I know there are a lot of people who do not believe in material things especially as Christmas is a very religious time for some, but as Christmas is now over, I just wondered what was the best present you received and why?

The best I got this year was a picture my daughter drew for me. It was a house with dogs and 3 persons on it. The people and the dogs were bigger than the house but nonetheless it was priceless. It said Merry Xmaz mommy with a z lol.
The best Xmas gift I got ever, was an engagement ring from my husband.

Lucky sod ~~ sold all mine before coming to Cyprus. :cry:

First time I've been without a bike since I was 13

Seriously thinking about restoring another one over here

Hi Grump

Nothing special ~ just the odd bike picked up here and there ~ a I've got older I've ditched the shit off a shovel bikes ( for those not understanding ~ I mean fast) for something more interesting

A 1938 BSA B21 ~~ 90% restored from a box of bits

A 1979 CX500 fully restored to showroom condition ~~ from a couple of boxes of bit's .

A 1971 BSA B175 fully restored again to showroom condition.

A 1970 BSA B25 restored to good ride able condition.

All the above with the exception of the B21 were ridden on a regular (non rainy day) basis.

And believe it or not a piaggio scooter that I bought my son when he was 16 and took of him when he passed his car test and I bought him his first car at 17 ~~ to be honest I think I enjoyed the scooter most for zipping through central london traffic :oops:

So there you are nothing to shout about really but they have kept me amused with the restorations and more so resourcing the parts .

Interesting collection…

I’ve eschewed a number of super bikes in favour of a 50bhp 660cc single ‘supermotard’ which is more suited to the village roads…

I bought myself a Yamaha surround 7.1 home cinema

AMAZING - strongly recommended. (best buy 2006-2007)

The wife complains about the loud noise...I just turn it up, so I can't hear her!!! :wink:
