XTreme Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This is the thread where you can nominate your Man of the Year for 2020. This thread will close next weekend and then a new thread for the actually MOTY vote will start! The winner then gets announced on Xmas Eve......and I can confirm that there is a prize this year! The current MOTY is @fastbob based on his mechanical advice to members on an ongoing basis, but will he retain it this year? And just a reminder that no Mods or Admin can be nominated for MOTY.......because that role is part of their gig. So any of you planning to grovel to the management are out of luck! So it's over to you......give us your MOTY nominee and tell us why you think they deserve it! @Tiggie @Bender @Stu.........can you pin this topic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'm going a little left-field and voting @WD-40 . He always seems to go the extra mile to help out members with their bike problems, putting in a lot more research than I can be bothered doing He has often found guides, videos and manuals etc and posted them for people that need it as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 My nomination for MOTY......and it's a controversial one.... @dynax He's always on here, always takes everything in good humour.......though it has to be said that he does leave himself open to pisstaking with his strange ways. But I reckon he makes a valuable contribution to the forum.......and he's always advising other sad twats who have moped problems! I'm not sure that any advice from dynax is actually worth listening to though......but it's the thought that counts isn't it? 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I would like to nominate @Mickly for his Triumph Trophy Engine strip and rebuild thread, the detail is worthy of the older Haynes manuals that were the lifeblood for so many people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy to get a carb rebuild right if it's your first time doing it! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always read it as Member of the year but NO YOU have made it QUITE clear* obviously trying for nomination for the TOTY. I do have to apologise to the ladies on here particularly @Six30 who by his own profile picture (although many question what @Six30 actually is) can no longer win the MOTY. Starting to think your trying to take the pressure of @Six30 in the awards for TOTY, not certain why everyone knows he's never going to get the Mod gig until gets rid of his manager and his motorbike (s). *Can I just say this forum is not full of sexist pigs, most welcome females into this male dominated reses of the internet. Being the deprived lecherous men that hang round in such places (generalising not speaking for all (or myself) of course)... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
