Another blogging year is coming to an end.
I have enjoyed reading many people’s motorcycle related blogs again this year, so much in fact that that I have decided announce the 'Flies in your Teeth 2011 Moto-Blogging Awards'. Sort of like the Oscars for Motorcycle Blogging, but not really.
These are just for fun, carry no prizes and the judge’s decision is final !!!!
If you are not mentioned, then that is probably due to my bad memory.
So, in no particular order......
The blogger that made me laugh the most in 2011. Jack Riepe of Twisted Roads. Keep it up Jack.
With all of his food pictures, the blogger that constantly made me feel hungry, Bobskoot of Wet Coast Scootin, with a special mention also for Lucky on his Pizza Crusade
The person with the coolest blog name. Brady from Behind Bars.
The blogger that gets more exercise than most and makes me feel guilty for not doing more myself, is bluekat, who writes about bluekat’s journeys be they by bicycle, kayak, on foot, or on a motorcycle.
The blogger that makes me feel cold, due to his Polar Bear rides. Chris (where's that snow?) Luhman of Everyday Riding. Brrrrr!
The bloggers that are nearly always on the road. Donna and Stu, who are hauling it around while they take a 5th.
