James in Brum Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Member of the Year for me is probably @MarkW, I think there have been times I have not necessarily agreed with what he is saying but I have always enjoyed the way he says it. I think he takes the time to write something and seeks to make it witty. In addition his bravery in talking about his experiences in the ‘how are you feeling thread’ started by @fastbob prompted me to also share and to face the vulnerability/exposure that offered. Bob is still held in my high esteem but I voted for him last year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Having only re-entered this ragtag bag of spares forum in November I’ll have to abstain. But if I qualified for voting @fastbob would be up there for keeping a motorcycle forum about motorcycling and making the place far more legit than it generally is But Im also with James in Brum about Mark’s post because when I read that thread I was quite blown away by how easy but painful it was to read (let alone live it and write it) but it also made me think there was hope for the forum being better. Which it is. Edited December 12, 2020 by Slowlycatchymonkey 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learningtofly Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) I'm going with @fastbob again. Ever-reliable when it comes to bike-related advice, he also started the thread of the year in which he invited us to open up and share our experiences during these difficult times. Aside from that, he also (I'm sure unwittingly) makes me laugh on a regular basis. Edit: Oh, I'm a twat. This is just for nominations, and he's already nominated.

Bob is still held in my high esteem but I voted for him last year. Aww, thanks man - I appreciate the kind words. But seriously, I'm not in the same league as people with the knowledge to contribute genuinely useful bike-related stuff on here: most of what I post is just light weight piffle to make people smile, usually written as displacement activity when I'm struggling to motivate myself at work! And I fear you're overstating any 'bravery' on my part for sharing my childhood story. To be honest, it was actually quite an interesting experience to write it down and launch it into the ether, because I can count the number of times I've shared it over the last 30-odd years on the fingers of one hand. It's not the sort of thing that ever comes up in everyday conversation, so having the opportunity to commit it all to print and 'publish' it was quite cathartic I suppose. Now I'm heading over to the TOTY thread to nominate you for not agreeing with everything I say. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
