That time of year when your loved ones ask "what would you like for Christmas? Your so hard to buy for, I don't know what to get you" Then you shuffle off into a corner clutching head in hands mumbling something like "For Fucks sake, I'm 50 years old and been riding motorcycles since I was 16. I love motorcycles, it's my thing, yet nobody seems to notice. Get me some socks and de-icer for the car" Happy Christmas and roll on spring
I spend all year dropping not very subtle hints to no avail. I spend January buying the stuff I wanted for Christmas. Still love Christmas though.
Have you not been a good boy? Me, I want something to help my bike go faster, stop quicker, handle better. Maybe help reliability vs service intervals... I figure laxatives and some slim fast might be the best value for money.
Hints don't work in my house. :Meh: I could be looking through a shop window at a nice watch, saying "I like that ". I just know I'd end up with a pane of glass. :Banghead:
when I was rebuilding the 748 and had a girlfriend, I got on her ebay one night and put a pile of bike bits on her watch list. It worked, I got clutch parts, rear sets, carbon bits...
Santa is a Yorkshireman Of this I'm fairly sure I heard him tiptoe in my room At roughly Ten to four "I 'ope tha's fast asleep" he said "Or tha'll get nowt my lad" He smelled of Hi Karate (Must av pinched it from my dad) Just down stairs I'd left a treat Santa loves a beer He loves pork pies and single malt That was Dad's idea When I woke next morning I ran down stairs to see If Santa had been kind enough To leave gifts under t'tree He got our mam a Nightie And a pair of china pigs Our dad got socks and undies And 200 park lane cigs My sister got a Barbie Sat on a plastic horse A One Direction annual Which she loved of course When I unwrapped my parcels My Yorkshire heart did sing Each gift that Santa gave me A truly wondrous thing A flat cap for my noggin A vest of finest string The ferret keepers handbook Each gift fit for a king So thank you Santa thank you You surely are a tyke But can you please remember Next year I'd like a bike
Well apart from the gloves. All I have mentioned is a couple of Dianese T-Shrts. I did mention a new Superleggera the other day, lets see if the hint was taken.
