Merry Christmas from the land of snow!

Cripes Terry, can't we figure out some sort of scam to make us all wealthy based on this time discrepancy thing, that's not illegal??

Hope you're having a good time with all the trimmings!

I love that card mate, beautiful! No presents opened yet, the family is covertly wrapping stuff as I sit here pretending not to notice, my box hasn't arrived from DSS yet (bloody Royal Mail!) and of course I've just bought that K0 seat so it'll be a week or so from arriving, but there are still a couple of interesting looking packages with my name on them under the tree, so all is well!

Merry Christmas to all! (and I want to see some pics of that TS250 Scunny, I've got a 1981 TS185 rotting in the garden, maybe I should "re-animate" it, ha ha! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Can we wish Terry a Happy Boxing Day yet?
Same to all our UK brethren, though a bit earlier I suppose.

Hey, my wife got me two new Spitfire S11's, a pair of Michellin tubes and some tire irons.
I love the smell of new rubber in the morning. Quite a romantic, that gal o' mine.
Somehow she knew just what I wanted.

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas Day in the UK (it’s also a public holiday and a day off work), most blokes go to the pub and watch football/horse racing on telly and drink lots of beer then the fighting starts early evening and continues until last orders……it’s a great British day out on the lash, much more fun than Christmas Day!  ;D

Merry Christmas All.  ;)

Bob “out on the lash” is an expression from my part of the UK for going out to the pub for an extended period of drinking beer. I expect the people who live in other parts of the country have an expression they use for the same activity.

Merry Crimbo Malc, I think the “lash” thing is probably from the nautical side of my city and it happened if you got back to the boat late after a few beers ….slave trade day’s I would  think,  but I guess it’s stuck.

Merry Christmas to all from KY. Got a new ICON Accelernt "Stealth" jacket. All black - leather and mesh with removeable liner, elbow, shoulder pads. I think it's last years style, it doesn't have all the ICON advertising on it and the price was good. Also some nice leather gloves. Yea  ;D ;D ;D

here's the TS250 for you Terry, would have preferred earlier than 79 but beggars can't be choosers. she started right up, spewing lovely 2 stroke smoke everywhere ( I've had the bike upside down  for a month working on it) only problem was when I revved it the revs just kept on climbing.....that's when I found out the kill switch doesn't work, had to jam the front wheel against the house and kick her into gear, me poor old heart was pitter pattering hoping the rear wouldn't suddenly grip and send me skyward.

Hey very nice mate, same color and shape as the 185 mouldering in my garden. Hey my cousin has a really old TS250 in his shed, more like 1969, I think? We were gonna sell it on EBay a couple of years ago (I sell his stuff as he doesn't like computers) but I think he still has it? I'm ging to his place tomorrow for New Years Eve, if it's still there, I'll take a pic for you! Cheers, Terry. ;D
