Another cycling season comes to a close, what was the best thing of this year for you

ImageShack Links Do Not Work

I tucked her away for the year today. My wife is nice enough to park outside so the bike can sit on her side so I can get on the bike and just go in the morning. It is getting down in the teen's at night. Nebraska has a fair amount of humidity in the winter, so frost is a danger since I leave in the dark and come home in the dark.

This year was bitter sweet. I sold off my beloved 06Yamaha FZ1 for the Busa. I had the Fizzy all modded out, It would have dyno'd about 148 hp but, They don't hold their value like it's big brother the R1 and I knew I could do more with the Busa.
The best thing....I love the Busa and will always own one.
Lots of mods to do....going to be a busy next year.

Scar came to the house and we went on a group ride with several local folks..

Spring Bash and met Semi in Memphis and we trailered together.

Semi came to the house for a week and we did the week long "ModFest"

Spring Eureka Springs

16 day man trip with Uncle Steve

I got to do all of the above minus the Spring Bash and the Man trip, my bike and myself are in one piece with a few track days sprinkled in here and there. My family and I are healthy and looking forward to Christmas.

Took a 3 day ride Memorial weekend and took pictures like this. This is Highway 128 in Northern California. Life was good on this ride.

Well I have to say the best thing this year for me was our trip from WI. to Key West. 4000 miles round trip with a stop to Deals Gap. Trip of a lifetime.

Yeah, the cycling season is over here as I have had to bring my bicycles into the basement from the garage....but I still get to ride my rollers on my road bike so all is not lost.......oh, wait.....did you mean "motorcycling"?

That's what I was thinking! Actually the track day at Reno/Fernley Raceway connected to the Stampede was my most fulfilling experience, knowing EVERYONE on the track was awesome!

As to "cycling in Winter", well it doesn't stop for me as indicated below.

It was a good year. Being able to ride with my brother a few times is always great. We live about 10 hrs away from each other. With our work schedules, it'a always nice when we can go for a ride. Met a great member this year. It was a pleasure hanging out with ya WarBirdII. Hope to get back that way in the summer. And just being able to hang out on the org with a bunch of other great members.

The 2nd annual stampede was the highlight of this year. Meeting folks from all across the country again this year.

Hey that looks like some excellent home cooking. Who's the skinny dude ?
Best thing about this years cycling season is that it's finally here
Flat 70s for the last several weeks and I met many org members in person and enjoyed all of it.

This was a great year for me.

Went to MototGP, and was able to ride around the Santa Cruz area.

I won a track bike

Did my 1st trackday

I got to ride a lot more then I did the last 2 years

The best thing is I got to do it with friends and family

 

[GsxrBots]

Fantastic year for you! I got to ride around lake Michigan on two wheels with two good friends and the week after I got back I bought a brand new busa! Then I got to ride it for the break in miles and she sits in storage
Next year will be even better!!!
Thanks for sharing! I remember your original post when you told us all you had won the track bike. I was so jealous.... congrats man looks like you deserve it! And definitely appreciate it!

Remembering the good times and laughs with my friends on rides, and Angels keeping me safe from harm while I ride. I lost my Mother in July, and I know she was one of them.

For me it was meeting several new friends on here, then actually coming out of my shell enough to go to Haya's in the Hills (Second Annual). Now, the Spring Bash?! Wow, things changed for me. Normally I'd go riding by myself and be content.

Moved from AR to NC, building a new house, so no time to go to any of the bashes, was the worst part of the year.

The best was trying to keep up with the Raleigh NC folks through their country twisties and loosing all my chicken strips.

Rode to work at 29F wasn't too bad, winter "cycling" clothes with "Motor cycling" leathers over the cycling stuff works real well.

Bike remains on standby, for the odd nice day over here.
