Ho Ho Ho That time of year again...
« on: 21.12. 2021 13:30 »
Ho, Ho, Ho, Yes, it is getting on for that time of year when Santa needs to empty his bulging sack. It may contain a RGS frame, a nos SR motor, 4 spring clutch, SRM catalogue, SRM voucher for free roller bearing conversion, a rare Eddie Dow alloy primary chain oiler, a lathe or two, free subscription to OBM, even a years supply of Viagra…. and a whole lot more….If Santa is to give you one for Christmas, what will be your pleasure? Keep it clean please, no smut or innuendos this is a most respectable forum. Thank you and Merry Christmas - keep safe.

Aye RDfella, may he deliver that, and you be in good health to enjoy many more years of this great hobby.

Unfortunately for me, it is getting that time to think about selling up before I lose the plot and incable of stopping the kids from dumping the lot in a skip.  I presume it is the decay genetics taking its vile course of bio-degradeable.  Hell, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.  Talking of bio-degradeable, at least British Leyland were the bench mark that other manufactures aspired to, they were green long before a Green Party evovled and returning their cars swiftly to nature.

Have fun keep riding and boating....

Well, if you've been nice and not naughty this year, you should get all of your wishes. 👍

To be honest, I'm so pleased to get an antique Myford lathe that I don't care too much what else I get. 😁

I'm more interested in Easter when the resurrection of BSA might be happening. Roll on the release dates for the new BSA's  *clap* .  In the meantime parts for the BSA'a are a year long  event worth celebrating  *beer* *beer*

Having a New Years day run on the bike with the local BSAOC lads is good enough for me right now.

Gosh Peter,
Bad news; I couldn't match the speed of your Honda at Orabandon 2021.
Merry Christmas to you as well!

Now if you had been riding a BSA at the time I would have been really impressed. Meanwhile, it's naughty stool next to 865 for you...
