My Christmas season has been spent looking after Mrs. Hook w/ her new knee...gotta admit that I'm proud of her for doing well w/ her recovery. Seeing consistent increments of improvement everyday. Kind of anxious to see how well she'll be doing by our anniversary in Feb. Hopefully be mobile enough to do a day trip to Hermiston to see my Great G-son by then...

First thing you've said that makes sense.

@Buckster @Vamana Gupta Thanks for the relationship advice lads , while I appreciate it is coming from a good place I'm not sure if either of you are best placed to give it.

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

What's with you two ? You and Ian seem to be obsessed with gay sex , I think you should rent a motel room , go and pick up @Buckster with the miata and take care of your fantasies...we don't need to hear details or videos...

Merry Christmas everyone.

Picture I just took in the borders.

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

A merry christmas to all on the forum

My current favourite, the £500 Triumph

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.

Well this old man got some great news today....My son has made it back to OR & is finally out of Israel! Got a text reply from him today telling me he'll be state-side for another year while he waits for his top-secret security clearance to clear before he heads off to Germany into more of an Administrative position w/ the company he works for....No More sand people & war zones to work in! He also told me that my oldest G-son is moving back to OR from NM....so I called him straight away to get the low-down. His job w/ NASA turned out to be a dead end...so he sold his house in NM & scored a job w/ Amazon at a new data center in Hermiston OR...just over an hour away from Elgin ....he starts the 12th of Jan. I'm so stoked & I can't wait to see my Great G-son...he's a beautiful boy & an absolute Chip Off The Old Block....

The Lurgy seems to be releasing its grip, so I may try a walk to Tesco later.......and the Christmas tree and decs are coming down tomorrow too! Bah Humbug

Hello!! Here is my contribution for 2025 motorcycling images! It was a good biking year! That's why I haven't visited you very much here. Wishing you all the best in 2026 and may it bring Adventure, happy kms, new memories and lots of love!

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.

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.

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

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.

Looks like I am a clever twat, unlike you dullards.

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

Congratulations me, unfortunately I cannot display the title as I need to figure out how to add it to admin.

You'd just go and win that aswell

My missus loves the whole Xmas thing and one year we had a ‘heated discussion’ about the merits of decorations……she got the hump and took them all down on Boxing Day while I was out on my bike……..didn’t bother me in the slightest but you should have seen the disappointment on her face for the next week or so.

And it’s clean again….

It’s because of comments like that you were elected twat of the year.

Sounds like Dan is the one who should pull out if you were worried about your guts.

Dude! You spend the winter with your buddies in the woods bumming each other, no wonder you are self conscious.

So xmas is all about getting even ......

As opposed to that red dot?

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

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

Thats about the best i have....

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.

My Mrs reckons I have got some sort of 'ism' but then again she is a cheeky bitch. I like shiney car and bikes, not fussed about expensive cars or bikes as long as they are interesting, work well and clean.

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

And dont forget racing. Merry Christmas yama

Indeed!....MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my fellow 2-Wheelers! & may 2026 bring a lot more RIDING--

That's vertical. That's horizontal. Nicely done, Marcel!

Boys and mom should be arriving around 4 pm , super and opening gifts afterwards...that's about it for today...

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.

It's not a problem , I think nearly everyone on here knows you're a twat ..................
