Most certainly!! Santa dropped off my brand-new Craftsman lift(!), although I had to help him (ok, her) carry it up from the basement this am.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (especially Da Bears).

I think I must be doing something wrong, all I got was a bottle of JOOP perfume, maybe she is telling me something. Mind you she did buy me the spot lights just before Christmas and said she was going to wrap them up. But 30 minutes later they were on the bike

No kids here to give me anything, so, I bought myself a new pair of riding boots. Our bikes are going to take even more attention away from all the other bikes we ride with with all the goodies everybody got. TR

Did not have a Christmas. No gifts. Got one card from Allstate insurance. You see, there is no one left in my family except me.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (especially Da Bears).
Purchased a 2 color Rocket 3 polo shirt for one nephew and a cool Triumph wings baseball jersey for his brother. Gotta influence those boys where I can. It's a struggle.
Sat in the "Promised Land" also called Lambeau field last night amongst a bunch of Bears fans. Pretty nice people, they spoke in complete sentences and everything. A good time was had by all, all 68,000 of us! Good Luck Bears.

Well, I think the best present I got was the Bears clinching the division title and 1st round bye on Christmas Day. Go Bears.
I also got a mini stove and a nice backpacking tent and mini lantern and compass and mini mess kit and...
...all with the intention of being packable on the bike. Kinda let my brother-in-law know that motorcycle camping gear is what I would like a while ago and he did his job well. Ya' never know I may be heading your way if there are some camping areas where you live. Can't wait for this snow to be totally gone.
Ride On!

Hi Stewe,
What a great gift!!! I thought I was a good boy this year, I got a new black leather UNIK jacket/stand up collar that I needed badly, since my 20 year old leather riding jacket was about shot. I also got a "ColdHeat" battery powered soldering iron which I initially LOVE. Ask me later how it's holding up. Lotsa clothing items to keep me warm on the bike, but no Gerbing electrics, and a couple RC toy accessories. My favorite was watching my 2.5 year old grand daughter. I must say old Sinter Clausse was good to me.
Ride Safe,
Dennis
Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

First time this has happened -- more stuff for me under the tree than for my daughter.
Craftsman rolling tool chest with top part too, ball bearing drawer slides, really nice.
Bunch of stuff from Brent; BTW Brent, my wife says you are the nicest guy.
Lots of clothes (including socks but no shorts this year)
Motorcycle Classics calendar with Triumphs in it (and the old Suzuki Water Buffalo like the baby buffalo GT550 I had when I met my wife).
Triumph pin for my jacket.
UPS for my computer.
Yep, I'm spoiled!

Judging from what I have seen here you can be quite sure that you have inherited a new family and a fantastic group of friends.

Dave, Welcome to the bored...ummm...board. That's quite the Christmas present you were rewarded with. Kind of unusual to get a Meriden only owner in here. Got any pics of that beauty?

Didn't get anything for my bike, which is probably good because I have enough projects to last me all winter.  But I did get this!  It's a custom made Tipton 80s Special. One of 3 made and the only one with the hand painted checkerboard finish. Mmm Good!
Ciao!

Dave,
Betcha wish it was clear again!!
Just got back to Northants after spending Christmas in Devon - and there is snow in the garden!! Been nearly 3 weeks since my last ride out & looks like being a bit longer. Gonna have to be content with putting the new shiny bits on!
Take it easy
