Watch out for a more laid back Edski in 2011:smt039

Yep not been a brilliant 2nd half of the year for us, but one thing that I always keep in my mind, were lucky in a lot of ways and this year could have turned out a lot worse so I'm thankful for that.

Hope next year improves for you Ed :)

Yeah 2011 can only be better, bring it on!

When you are just happy to wake in the morning lifes trials and tribulations become secondary.Lets be honest,bad in comparison maybe, but you still have a warm bed and food in your belly---plus still playing motorbikes,it could be a lot lot worse.

After spending the first half of the year in and out of hospital and in intense pain for the best part of it, I'm glad to see the back of 2010. The high point of the year was riding my bike off the ferry in Malta after riding though Europe, and then meeting up with Zunkus for a great day on the bikes a few days later.

[Milky Bar Kid]

Well, past few years for me have been pretty shocking so I am not holding out any hope of a better year next year.

Woke up this morning, stretched out my arms and didn't knock against wood.

I'm alive, I'm happy :D

You need a positive outlook on it all, then things start to get better without you even trying.

[metalmonkey]

Same as a few others I had a crappy year, hasn't been great its taken me to the edge...

On the upside I learnt that I should be able to get back to full health, family stuff seems a bit a better, January could turn out to be a very interesting month.

I have pair 30" wasite designer jeans hung up that I want to fit back into...only 14 lbs to lose:smt039

2010 has been less than fantastic.

But I'm hoping that things will start to improve in about two weeks.

My life seems to be one big bit of bad luck after another, but then I remember that I have a beautiful wife, a great son, I live in a nice place, enjoy my job, and don't have to worry about money, so all in all, I can't moan too much about the rest.

[Lou M]

I've had a crap year too, I'm going to be positive in 2011, have a new Tiger 800 on the way, so that's a good start!

Can we have a report when you've had it a while ? :)

[missyburd]

I too will be very glad to see the back of 2010, lost more people than I ever thought I could in a short space of time, and not just through death. However, there have been some good bits and those will be what I try to remember along with the lives of those departed.

Thank goodess we have the org to get us through those difficult times eh? :-)

Roll on 2011, hope it brings everyone what they've wished for x

[andrewsmith]

Want 2011 to come quicker.

Been a good year and a s*** one aswel.
Graduated in July, can't get work. Don't want to talk about out else this year.

Aiming to turn everything around in 2011!!

[Lou M]

Can we have a report when you've had it a while ? :)

Of course! I've chosen the XC model, took the road version for a test ride the other week, hated it to start with, but came back with a big smile on my face.
After a bit of an 'incident' on the way to Belgium this year on the 1050, my other half has persuaded me to get a lighter bike, I've damaged my wrist and he hurt his back lifted it up for me, so I am changing reluctantly really.

[Tim in Belgium]

2010 has been great, I won't apologise. Looking forward to a packed 2011 :thumbsup:

[Lozzo]

I'd be interested to hear a review too please. The Versys is going to be sold, I can't keep up with battling the corrosion.

[Viney]

See the advantge of being the eternal Pessamist, is that you are never disapointed. So i hold out no hope for 2011 really.

[Biker Biggles]

Good riddance.
Still got job.Money no problem.
No compensation for losing a close family member to the big C though.

[BanannaMan]

There were a few really bright spots for me in 2010.
AR10, my son's wedding, but mostly it sucked.
Hoping for a better year in 2011 but not overly optimistic.

[wyrdness]

I hope that 2011 is a vast improvement on 2010 for everybody here.

This has probably been the worst year of my life and it's ending with me laid up in bed with bloody swine flu. Things have just got to get better.
