...Bit like the Oscars or BAFTAs but with a grease stained mankey garage floor rather than a red carpet...Or without the general pomp & splendor that usally occurs at these functions...

''And as the crowd of 3 sycophantic VTR fanboys gather out side joined by the alcoholic local reporter come paparazzi & here clammbering out of the batterd Uber Prius, Allison McQ in a fetching red strappless mini dress & combat boot combo....& Oh my word she has slipped on the pool of oil from the recently removed & carelessly disscarded old CCT...Helped to her feet by the Paparazzi bloke but only after he's got that prize winning shot of Allisons grundies on show to the whole world...Well the 4 people present...''

Votes will close at 12.00hrs 14/01/2019...Please do not vote after 12.00 as your vote will not be counted & you may still be charged the full amout of brain power to do it, & you've had a week to vote anyway you lazy fekwits...Final vote count & the results should be confirmed around 13.00hrs if I can be bothered or am not doing something else...

Well thats just about it for this years awards, thanks for tuning in, any complaints about the running of this years awards please address them to...No.1, Landfill Road, Skipsville, Binshire.

& I'll leave you with this final thought...

I would like to Thank mac for his efforts to run the awards this year. I think he did a better job that the last tosspot, so I vote he gets the contract for the next 5 yrs.

I would also like to thank those who voted the Scotland ride as joint 1st...

but the true winners in this are .......... all of us, : : because despite the apathy on voting, there is still a great community on here and the attendance at the meetings is going up rather than down.
And when you look at the bitching and crap spouting on the FB page, I am even more happy that we have this private club where we treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves.

thanks for all the fish

^^

Hear hear.

Well done Mac and all who got involved

Well done to the winners and Mac for doing it.

Point well made there about this being a great forum. I've not been too active because I really hate not having a bike at the minute and have other shite going in but that'll change going forward hopefully.

It really is a great group with great characters and it's great people are still meeting up several times a year in different parts.

Well done that Mac, worthy winners all.

Very Tidy Result!

well done all the winners

To be fair, you have already seen the best bits, it can only be down hill from here

at least down hill there is no more peddling

WOW I won an award even if it is a beer out of my own fridge
Thanks to those who voted for me

Thanks Mac for doing this year's awards, I know it's not the easiest of jobs.
Nice job with your added humour

Chris.

Well Done Mac, Very entertaining
and as a mark of respect I promise I will stop taking the pis$ for your all too regular cases of dropsies and your old brittle bones for at least a week....or maybe a day. Ah stuff it, it was the thought that counted

This is the part where the winners are supposed to say..."I'm proud to have won..."etc

For me? Maybe this is more fitting:

"I'm embarrassed to have won this marvelous award for the umpteenth time, I couldn't have done it without the support of you guys"

I am, of course, willing to accept any donations to the cause, be that encouragement, parts or any local help

Money should be sent to my paypal account

On a bright note. Last year, my wife left, so I have more money to spend. The Storm is sorted so it's on with the Duc, which needs some exhausts first
