Motorbike Xmas : What's coming from Santa ?

Post by weeksy »

What's Santa bringing you in a motorbike context then ?

For me, i'm afraid it's nothing more exciting than the pair of gloves for Portimao i ordered last week.

I don't really give mrs Weeksy a massive budget, i actually struggle to allow her to buy me anything, so there's really a very small list of choices.

But i'm sure some of you are either getting motorbike related gifts either from yourselves or from others :)

My 'rents have already placed an order with the North Pole for a ABBA stand with front wheel lift kit.

Mrs. D keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and as usual I struggle to think of anything. :D Literally the only thing which comes to mind is a dark visor but that's petty lame.

I have an axces 2 I bought 3 years ago that fits me like a glove - I'm toying with buying another Arai as it fits well but slightly higher spec (I've not researched it lots yet) like a chaser etc - hopefully JS near me will re open than I can have a loook

Struggling with the whole Christmas thing to be honest, but I did update my Amazon wish list to include 4 cans of GT85...

Not actually sure where we'll be living at Christmas (potentially exchanging contracts this week) so not really keen on getting too much more stuff just to box up and move potentially

Well, if this article from last week's MCN is to be believed, you may have a Happy Christmas after all!

I think I’ve still got one you can have. It’s the small Oxford one.

Kids kept asking me what i wanted so made it easy for them by saying voucher for local Infinity branch. That will go towards either boots, gloves, bike jeans or air mesh kit for next summer

I think Ive made my position on this matter perfectly clear, but for the removal of doubt if the fat judgemental prick attempts to get down the chimney here I'll race up to the loft for the shitty 2 foot tall plastic xmas tree from the 70s and ram it up his arse. Same goes for the jolly whistling postman. Y'all have a good one.
