Did you get any biking bling for Christmas?

I didn't (but didn't ask for anything either). But when you already have the Silver Framed proper Wee then what else could you need.

I bought myself a new lid just before Christmas, if that counts.

I was fortunate enough to get two pairs of RST gloves off Santa. A nice light summer pair and a slightly chunkier autumn/spring pair. No need for winter gloves - if it's not sunny the bike doesn't come out !

No.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

I was sure that I dropped enough hints, even left a Cardo Scala Bluetooth in my eBay basket. Nothing doing.

Whisky is good though......

Wife got me a givi tank lock tank bag and the ring thing to fit it to my glee. Really nice bit of kit and took minutes to fit. Very pleased with it.

Aprillia mirrors for Veek, yet to fit them. More cosmetic than any other reason.

I hinted that I'd like a Panigale V4 but strange as it may seem this was misinterpreted and I got a very nice coaster (for my coffee cup) with a picture of an R1.
