Merry Christmas back at you.
Hopefully it's a quiet day for you and your family and at the end, you can sneak out for a quiet little ride on your bike :D

Same for you all, Richard, Aaron, Steve! 🎁???🎅🎄
Ride safely. Smile while you ride. ;D Wear eye protection 8) :-*
Speaking of that: Back in London I came off like 7 times or so. Never hurt once. Always had my Xis gear on (need to get it out, can't be sure of its name, is Swiss stuff, includes airbag even, REALLY ;D)
In Spain once (hurt the leg a little), in Portugal once (didn't hurt, but broke some parts of the bike).
In the other countries never (yet).
So, why in London so often, you wonder?
You have many nutty people there: turning from standstill at the red light, without looking, coming in wrong lane, drunk, ON PHONE, and all the crap, you know.
I was safe enough to never get hurt, a) for the gear), b) for having been a member of the Advanced Police Motorcyclists there.
Training does help. Gear even more.
Where I am currently (don't even dare to mention, ashamed), I never wear gear. Many reasons. But I know it's foolish. Then again, no one here would care about me. lol
PS: No I am not going naked. Not yet. ;D Just jeans or shorts. :o
PPS: Reminds me of Ecuador: Motorbikers there didn't even wear a helmet. Was no law, back then. My host woman was an Emergency hospital doctor. She told me stuff, not pleasant.
"What the ... has that to do with your Xmas wishes??" - Yeah, I don't know either ;D Crazy me.

Speaking of gear, my racing leathers FINALLY came in !! Took them long enough but I got them just in time, thanks Dainese.
I have to break them in a bit, holy crap are they tight!!
Maybe losing a few pounds will help too :-X ;D
