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.
