2006 Good Year Bad Year??

Got married to the girl of my dreams
Started new job which is very chilled out.
Became Fireman

2006 has been a pretty f***in good year for me.

2006 has been rubbish:

Bullied at work
Signed off work with stress for two weeks
On a course of anti-depressants for the above
Chain snapped on Honda while doing 70
Side-swiped by white van on Honda
Smashed up car (this plus above two within a week)
Young lady I was crazy about started dating my best friend
Fell out with best friend (as above)
Seriously suffering with eczema (stopping me riding the bikes)

Bought SV650 because of all the above
met some great people through this forum

2007 can only get better

passed motorcycle test
got an SV650s as a first bike
went on a plane for the first time on holiday aborad for the first time to cyprus for the first time

Not going to list the downers, been a few this year. Too easy to get fed up.

Good things:

Returned to middleweight motorcycling after 16 years (8 years off bikes)
Bought the Red One in March (AKA SV650S K5, now adopted by Kamakazy)
Joined this place
Got to know some really decent peeps on this site
Went on plenty of rideouts with the above
1000 sheep road (thanks VB)
The AR
12K two wheeled miles
Got (another) bike of my dreams GSXR1000 K6
New job, away from the techy stuff
Got plenty of photography bookings
Got some photos published


Oddly looking at the above, life must have been pretty dull before the bike.

If 2007 is as much an improvement as 2006 was over 2005, I'll be over the moon, bring it on

passed bike test
bought bike
got a new job
got the tinternet
found sv650.org

its been an ok year for me not much good/not much bad next year i plan to pay off my mortgage so 2007 should be a corker!

2006



got pulled out on bike and me took a fall
to much rain
didnt get on annual scotland bike weekend

still alive
still got bike
Catherine wheel ride out
meeting some of the peeps from here on said ride out

not really a world breaking year

Its been mixed, some very good things, some terrible things.

Got a decent car, 106, well compared to my old mini
Rebuilt bike to a good standard after coming off it last year
Mate got a SV1000 after riding my bike
AR06
General ride outs with mates, all good, bar one.
Got a pay rise
Didn't crash at all
Got my dream car which I've been after for a good year or so, CRX Vtec

Had to take bike off the road for a bit because I couldn't afford to re-insure it
Went through a difficult time with the missus, my fault (always is!) because I took stresses of no bike/money out on her.
After I finally got my bike through its MOT, first ride out I went on after 2 months of it being off the road, went up to the cat and fiddle. One of my best riding mates took a corner too quick and went into a stone wall on the armco. He died later in hospital during an operation to repair a collapsed lung. Rode home in tears that afternoon, and I never rode my bike again. My dad had to put it away in the garage because I couldn't face it. Worst day of my life.
Sold the bike, for a very low price.

2006 has been the best and worst year so far for me. Wouldn't want to go through it all again, the lows were much worse than the highs were good.

I'm next in the queue pls kwak

I'm not worried about the bad or negative stuff from this year. I think mostly things balance out, as I think they have for me. I just had a lot of lessons to learn this year and with that next year should be very interesting indeed.
