What you getting your bike for Christmas???

Wonda-Boy

Seen this on another site taught it would be good to stick it up here.....anyone getting anything "NICE" for there 2 wheeled baby for xmas.

I am getting a set of HID's fitted by the chap I bought the bike off, doing me a very good deal on them. Need something coming into the dark dark 4pm evenings.

Anyone else?

New chain and Sprox tomorrow morning along with steering head bearings and then soon enough Osram nightbreakers should be arriving

two new front discs, pads and a shim job......

Nothing, need to save for a repair and respray of the fairings due to the damage done when the bike was knocked over by scumbags! Damage is minimal but its going to cost me at least 250.

Nice. Just the end cans and not the full system? What price are you looking at to replace them

Blondie919

I gave mine an early xmas present last month of heated grips. Some time in the new year I'll give it a present of a new front tyre.

cantdecide

I've done so much for my bike this year I'm bloody well expecting it to sort me out

BlackWizard

I'm getting mine serviced this week. I usually do it all myself but I'm treating the bike to some tlc from a garage.

p_mac

Last month had to replace front pads, get a new shock :O was time for a front tyre also... be lucky if it gets an oil change for Xmas!

Going well for an 11 year old Deauville with 74k on the clock though! Touch wood!

Lads with the dark evenings i'd love to beef up the lights, was thinking of HID's... had em on a car years ago but don't know much about the bike ones. just saw em mentioned there... any advice??? possible Xmas pressie for dulville...

Do it. It's been a few years since I've bought any so I don't which are the best kits at the moment but I can assure you that you won't regret it. Loads of room to fit it on a dullville. Turn night into day and make you much more visible on the lazy sunny days when you get people going half to sleep on the roads.

prunudo

I might build her a nice new covered in area if I can get the materials before the suppliers close up for the holidays. But bar that it will be just getting a good clean.

Timmaay

Mines finally getting a good hard riding ha, 1st time back out on a track in about 18months!

batman_oh

VRT'd the KTM and got a GoPro HD Hero 3+ Silver edition. Doing a lot of work on the house so that's the lot for now. Will need new tyres for both and a valve clearance check done on the KTM when I have money again!

Thankfully there's feck all left to modify

I got mine back today from a service. He tightened up what needed to be tightend an greased up anything that needed it. Sorted out the sticky calipers too and a few other bits. Sure the bike its driving much nicer now. Its deffo like a christmas present!

Tigger

My Da gave me a ktm 950 sm for Christmas
He bought it new in 08 but he's 73 so he reckons he should ride something a bit less licence loosing cos they take you license at 73 if you are hooning too much
I'm happy and sad at the same time.

I love these. Rode one over the Himalayas last year. I''m hoping to pick up a project Bullet in the near future.

@Tigger, what about a RE Continental GT? He must be reasonably limber if he was riding that SM around!! Reminds me of a chap in his eighties that still competes in MX down my way!!

...there was one for sale in Galway a while ago. Not sure if it sold or not.

minidazzler

Got my Chain, Sprockets and Steering Head bearings done today. The diffence in steering is so huge! I didn't think it would be that big a thing! FCUK They had it done under the time they quoted too and told me, so I didn't get charged for an extra hour


Incidentally, thanks cantdecide for the offer of the chain breaker, just had Lee do it since I was getting work done anyway Didn't particularly want to be out in the cold

Still waiting on my nightbreakers, but they shouldn't be too long, then the last big job is sorting out my Speedo, but that's a bigger job than any because I'm not particularly sure what's wrong :pac:

Tis the season to be Jolly for me

No bodders bud.

It definitely wouldn't have been been down on your knees in the freezing cold today! Ride safe man.

Oh they don't go on DD without me finding them pretty quickly :pac: I'd like to get one next year but I have a job hunt followed by a house hunt before I can even think about taking the plunge. They're fantastic value for what you get IMO so I know once the cash is there, I won't think too much about whether to strike or not.

I would like to give my bike a new owner for xmas.
