Anything Special You Want For Christmas?

[notebookgirl]

Sorry for your loss swiftdog.

I just hope everyone has a happy holiday season whatever they are celebrating.

For me, I just want my kids and hubby to be happy and healthy.

Ok, one more selfish wish...I don't want it to snow A LOT this year. Just a little is fine and not on the roads. Just enough to kill all the germs and bugs.

I want to be as healthy as a horse.....just watch, I will get my wish and end up like old Betsy being sent to the knacker yard or the glue factory..sighs*

I hope you are as healthy as a healthy horse.

I didn't have anything in mind to ask for. But my car has been handling funny the last few days, started very suddenly. So I want it to not be something serious that costs a lot to fix.

...ball joints, tie rod ends, bad tire?.....

Aww, swiftdog2.0, I'm so sorry about your dog-buddy. It is so, so hard when they leave, even though it is always worth it. When you're ready, I hope you find an equally wonderful new friend. The best thing about having pets, whether in this world with us or waiting for us in the next, is that they show us how there is always room for more love in our hearts.

That's what roughage will do to you.

It's a Triumph Something-or-Other. I haven't checked the stats. Whatever I buy next will have to not be very heavy but big enough, so I dunno what it oughta be.

The Bonneville was the Everyman bike of its day. Not steroidal-imbued like the Sportster or even the Norton. And it was eclipsed by something as simple as the Honda 450, which had double the technology and abilities with less displacement. And then a couple years later, the Honda 750 Four changed the world.

My second-to-last bike was a Honda 750 Nighthawk. Black. It was what you're talking about. Not heavy, but big enough. Plenty of power for the highway, but still nimble. Good for a short outing or a quick trip for groceries or an extra hour on a Saturday morning. I had my "dream bike" with the ST1300, but if I get back on two wheels again, it'll be on something closer to that basic 750 Honda.
