Motorcycle Stuff for Christmas?

[oldbike54]

Besides scotch and cigars, I got a Dewalt cordless drill.  Variable speed, reversible, and titanium bits.

Sorry I didn't have them last time you were here Dusty.  Seems like I already paid for it considering Home Depot rental fees.   

BTW- Happy New Year Dusty!   


BOOMER!!!!!!!!!   

 Same to ya John , tell Bev to slow down and enjoy 2018

Yeah, I am pretty lucky with Bev.  I am not fooling anyone about who does the heavy lifting here.

In addition to my TomTom computerized get-lost gizmo, I got some good motorsickle books.

“Physics for Gearheads,” by Randy Beikmann, who works at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds up in Michigan.

“Riding with Rilke,” by Ted Bishop.

And then there is Candiya Mann’s “On Grief, Hope, and Motorcycles.”   I’m about half-way through this one, but quite impressed so far.  Excellent description of gut-punching grief and a brave woman’s struggle to deal with it.

Farkles for the Stornello.

Mopeds got nothing.

Presents for the bikes, well not really. Repair parts yes.

Well I guess I did buy a present for the Harley. The adapter and lenses to make the rear turn signals brake/turn/running lights. I do like a bit of light back there for the cagers to see me better over their phones

A calendar entitled superbikes, with pictures of Moto GP bikes, thats not too bad the other calendar had Jowetts

Proof that you can lead a horse to water, but that doesn't make it a hippopotamus.    :Beating_A_Dead_Hors e_by_liviu: <--- also not a hippopotamus

I am generally not a fan of aftermarket exhaust because of the increased noise, but that exhaust should have come on that bike.  Very nice! 

I guess this means and I am even less of the fan of huge mufflers on one side of a motorcycle.

Wife got me the Euro turn signals and mirrors for the Stelvio put them on last night will take them out for a ride today hope to be able to see whats behind me from now on.

and.....you'll look the part.

and feel it too. While textiles are more practical, it just feels better to me whenever I can wear leather.

I hear they are expensive to feed. You may be better off without one.
