Thank you one and all for our kind words, it has helped me a lot.. Crissy greets to you all. Lyn.

Merry Christmas everyone.

My first thought was to nip out before Mandi got out of bed but I'm prob still over the limit and it's bloody freezing out there. Merry Christmas.

You might ride something shaped like a missile after you arrive at your boyfriends house in the hairdresser mobile.

Picture I just took in the borders.

I don’t take many pictures, I’m pretty sure this was this year.

At the request of our two youngest, home from uni or a couple of weeks we have done Christmas at home, just the 5 of us this year. being skint ( as ever) we just did really cheapo gifts this year, but as meny as possible, individually wrapped under the tree so that here was a huge pile of them. I think a pocket knif that the 3 girls clubbed together for and gave to me was the most expensive one on the year. We had beer, wine and nibbles till late last night, did the presents this morning and had a proper Christmas dinner with Poularde Roti, Gratin Dauphinoise, ( that's roast fat chicken and spuds in cream sauce to you along with broccoli, yorkshire pudding and gravy. preceeded by aperitifs and accompanied by a nice local red wine. Now I am doing my best imitation of a beached whale on the sofa...

I have actually very few pics of the bike this year, I've done quite a bit of riding but more often than not in a group this year, as I now work more social hours. I have also done a lot more leading a group as well which also makes photo stops more complicated. I took this one whilst waiting for the others to turn up for our Vosges trip, back in May.

Undecided between these, but for now it’s the one with the camels

Lazy sheep shagging twat!

My current favourite, the £500 Triumph

I will, can’t see myself ever selling it. I can’t believe they have pulled the plug on the FTR. Sitting down in the evening while my wife is watching some inane film I occasionally browse through the for sale adds … and keep coming back to FTR’s, wouldn’t mind one of the early ones with the asymmetric wheel sizes.

A merry christmas to all on the forum

Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy your alcohol, chocolate and under pants.

Bah Humbug to all. first white Christmas i can remember, started falling about 7 last night and still on the ground now, about half an inch.

To you all.

Sounds like your pulling my leg you cunt...lol

Merry Christmas one and all, and a healthy and happy new year...

Can't tell if its horizontal with this phone...let me know Pedro.

Just been out for a ride and the clutch slip has gone. Rebuilding the slave cylinder cured it Still got the tick over to sort out, kept it going today by just keeping the choke slightly cracked. Not ideal but good enough to check the clutch out. Oh and heated grips are a necessity came back shivering like a shit house rat today.

Thats about the best i have....

Just been out on my Triumph, it has sand and some read splatter on it, not dirty but still trying not to think about it.

I would check the known faults, that's why I would get another Dacia, know what to look for, and keep my present one for spares if needed.

Spending Christmas with my mum and my brother, just us three tonight. Day after tomorrow meeting with Sofia for a few days, and would like to take the bike and spend a full day to get there. Thinking of washing it in a bit, it's dirty from rain on the motorway and it's sunny out, but chilly so might not do it. I'm embarrassed to be on the same forum as @Saul

Been and filled the car with £35 of Asda,s finest E10, ventured into the shop for a few fresh vegetables, with luck we can avoid the place till the Saturday after New Year. Wish I had the enthusiasm for cleaning my car like @Saul has, mine is filthy on the outside and just as bad inside too, Been weighing up my options, i will run the car till mid summer, then look for a (cheap) car (most likely another Dacia) with a full years MOT on it, what with the rear axle, clutch and exhaust, it is kinda (getting/got) beyond worth the outlay.......I know it's a shitbox, but it has been a good car for the years I have had it. Merry Christmas to you lot.

Quiet family dinner for Me and the Mrs with the 3 kids and How High so six of us in the end. Crackers and party hats the whole deal. I laughed when How High suggested games after dinner all three of my kids said: “No we don’t play games with Dad”. I don’t believe in competing unless it’s to win. Shadow has inherited that from me, the other two not so much Everyone is in a food coma apart from Shadow who is kicking How Highs ass in a game on the computer. Of course she is I got a good haul of prezzies, triumph shirt 3 hats, a pack of Nordic socks and an armoured bike Hoodie. All stuff I actually wanted. Kids and how high all got what they wanted and more. I bought the Mrs a set of tyres for her X3 which is what she asked for, still feel a bit guilty I never got her something else even after spending £400 on her. Women are good at that sort of thing. Been a bloody lovely Christmas much like we used to have when the kids were small.

call him a twat from me mate .

Well I got a nice Harley sweatshirt and a cigar punch from my mother. I am just about to test the cigar punch.
