Well as its getting closer all the time, I thought I'd be the first to wish all my friends, contacts and everyone here at the riders site a very Merry Xmas and a happy New Year to you all
Hope you all have a great time and let's look forward to another year of great biking, and good times

Was thinking on the way home it must be time to wish one and all Seasons Greetings, so you beat me to it by a few hours.
Hope you all have a good'n.

I'm beginning to feel Christmassy after going to see two Nativity plays - one grandchild in each.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Don't know what you're on about Greg, we had a proper summer it was feckin wet as usual, but not as wet as 2007.
You're upsettin us again Dale.
I'm supposed to be off for some sun the weekend after next, to Frigiliana in Andalucia, but it's been rainin there for most of the last two weeks, and not too hot at the moment, so I hope it bucks up a bit.
Then again, 40 is a bit warm for me mate!
Anyway Happy Christmas to you all wherever you are!

I rode the bike yesterday in that heat. It was rather warm.
EDIT: Oh, and a very Merry Christmas to everyone, too!
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

and from myself - good will to all
(apart from tony blair - hope he gets piles)
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

The name isn't actually very encouraging is it?

Suppose not, but it's one of the old Andalucian White villages about 10 minutes drive inland from Nerja. Renting a villa a bit further inland from the village, this will be the 3rd year we've stayed at this time.
Been really relaxing in the past.
