All Right i will give in and be the first.

A Merry Christmas to all and lets hope for a prosperous New Year.
Regards Bryan

If you must imbibe excessively do it leaning on a wall, that way you only slide down to the horizontal not crash!!!

I usually just slide down whatever wall I've run into. Same effect. Cheers...

Merry ChristmaHanaKwanzaFestivus to all!!!

I'm just hoping to avoid getting knocked the #$^#$ out like last year.  Drunken wrestling with siblings near solid nickel furniture has been outlawed in my house forever by both my wife and mother.  Dad thought it was funny after the fact but the ladies still haven't recovered.  Where's there sense of adventure??? ;D

Happy festivus! Sounds like someone took the airing of grievances a bit too far.
Hopefully everyone has dragged the pole out of the crawlspace by now.

On that pic the one thing that must first happen is alot of americans need to lose some belly before we all can become cyclists. I am going to start trimming up for my second trip of the ms150 next september...... Hopefully I can get the century patch for riding 100miles in one day......

The holidays are a great time to reflect on those things for which one's grateful.  The forum (this here place) is important to me.  I've picked up friends and lots of great information and parts.  It has become part of my life.  I am grateful for it.  Thanks all.  Merry Christmas.

Merry whatever you believe in from the colonies, with any luck I will be out on my boat fishing for Xmas day.
Try to stay upright esp if you are on two wheels. ;D

 ;D ;D ;D Look how disciplined he has found his line. He must anticipate with joy the descend ahead , where his weight will be an advantage. Or maybe not? This question has been a debate for years with friends here. Does a cyclist have an advantage when he, after he has reached the summit, adds extra weight on his bike just before he descends.  :-\

Ah, ummm, now that's a tough act to follow. :o

The best of holiday wishes to all and may the new year bring you what you need if not what you want. Oh, hell, let it bring what you want and more!!!JimgleJ

And a very special thank you to so many of you who post regularly for all your help, insight, patients and inspiration this past year. After a long hiatus, I'm back two-wheelin', having a great time and spending some real quality time with my son keeping our vintage bikes safe and road worthy.

Life is good!

Anyhow, Merry Christmas!  I got a new riding shirt, plug wrenches, shorty shocks (again!), and some fudge.  Is this a great life or what? ;D 

Send some nice thoughts to out troops; lovely, patient wifey told me the other day my brother-in-law is going back East.  Two tours in Vietnam, 2 tours in Iraq, next up is Afganistan.

Later guys!
