Thanks Mc, I had forgotten the time honoured year end awards... We need something to keep us amused now.

My nominations:

Best Lockdown project... Buzzers ducatis, kevL balance bike, Tony mons Honda sl or was it a tl or xl?, gabi trying to sell his storm.

The Best FireStorm... Kermit, kevL blue one, my yellow wonder. Dori the Mori.

Best Non Firestorm... Tony mons tuono, my KTM adventure, James's husky SuperMoto 700. Fabios LC,

Best Forum Meet up... NI, Scotland & Wales, were all great and all for different reason.
NI was the first time we could escape the covid rules, and the timing was touch and go for a while, so when all the stars aligned it was the best feeling ever..... And chasing James out to Enniskillen (spelling!) his little 700 single Husky vs my 1200 KTM.... Freckling epic childishness. Great to catch up with the regulars, and also meet a few new faces.

Scotland, best roads, great BBQ and having James and now Ricky to play silly buggers with :D

Wales, again perfect timing as the freedom door was just about to close again. The return of a few of the old faces that had disappeared. (Ady, Ziggy, Jonsey, Jamie), racing the super cars on the cannonball run, the bbqs and the fire pit. The accommodation, the snoring....

Operation Storm Highlight 2020...
Ricky (?) in a boat, pond at the bunkhouse,
ziggy re introducing the lets hide the breakfast meat product on Adys bike,
just the fact we got 3 op storms
Racing the cannonball cars
The road round the loch on the NI trip,

Least Progress/Most anticipated Project.
Mark Gl_rs Project Storm.
Flatline ducati


Tinkerer of the year... Fabio. Duffy. Al McQ. Tony Mon, frank

Greetings.
Beat lockdown project: Mcq's ktm front end swap or the Duke rebuild, obviously not flatties.
Best storm: that irish butt killer, or Macs red one. 2 completely different takes on what a storm can do
Best non storm: irish kennys ktm, not that I'm bias anymore. Rich's triumph as it just should not go so well being so abused or Adys, bag of spanners in a washing machine dry clutch duke.
Best meet: Ireland for being a mix of everything, overtaking unmarked coppers, roadside punctures and exhauste reatachment, just a great Crack with fks 1 only see once a year Wales for the gathering of old faces, great roads, great weather and the tits on the cannonball girls. Best Wales digs yet. Scotland for the best beds, the noise of us setting off, the weather, the empty roads, fab company.
Highlight: kenny overtaking the unmarked coppers and their "just get on with it " expression. Captain seaman in Wales. Cannonball tits.
Least progress. Bazza storm or flatties duke.
Tinker of the year: McQ, Fabio and "i want that one" Mac the salvage hunter
Partner: fabios Mrs. Hiw does she keep up with what he has. Pauline just let's McQ go de grump in the garage.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Best Lockdown project...

The Best FireStorm... I like Kev L's, even though I have a Yellow I've always thought that shade of blue is nicest and the mods are neat too.

Best Non Firestorm... For me lately my crossrunner, so easy to ride and surprisingly rapid on the road, my eyes have been opened :lol: we don't see many others on here but fabio's LC is nice, my MT is still mental and sane in equal measures, if he still has it Pete L's SP I like too.

Best Forum Meet up... I didn't do any :(

Operation Storm Highlight 2020... see above

Least Progress/Most anticipated Project. I've had a project on the go since 1992, lately I've had thoughts of getting back to my old 1230 popup Katana.

Tinkerer of the year... Duffy

For the Partner having to put up with the VTR obsessed Forum member. My missus for putting up with my general bike obsession which does include the VTR, That's not really a nomination though so I'll say Frank as the work seems to be tireless lately.
