Topic: What great biking presents did you get?

[lordmoonpie]

OK so it's probably a bit early except for our Antipodean friends but as I already had one great biking present so far I thought I'd see what you guys also got that was a top class bikers gift?

I'll start it off - my father in law has an appreciation of my obsession so he kindly paid for a huge crank roller bearing for my XV750 rebuild. Pretty cool Christmas pressie in my book

The Wife bought me a cb350f. I had been storing it for one of her friends and told her to ask the gal if she'd sell it since it was obvious she wasn't going to ride after it sat for a year. A few days later there was a title in my stocking. I'll post pics once I uncover it. It needs a super deep cleaning but's it's not missing anything so I'm thinking I'll just getting it running right and ride it as is.

A Goldwing!

Major Wiffy points!  She wants to ride too and knows that riding 2-up on either of my SOHC4 bikes prolly won't work.  So she gave me a budget and said to go forth and buy!  Found a nice '82 GL1100 Interstate full dresser.  Needing some wrenching, but that's just fine with me!

My wife is getting me a small MIG welder.     Not exactly bike specific because I will use it for cars too. but I is Happy!

[redsoxnation]

Tommorrow I will be getting a Pamco elctronic ignition, new coils and Iridium spark plugs. The '78 750K should be a firing breathing dragon - I hope.

 In the past, but NEVER for Christmas;
 A Kawi 900 chopper with a gooseneck, plunger frame..
 A few Honda 750s needing work..
 A Speedway mini bike..

 probably more I cant think of right now..

You have the wrong holiday for that,  Alan

I bought myself a Makita 3/8 drive 18v impact wrench. Handy as can be and no air compressor noise   Wish I had one years ago...Larry

I snuck down the stairs early and found Santa has left a complete OEM Honda tool kit for my 1980 CBX.    With a pouch!  The pouch is shot, but there is enough there for a pattern.  I can probably make one up that will be pretty close to the original once I find suitable material.  Really neat kit like this (#9):

I got a RapidAir kit for the garage. Kinda like wiring the garage with air lines and quick connect boxes where ever you want to route them. Plug in your air compressor in one location and leave it there.

        Didn't get anything for the Bikes, but tomorrow may see me getting a start on having a 440 6pk engine (in the way of a shortblock and an aluminum Edlebrock 3 duece intake) for a build I'm Dodge Dakota planning. Then, IF that works out, I can work on saving up for the rest of it. Don't need it ALL right away, gotta get the '92 Dakota Standard Cab ready for a 440/727 install (it's getting a 440, whether it's a 6pk or not).

      Here is the truck, it it's ugly state, for now:

Hmmm, father in law gave me this early. He didn't come round as planned for Christmas lunch so we took a ride up to him to see what the delay was. He had one last surprise for me - he was dead on the kitchen floor. We only buried my step-father in law two weeks earlier. Christmas sure did suck this year even though he got me a great present. Rest in peace Pete, we'll all miss you big fella....

   Whoa! Simon, THAT was a hellofa shock I'm sure. That's too bad about Pete, I'm sure he was something else. My heart goes out to you and the Family.

How to I collect my prize?   I picked it up right away, still listen to Alice's Restaurant once in awhile. A classic piece to say the least...Larry

How to I collect my prize?

Good question, print it out I guess.     

I still listen to it once in a while too, gotta keep in touch with that stuff.

Great song, Crappy Movie. It is soooooooooo depressing you just want to put your head under a truck tire.


Now, so I don't hijack this thread,

I got a gift card for my local BMW dealer that I am going to use to buy a Gerbing's heated jacket liner, gloves, and dual thermostat so I can ride as soon as the snow melts later this week.

Waterproof boots! No more wet feet from ridin in the rain!!  but the big thing was my mom and kids were all here for the holiday. Last time we were all together at the same time was when my son got out of basic in 03. Got a really nice pic of him in his dress blues sportin his sergeant stripes along with his expert rifle and pistol badges. Proud parent of a U.S. Marine!

Sorry about your Father in law, Simon. It seems a bigger thing when it happens during the holidays. My dad died a little after Christmas in 97, a couple days shy of his 71st birthday. In spite of the things that kept us apart, he was a sailor before he was a soldier, I got my love of the sea and motorcycles from him, and I'm eternally grateful. Put that XV together and think of Pete when your out on the road...and best wishes for the new year.

     My birthday is just 5 days after Christmas, so the two tend to run together. Today my sweety came home and saw that I'd had a typical Monday, and decided to give me my birthday present early and gave me a $150.00 gift certificate to Sport Tour Ltd.     I get new boots this weekend!
