So my ol'lady and I had to do Christmas early due to travel arrangements. I got her diamond earings thinking it would be the holy gift but I think she beat me. This has to be one of the best Christmas's ever! This is what she got me. Kuryakyn Ellipse Mirros & she even got the adaptors. Signed baseball by my favourite player Jeff Francoeur (fielder for the Atlanta Braves) & 2 NHL tickets, 12 rows from the ice for the battle of Alberta (Calgary Flames vs. Edmonton Oilers) Just curious what my fellow BA members got, bike related and non-bike related??? And yes I realize its 2 days before Christmas just so excited I had to post now!  Ceuls

Work:
50in LCD tv, home theater, DVD player, HD gift Cert, Gye music gift cert>
Wife: So far that i know of, some movies, a few metalsigns for the shop, and a new air compressor.
For her from me: indash cd/dvd player with flip up screen for her truck, the ipod adapter for it, a new bike, and half of a new motorcycle she has really been wanting. Her dad paid for the other half.
For her from our little boy, a diamond pendant, new leather ridding jacket with a pink stripe ( same color as her new bike), and a car seat that hooks up to her bike so they can pedal around the neighborhood.
Thats all that i know of right now. I am sure there is more, since she likes to buy stuf durning the year and hide it. Not to mention the stuff form her mom and step dad, and her dad and step mom, my parents, and all the stuff we got for jake. Yeah gonna have to take the big truck lol to get all his crap home I am sure.

I think for the first year in a long time, no bike-related gifts were asked for, but we'll see. I'd love a nice Triumph sweatshirt, etc but find the company brand clothes have a very peculiar style that doesn't suit this 40-something rider. Guess I'm no longer hip or edgy. Go figure..... Come to think of it, I did ask for the exploded view Triumph motor shirt from the folks at Low-Brow Customs: http://lowbrowcustoms.com/ProductImageGallery.asp?ProductID=210&GalleryItem=1 An embroidered sweatshirt with the 100 year logo would be great, but Triumph doesn't seem inclined to using that again.

Get DULCOLAX stool softener and place into the ANTERIOR end of the reindeer and from the POSTERIOR end you should get a polychromatic syrupish exudent , suitable for application on pancakes and waffles !
See , life is GOOD . Keep the thing .

I just opened a set of Triumph Roadster gloves today for my b-day from my wonderful fiancee'. Looks like they'll be excellent medium weather gloves, and should be great in the cold with liners. Guess I'll have to do for a ride today to see.

When the wife buys you a cemetery plot, it's time to start checking your brake lines, fuel lines, ignition wires, and wheel nuts before you go anywhere

a free snowmobile. It's an older beast but in fine shape, needs slight carb work, maybe I can find someone to help with that.  Of course all the snow melted the other day too....

Hrumph!!! All Santa left me last night was a friggin' lump o' coal in my Christmas stocking!  (...I guessin' that fat fart must be operating under the false assumption that Triumphs are steam-powered or somethin', huh?!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

From my missus, a Corbin Pillion, Kury Pillion Pegs, and a few little odd and ends from Brent (thanks Jim). Now because she didn't think they were good enough pressies cos they were in essence for her (I just want her to ride with me more often - which bloke doesn't ) I also got another bike but of the pedal kind (now I can ride 2 types of bikes to work ) and a very expensive headlight, gift vouchers from my grown up kids, also a battery operated portable tyre inflator, a portable evaporative cooler for my camper trailer and besides other odds and ends a remotely operated rain gauge that self empties when full from the mum in law 
Staintune Pipes, K&N Pods, 45 pilots, TBS needles and 145 mains.
