| 103276 | 2002-12-05 09:28:00 | I don't know if this will cheer you all up or really p**s you all off, but here goes. I HAVE been a good girl this year and Santa has already visited me - he brought me a new motorcycle. So I haven't caught up with all these weird stories because I've been out riding! But the forecast for the weekend is rain - so I'll have to do SOME work! | write-click (2248) | ||

| 103280 | 2002-12-30 08:45:00 | Sorry Billy, been out riding every day and forgot to come back to the site! I got a BMW F650CS, gold-orange in colour with all the works - ABS, heated grips (not necessary at present!) - and Santa followed up with a Givi top box on Christmas Day! Did 1200kms in the first week of riding, done another 500kms since - enjoying it very much, particularly now the fine weather has arrived. Sorry to keep you in suspense Billy! |

| 103281 | 2002-12-30 21:29:00 | Actually Write-Click, I was bemused by =JM='s question because you already said you got a motorcycle from Santa. However, a BMW motorcycle is something else again and what I'd like to know is how you managed to get in that good with Santa!!! Cheers Billy <[8-{) :D |

| 103282 | 2003-01-23 23:03:00 | Sorry Billy, you may not even see this as it's been a while! (Too much fine weather, too many roads to ride!) I must confess to a little white lie, Santa did not bring me my motorcycle... I bought it myself! Long story - short version is a relative left me some money so I thought I'd treat myself - it arrived 27 November so was a very early Christmas present. The top box WAS for Christmas though, suppose you could call my other half Santa, he's pretty good with gifts! I always make a point of buying myself something for Christmas so that no matter what I get from others, there is at least one present I really like - although it's normally something smaller like perfume or a book! The bike is gorgeous, although I am getting a little tired of men coming up to me and saying "is that yours?" Would I be throwing my leg over it if it wasn't! I let my boyfriend ride it the other day and a mate called out "hey, that's a girl's bike!" to which he replied "yes, and she let me ride it!" It's not really a girl's bike though, a woman's maybe! | write-click (2248) | ||
| 103283 | 2003-01-24 00:08:00 | Whaddaya mean "might not see this" write-click? True F1 addicts miss nothing:D I wouldn't complain about throwing my leg over your BMW either. Since when did excellence in engineering condemn a motorcycle to "women only" status? If you ever (god forbid) feel the need to compete I suggest you add some studs to your leathers, get some painful and suitably gross body piercings, get a decent set of tatts all over (but especially your face) and take lessons in deleted expletives. Add some ex-military hardware to the over-all image then go out and monster the posers on their bulked out Harleys. If it came to a fast and safe run between two points over winding roads I'd put my money on the Beemer any day. Cheers Billy 8-{) P.S. Santa is where you find him. I'd rather believe in Santa than the Tooth Fairy, she is notably mean. He paid off my second mortgage once under similar circumstances so I'm with you on that one. |

| 103284 | 2003-02-04 10:32:00 | Had to laugh at your post Billy. I got into a bit of strife with a guy at our toy run in December when he noticed my Beemer had a belt drive and said it was just like a Harley. I pointed out that it had abs brakes and could corner well so it was nothing like a Harley, which for some reason offended him! He proceeded to abuse me, telling me he was sick of people who didn't know what they were talking about mouthing off and that he would leave me for dead on the open road! As my mother would say, all mouth and trousers! I have overtaken plenty of Harleys in my time, including one guy who thought I was riding a 400 (it was an RG150!) and several patched gang members - who straight away overtook me again to prove a point! The Beemer I have is one of those models that people either love or hate, and it is very different from most bikes on the road right now - the closest is the Bimota Mantra - so it does attract a lot of attention. And being gold is perhaps why some people think it is a girly bike! But I bet none of them would object if I threw them the keys! Basically, who cares what you ride, as long as you ride?! And the tooth fairy? Long time since I've seen her, but I have an intimate acquaintance with the Easter Bunny! | write-click (2248) | ||
