MotoMatters.com wishes all of our readers a Happy New Year and all the best for a happy, healthy and successful 2012. We're grateful for all of the support our readers have given us throughout 2011, which has allowed us to continue to grow our audience and expand our coverage. We are especially grateful to the readers who have supported us financially, either by becoming subscribers or buying a calendar or t-shirt, and to the advertisers who have supported us throughout the year.

A special word of thanks also to our contributors: MotoMatters.com staff photographer Scott Jones, and contributing photographers Michel Hulshof, Jules Cisek and Ben Davies. 

With major changes coming in both MotoGP and World Superbikes, we believe 2012 will be one of the most interesting and exciting years in recent motorcycle racing history, and we will be making a few changes to the site and hopefully adding resources to cover the world of international motorcycle racing in even more depth than we did in 2011. Here's to the New Year!
