It's Christmas. What did you and yours get?

We were very lucky and after being so good, received a new pazon Altair and a pair of JS ccarbs. Not allowed to go out and fit them yet though.. Need to do it before the boxing day run though... Merry Christmas to all you lucky commando owners.. Remember they're for life, not just Christmas.....

I got a 72 Combat and a pair of JS Carbs. My wife bought me the Combat...which was delivered 2 months ago....but the JS Carbs are going on the bike tomorrow. Woohoo!

Better than getting up early.... Just need to sneak out now and fit them... Then wake the neighbours. And believe me they deserve it.....

Got nothing bike related. instead, we're going to visit friends in kansas. She's had brain tumor treatment and will be undergoing chemo after Christmas; he's drifting away with Alzheimers.

So, we're abundantly thankful that we are healthy and well with a house full of kids and grandkids.

...bikes are secondary.

A set of RGM alloy yokes showed up this morning, thanks much to our own hobot. Now to find time to fit them, that could be a while.

I am personally grateful for everyone's health & safety. For me, it might be new handlebars like on CNW #76. So there.

I picked up my motor and gearbox yesterday from the shop for my 74 Commando. I won't be ready for the most improved, but there is always next year!! Merry Christmas to all!

Not much for me, just a spoke wrench, primary chain measuring tool & a NOS R.H. handlebar dip-switch cluster. Merry Christmas Norton enthusiast's!!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays fellow Nortoneers! Even though we sometimes boast there are 365 riding days here in Florida, we actually do get temps in the 30's and 40's in January and February. Accordingly, Ms. Claus placed leather riding pants under the tree last night...now there's no excuse not to get out when weekend cold fronts arrive.

I went for a short ride Saturday, it's supposed to be even warmer today, so I may try it again. What a Christmas, it should be like this every year!!!

Santa is being very generous here in Oceanside, in Southern California.

Woke up this morning with warm sun, clear blue skies, and mountain roads awaiting. Today's high will be about 75 degrees F. The Mark 3 is in the driveway, pointed in the right direction and waiting for me.

Doesn't get any better!!!

Barend mirrors. These are the Cat Eye ones. For bicycles, I think. Plastic and about $6. Hopefully they won't flop around. And I won't cry when the first one breaks off. :mrgreen:

Woke up this aft. with a hangover from the Xmas eve. Reveiller gathering involving wines and Tortiere Quebecoise (meat pies). Alma gave me a gift certificate for all the Negra Modellos I can drink on the rooftop bar of the Holiday Inn in Downtown Mexico City overlooking the Zocalo with the world's largest flag below us. She got a gift certificate for 20 minutes go-carting the new track overlooking our skyline with C.N Tower. Big feast this eve.
