    My PDA just popped up a reminder than one year ago tomorrow I will
    have passed my CBT. I had never sat on anything on two wheels with a
    motor before. It is also the same date as my first UKRM anniversary.

    Notable dates:

    24th January - Sell car as it was utter shit.
    29th January - Pass CBT
    29th January - First post to UKRM:
    <http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.motorcycles/msg/3c2fc680cf4446de?hl=en>

    4th February - Half day 125 training
    8th February - Half day 125 training
    14th - 16th February - A2 riding course
    18th February - A2 riding course & test - FAIL
    18th February - Bought 33bhp restricted ER-5 anyway

    8th March - A2 riding course and test - PASS

    9th - 10th April - BoSM
    15th April - Threw ER-5 down A20 on return journey from work.
    Ambulance, spinal board and blue light job. <sigh>

    16th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 23rd, 25th, 27th April, 3rd, 6th, 13th, 15th,
    20th, 23rd, 27th May - visits to hospital, doctor, skin specialist and
    plastic surgeon to have arm beaten back into shape.

    29th - 31st July - Welsh Bimble with Wessie

    17th - 18th September - EoSM
    20th September - Half day course and full Class-A DSA motorcycle test
    - PASS

    Those are the highlights of my past year. Thanks to everyone that has
    contributed to it, given me advice and thrown spanners at my bike far
    beyond the call of all reasonable duty.

    You're a good bunch.

    I have met you so I assume it was then and there. I don't remember much
    about it though, was it any good?

    It was cold, wet, windy and I slept in a tent for the first/last time.
    It was one of the worst days of my entire life. I don't know why I
    bothered to come back for more punishment for the EoSM.

    I do remember having a lengthy conversation with you on a number of
    topics.
    Cunts.

    I'm guessing you had shit camping gear too, which is why you hated it.

    With a nice comfy airbed and a good sleeping bag a tent is perfectly
    toasty.

    I've done that only once, because (IIRC) Blaney and Statto were stopping
    here. I camped at the last two.

    I do usually take the car though, as it's less hassle to chuck things in
    the boot and drive for 15 mins than it is to spend that long working out
    how to tie things on.

    "So there!"

    Man used to live in forests, caves and under thin shelters. Then man
    made houses, windows, electricity, TV, central heating, water beds,
    electricity and coffee machines. I stayed at a lovely B&B at EoSM
    (although I did have to ford a stream to get in and out) that featured
    all of these things. I don't camp.

    "I hate you all"
