    As another year draws to a close I thought it fitting that we should look back and share our favourite moments of 2012.
    For me, this is right up there!!

    I would be hard to pinpoint the best OBT moment for me in 2012 as several come to mind.

    In no particular order they would be:

    The weekend everyone lobbed at my place and went grass tracking at Moose’s place was a beauty.

    I had to change the liner in my pool afterwards!

    The shed party and film night afterwards was a top evening. Laugh! Didn’t we what!

    Then there was the Scrapheap Adventure Ride, not only did it turn out to be a challenge it was great fun and I got to see PTW jump a postie further than any sane person would.

    State of Origin with Gittoes and Tripper was a night to remember.

    WE had a big weekend up at KTMBULL’s place that rates a mention too.

    Plenty more great moments were had but they were a few of the stand outs, thanks to all the guys I have ridden with and shared a fizzy drink with in 2012.

    2012 over 35k, over 350hrs so many rides, so many laughs, so many mates, so many memories, so many hrs spent driving, fixing, riding, drinking, laughing and now reminiscing

    Was going to say sorry there are so many pictures but I am lucky I get to do so much riding so here is part 1 and I am not sorry for the long post :laugh:

    Hattah what an epic trip to use Dejay’s words

    What about the APC first day with the girls and riding up Eagle’s hill of doom by mistake. This hill later claimed the three leading APC 990’s, but the Tenere got up (very ugly but up in one go without stopping!) If you know the hill you know why I included the photo

    TB how do find time to go to work with all the riding you do

    I have done sweet FA riding this year due to a back injury that ended with surgery.

    I hope 2013 is better and sees me up north riding and meeting more old bulls.
