Best moment was grainstorm, hanging out with you lot and getting some piccies of your bikes.
Worst moment was being thrown off down the m25 for sure. While my elbow and forearm are recovering nicely (leaning my elbows on the desk didn't help much!) I've still got bruised knuckles, and it seems I aggravated the muscle I tore at the beginning of summer, as that's got worse again over the past week or so!
A close second was the horrific sunburn I ended up with after grainstorm!

Best moment was buying my Storm after 2 years without a bike. Such a great machine she is
Worst moment was laying her down after front brake lock. We recovered mostly. Some winter buffing and she will be ready for the season.

Best was probably a 100 mile ride to Wales and back with a old guy I'd seen around by my mums for years used to say hello and talk to him since I was a kid. He always had nice cars and bikes and always immaculate, was nice to chat to him and go for a ride good rider hope I'm still riding at 73. Worst moment is not attending any op storms I did intend on doing 3 Scotland,Yorkshire,Wales probably done less than 500 miles this year can't wait for the new year and hopefully meet up with you lot again at some point. Did take an aprillia shiver for a test ride yesterday but wasn't for me hope everyone has a good Xmas

Best Forum moment: Op Scotland, bunch of idiots.
Best non Forum: doing the NC500, even though I got soaked through on the way back and I've done most of it before, those that have not done it really need to add it to your bucket list.
Worse moment: return from Op Scotland resulting in the faithful girl being written off. Fecin Merc driver......

Best: Getting another Storm (even if it is Teal) and meeting up with some of the forum at Box Hill.
Worst: Selling my TRX, I miss it and should have kept the best one alongside the Storm

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: what's your best and or worst biking moment of 2016
Worst: Having the engine eat itself after all these years....
Best: Finding a new to me engine with 10K miles on it that is a beast and only paying $400 us for it

Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.

best
Getting a storm up and running that had not moved for 10 years. Then taking it straight to cadwell with a bunch of you guys in October. Bike had lots of trick bits and a brand new set of tyres!!!!! and first stint in the inters. what could possibly go wrong?
worst
The track was wet and cold. The suspension was rock solid, the brakes were a bit lazy and the tyres still had the teflon coat on. After a few sessions the clutch gave up as well.
Actually in a perverse sort of way it quite rewarding. I still managed to catch and pass some people even though the bike handled like eel
