Best of '24

After much (well, some) pestering from Steve at Road to Nowhere, I've climbed into another blog challenge.

Steve's challenge was to post your top ten motorcycling photos of 2024.  Here's his effort.  But seeing as his bro broke the rules then I might as well too.  I may as well use the opportunity to do a bit of a year in review as well. - even if I didn't do quite as much riding (or blogging) last year.  Here we go:

January

The Tiger was new and I was smitten (still am) and this was just coming home from Feilding.  But I like the photo because of a the light it captured, those clouds in the blues sky, the old truck and of course, Tigger.

February

This time it is more around the event than the quality of the photo.  Pictured is a resting Tiger after successfully completing its first TT2000.  Less than a month to the next one...can't wait.

March

Time to break the rules.  This time there's no bikes, but is just one of a bunch of great pics I got while on the 6 day Maverick Muster in Central Otago.  Something completely different but in a place I love and where much fun was had!

April

I really like this one of Chris and Stella coming around Pohangina Valley East road, about half way through a Saddlesore 1000 (Egsanity edition).  I ended up joining them for a while.

May

Just some random gravel ride through Manawatu back roads.  Digging the clouds and blue sky again, along with those rolling hills.

June

The T7 again and some mint winter gravel.

July

An unblogged ride with no photos so a video grab from the Desert Road as Colin and I came back from Chris's "big" birthday in Raglan.  We were the only ones to brave the ice on our bikes - just sayin...

August

And I can't find any biking ones from August so here's a photo taken by someone else (Raveen) on a wee 4WD excursion I organised for some of the guys from work.  That's me and Colin in my ute dropping down Towai Road on our way to Waihi Falls.

September

Back on the T7 and here's another pic I like 'cos of the old building in Apiti.

October

In October four Tigers escaped for a day of delicious tarmac surfing and Harley baiting.  I love Fields Track!

November

Two pics again this time as the two wee ones have not featured yet.  First the RMX up in the Maungatuks before it had a dip.

And then the mightiest of mouses, out from hibernation and after singing it's head off up the valley.

December

Not bike related (although the yellow bike was in attendance) but a cool pic from the farm of Mount Taranaki.

And there's the winning entry in the blog challenge then...
