the missus got me a great gift. A Repsol shirt. Maybe not as nice as the truck I got her, but it’s the thought that counts. What did you come away with? Any new bikes in sheds? Gear?
Yep, nice shirt, complemented by the harmonious 'love' dedication on the background wall! Alas, I am left to buy my own gifts. I tend to buy them all throughout the year which leaves me no money for Christmas. Did buy a set of bobbins off ebay though!
A Yamaha Factory Racing - 46 - hoodie. From my dear old mum, lots of little bits and pieces, all wrapped up separately - nothing special, but every one of them special. From me to me - new pair of Doc Martens.
Beat me to it, got the chain tension one so just thought I'd give it a go, got the wheel spinner by them on its way aswell.
My daughter bought me a book, my son cooked me Christmas dinner, I told my brother we needed new company laptops and he said to pick a good spec and I gave Sally the hawk a whole rat. Frankly I think Sally did the best. It took 25 minutes to dismantle and eat and she looked a bit shell-shocked when she finished.
Hi all. Very lucky to have been given cash to spend on new boots. I'll be hitting my local bike shop in the morning.
i got the usual clothes, im quite please with an alpha industries zip hoody to go under my flight jacket, nothing bike related other than disapproving looks. it was the first Christmas without my Dad. Although we were at my sisters house, I couldn't stop looking at where he was sat last year. slightly strange, my five year old neice has a skeleton, and she has decided my Dad is the skeleton, and invited him to the christmas meal
We decided no point spending loads money on each other, might as well spend it on the grandkids instead, I asked for a set of Hel hoses. Knowing the wife, I knew she would still buy me loads of pressies, so I added to her request of a new new winter coat with a dozen or so extra pressies. True to her word she bought me a set of Hel hoses, it was quite miserable sitting there watching her open a truck load of pressies and saying ‘ oh you shouldn’t have ‘, whilst I was assembling and disassembling crush washers onto banjo bolts to keep my interest in the whole thing of giving.
A trip to Biggin Hill with tour of the restoration hangers where the largest collection Spitfires are housed, then the opportunity to sit it cockpit of the most iconic aircraft of all time.
Flipping heck Bradt, did you get that gimp gas mask for Chrimbo ? Makes my set of Hel’s look pretty pony.
