I sold my MT-09 a few months back. My R6 is departing my ownership on Tuesday. The weather this year has been utter *****. I've given up for now.

Here's to hoping for better weather next year, and a shiny new R9 on my list for the summer!
 
It was quite a 'meh' season for me, not only because my crash at the end of July, put me out of action for the "summer" months.... not that the weather was all that. But I changed bikes in April, then didn't really get to bond with the KTM - might have managed a little over 1000 miles on it, before it chucked me.

So I don't really feel I accomplished much tbh, sure I have enjoyed the 2-3k I have put on my bikes this year, but nothing felt memorable, and the great riding days were so sporadic; I didn't really get to plan many mega rides in with mates.

Here's hoping that I can still snatch a ride here and there before the salt goes down, otherwise, I may have to face the fact that she needs a clean and a tuck up in the garage :(

Sorry to hear that! Hope you're all recovered from your crash, both mentally and physically!

I didn't even manage 1k this year. 2-3k is a solid effort for April to July. I was itching for that 1-2 week period of summer sunshine where I usually ride every evening after work until 9-10 but that didn't happen this year. The weather just never came!

The gritters will be out in force here very soon. It's already dipping down to 4°C.
 
Pretty crap year weather wise no denying that but still managed to get out and put about 4k on the tarmac.
Bad year on the bike is still better than a year with no bike!

The bone didn't heal lol, so another op to look forward to, but at least it'll be over Winter (I hope!).

Managed maybe 400-500 miles on my S1000R, before trading for the Duke 890R - did maybe 1500 or so on that, and then 700 or so on the Speedy. Not too bad when I total it up, but no trips to Wales this year sadly - that route will be 400 odd miles now, now I've got the extra 60 odd miles to get up from Dorset to were I'd usually start
 
It was my first year but didn’t seam that bad, managed about 3k since April just doing random rides and shop runs. So look forward to what’s considered a good year!
