I spent xmas eve/night at her parents place, woke up to a pillow case full of presents from Santa... Never too old.

[nzspokes]

Kinda got to agree with Katman. Had a good morning with my partners kids then got mine at 3 to keep for a week. :wings:

Got some nice stuff but having the family together is great. Tomorrow is get ready for camping some where in the middle of the island.

Have a rum in hand and my dogs sleeping next to me. Happy Days.

[MD]

Hard to call them Kids anymore and when you get 'well' into your 50s you don't expect much from the offspring. It's the thought that counts and just having them around the house still is awesome and made my Christmas day. One more year and both will have left the coop for good. Enjoy it while you can folks. They grow up fast.

I wasn't expecting anything exciting on the gift front so I popped in to Motomart yesterday and treated myself to a new lid. To be precise, when Dan the salesman asked if I was looking to buy a new helmet I replied, no I don't want to have to buy a new helmet. I WANT to buy the Bell transition helmet visor which a buddy got and loves. So while you're selling me the Bell transition visor, best I buy a helmet to go with it. They really work best as a package deal.

How times march on. I remember way back having to carry a second visor, one dark, one clear. Then along came internal dark visors. Now I fell for those but having a well endowed nose I noticed the poor thing still gets sunburned along with your cheeks.

Rode home with it and it's probably the quietest lid I've ever worn for wind noise. Visor sure does go dark real quick in light. Not sure what shape skull they modelled the internal shell on but Neanderthal caveman comes to mind. Bloody tight around the upper half of my skull. I went a size up compared to most other lids I've owned. It better 'break in' as they say.

[Berries]

New Shoei, old whisky and a promise.

[tigertim20]

My stuff came a bit early this year
RPHA10 helmet, New gloves, Full Ti Exhaust system and Dyno time, CRG rearsets, Lightweight underslung caliper and hanger, 12 year old whiskey, and 4 more Power tools Ive been wanting.

I bought my own stuff this year, Ive already got plenty of fucking socks and hankies

[awayatc]

Since all the hangers on have finally packed their bags and f***ed off.....
My better half ( better by miles) has taken up her bike riding again,
which pleases me endlessly.
The old 70's boxer the only available extra steed thus far..
As a token of my appreciation for her commitment to zoom around NZ on 2 wheels with me, I have (without her knowledge )bought a new to me BMW R1150R for her.....

South island here we come......
(I also took 3 months leave in the new year, so we can break bike in leisurely.....)

I have 2015 S1000RR. It has cruise control. Its a breeze and a blast to tour on. I think the S1000R also has cruise control. Best thing I have ever had on a sports bike.

Not when it is a puddle jumping hatchback. I've never known a car to pitch, yaw, roll and pogo hop through the corners so much. I did a 1k day ride on the bike back in Nov. I was more drained after this trip. Once upon a time I loved long trips. Getting older now.


did you hit them with something?:facepalm:

No, to be honest, this lot are probably the pick of the lot. Guess I'm still waiting for the xmas spirit to arrive. :weird:

Yeah, I just drove 1934kms to drop my daughters present off to her in Nelson. Then another 300kms yesterday up to Qtown and back. Roads were mostly good, traffic was mostly good, life is mostly good. And got some cool stuff from santa:Punk::Punk:

This is what my mate got for xmas day. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503450&objectid=11566721
She has multiple fractures incl pelvis and both her girls had minor injuries. The guy, a frenchman, bounced of her Hyundai and hit her husband as well who was driving the vehicle behind. They suspect that froggy, who died, may have dozed off at the wheel as he drifted across into my friends. Froggys wife is also critically injured.

[Brett]

Yamaha FX SHO Jet ski. Should make for some fun for the family. Also plenty of sweets and other unhealthy snacks. Got a nice bottle of Johnnie Walker Double Black too.

There is a unused 15a socket for a spa that I can remount.

There is no subsitute for cubes or in this case Kw's.

Got an ABBA superbike stand from my wife after some not so subtle hints. Came close to dropping the GSX-S trying to use the paddock stand which I bought for the Street Triple as the geometry is all wrong. The ABBA is fantastic - no effort required and completely stable. Have just ordered an attachment which lifts both wheels off the ground together.

Great service from the NZ distributor in Nelson too.

They are a clever stand. How is the GSX treating you?

Pretty good thanks - once I replace the OEM D214's :niceone: I've still got to set the suspension up properly which is part of the reason for the ABBA stand. The grunt is impressive but to be honest, the Street Triple took a heck of a lot of beating for the type of riding I do. If Triumph hadn't complicated the issue by strong hints of a Triple 800, I'd be the owner of a 675 RX by now instead of the Suzuki. Don't get me wrong, the Suzuki is a really nice bike - it's more a case of the Triple doing most things exceedingly well.

Thats pretty bloody cool indeed,havent seen one before,can i ask how much and the same for attachment your buying.

[Blackbird]

From memory, about $230 for the main stand and fittings, and another $125 for the front wheel lift attachment, plus postage. Fully interchangeable between bikes, all you need is the bike-specific fitting to go either over or inside the swing arm. Money well spent for peace of mind. Google ABBA stands NZ. There are also some good vids on YouTube.

[98tls]

Cheers...will do.

[Blackbird]

Cheers...will do.

98tls, the accessories for the ABBA stand arrived this morning - photos below. So easy to get both wheels off the ground and remain rock solid. The lifting strap can either go round bobbins if you have them or round the swingarm itself. Suspension extension measurements already taken ready to set the suspension up properly :niceone:
