21st Century Christmas List

In a move that stunned me, my mother has requested that I post my Christmas
list online. Now this is a great move because I can hotlink directly to items that
I want so that there is no question what I am talking about.  This should prevent
a request for slippers ending up with rabbit ears on my feet.

As I also have no doubt that the rest of the worlkd would truly love
to know what my heart felt desires are this year, I will comply and here is the list.

Items that I want that are impractical

• XM MyFi Radio
  
  This thing is far too expensive, but man is this great technology or what?  Satellite
  radio in a walkman package, this would allow me to listen to the same radio station
  on a coast to coast motorcycle trip or to play it in the house.  Hopefully the
  price will fall over the next year.

• Hawke Oiler
  
  Pezioelectricly actuated oiler.  Awesome.  Push button chain oiling with
  no leaky puddles under your parked bike.

• To sell my automotive fleet
  
  I have 2 old cars that depserately need to leave my life.  Interested?

• New Shoei
  Helmet
  
  I will need to actually do this in the spring.  Never skimp on the lid! 
  I really like quiet, but the ear buds should take care of that.  This time I
  am going for quality, but I can’t live without the flip up visor.

Real Christmas List

• House
  Slippers
  
  No bunny ears, please.  My current slippers are shredded as I tend to wear them
  outside too much. So, something like these so that an occasional jaunt outside won’t
  ruin them.

• Earbud
  Headphones
  
  These would be so much nicer in my helmet than the hard ones that I wear now. 
  Here are the Noise
  Cancelling ones, which would be great, but are too expensive.

• Ratchet Wrenches
  
  Aren’t these great?  These things will fit in lots of tight spaces in
  which other wrenches are just too tight.  Removing drivelines, for instance.

• A New Robe
  
  Having become more “formidable” since my last robe prchase, I need a new
  robe that won’t expose the naughty bits to the neighbors.

• Hand
  warmers for the handlebars
  
  These are cheap and generic kinds.  Special Triumph ones are 6 times the cost.

• Trivial
  Pursuit – 90’s Edition
  
  Relive the decade of grunge, Clinton and Y2K paranoia.

• Tubeless
  Tire Repair Kit
  
  The Stop n Go Gun Kit is about the best one out there.  This would get me home
  even with a flat.  Priceless.

• Acerbis
  Rally Pro Handguards
  
  Jay has thse on his bike and they are much better than the flimsy stock ones. 
  They would actually protect your controls in a crash.  Yellow, please.

• Cycle Computer
  
  Trail Tech is the only way to go here. These guys make a great product.

• Hyper
  Lights
  
  For safety sake, these can’t be beat.  They really make you stand out when you
  are stopping and that can help a LOT when you are in traffic.
