Yes the Bars open - Please have a drink on me!

It's my birthday, don't really celebrate them these days, had too many previous ones for that.
BUT................... Please all have a drink with me and an early New Year's drink.

I did get a rather unusual birthday card from Terri's sister and her husband.
Let me just explain, neither of them have ever had an interest in bikes, they may have seen my bikes over the years, but have never shown any other interest.

This was the card they sent -

How incredible is that, it was bought from a card shop!!??

A 2001 Falco, with a Skidmarx belly pan, a dark tint Skidmarx screen, and what looks like a Mille Yellow spring shock (mine is a white spring).
It also has accessory oval cans, (this time in black).

It was just picked up in a local card shop as it had a bike picture on it.
How incredible is that!!??

Evidently there are only 275 Falcos licenced and another 133 SORNED (incl mine).
There were just 55 registered in 2001 and the numbers with the same mods are probably in low single figures..... INCREDIBLE.

Any way have a drink on me and then have a great new year!

Happy birthday! Cards with bikes on is definitely a step up from the current trend of plastering pictures of small distantly related humans on everything.

Small glass of red for me as I've over indulged during Christmas - cheers! (if you believe that you'll believe anything).

I've occasionally found cards with bikes on, but they are usually Harleys as the non-riding public seem to think there is no other kind of bike!

Happy Birthday .... and Well Done for reaching another one !

I'll join you for a drink - I think a Leffe Nectar ... followed by a Leffe Ruby would be a great celebration.

That card is random and a bit cool.
Your barfday and end of the year (almost) combined so I'll drink to that.
Actually that card is way beyond a bit cool, Happy Birthday to you and Happy New Year to all
