So far I have a speeding ticket, two punctures in my rear tire, my voltage regulator died stranding me with a dead battery, my favorite firearm got destroyed, and my wife let me know that she's tired of having crappy holidays. It might be a bit too late for that. My boy has some decent stuff waiting for him and that's enough for me. As long as everyone is healthy and relatively happy I'm ok. Hope things are better for ya'll. | ||

Sorry to hear Rick, hope it gets better for ya. Not much to be done about those rear tire holes, I replaced three rears in a 12 month period due to nails and other misc crap on the roads a few years ago, that really sucked. Ride safe brother, my suggestion - focus on the family and things that last when "things" aren't really attainable, yeah, there's a lot of cool stuff in the world, but you can't take it with you... | ||

You have the makings of a fine country song right there, Rick. Keep a smile on you. | ||

Ask the better half if a flash mob would cheer her up. You seem to have the basics down. | ||

Pretty damn awesome so far. I am now the father of TWINS. A boy and a girl. We haven't left the hospital yet but they seem to have all the necessary parts! Best Christmas ever. I'll have an excuse to play with legos once again. | ||

The holidays are looking great, I always buy myself something substantial to make sure I get what I want...and I don't tell anybody about it. Merry Christmas to me! (selfish basterd I know but it's a long story) | ||

Congrats on the twins, Nate! Hope Mom and kids are doing fine, and this storm we're having doesn't delay your trip home. (With any luck EBR/Hero may have kid's bikes on the US market by the time they're ready to ride two-wheelers!) | ||

I got a new girlfriend about a month ago. Everything seemed beyond perfect. Friday we were planning on a weekend getaway to a cabin in the woods. Last night we went to my work Holdiday Party, I walked her to her car, and two minutes later, she broke up with me via text. On the plus side, with one less person on my list, I'm now done with my Christmas shopping. Other than that, I'm downsizing my life and got a car with half the payment. My motorcycle wouldn't start yesterday, but it was 20 degrees and it has been 'sleeping' outside. | ||

What Holidays? I have been working seven days a week trying to design and validate great products (computer chips) for all of you maniacs. You can thank me (or crucify me) later!  At least, the Lighton and Reindog Christmas trees are up and kitties, doggies, and wives are happy. | ||

Life in general is good! Planning to head to Little Rock AR for a long-needed visit with my dear sister, plus a day in Hot Springs with my old neighbors/good buddies. My work will close for the week around Christmas, then I'll be back to do the year-end dinners... then we'll close for 10 days around the 2nd week of January- might head to Las Vegas then to visit my GF's buddies out there... hoping the budget will allow! I've got a wonderful and loving GF/better half, a beautiful, healthy new fishtank, two great dogs, ... a truly great job, good finances going into 2014, and a cheaply acquired '02 Triumph Sprint to spruce up and use to chase down all the rest of you BW nuts. Here's hoping all you good folk have a great, meaningful, restorative Christmas, and a superb New Year 2014! | ||

Festivus for the Rest of Us ! not a big fan of the HallMark Holidays - but I am not about to force any Federal Laws for or against the ideas and culture you embrace damn friggen shame the idiots in DC could not abide by the same; not as if this nation was founded on the ideals of religious freedom and independence against state persecution because of religious choices. Merry Festivus and Happy Winter Unglumliness to you all. | ||

Congrats! Sounds like you'll have your work cut out for you. I have realized that in my adult life I've been trying to get all the things I've wanted since my early teens. I'm actually just about there. Stuff goes wrong. It's been worse. I take it in stride. A couple years ago everything I owned with wheels took a crap all at once. | ||

Just got the bill for the angiogram I had a few weeks ago and that sucks... BUT!! it was the bringer of good news. No brain aneurysm for me! That was/is the best Christmas gift I have gotten in a long time. I've got some family coming in for the holiday and I'm just looking forward to spending time together. Good eats, a few drinks and some laughs. Kinda like a bunch of badwebbers getting together... but with no bikes.... no bonfire... and not near as much drinking. but I do look forward to it! BRING ON THE CHEESE TRAY!! | ||

I just found out I'm going to be a stepgrandfather. I'm already picturing him/her on the PW50. | ||

Well, my kid is getting everything he wanted, save for the two motorcycles...maybe next time. I just found a deal of a lifetime on a classic S&W revolver. Doesn't help us out much, but it's a hell of an investment. My best to all of you. | ||

Congrats Nate! All is good here. Gots us four healthy adult kids with better halves, and six and a half awesome grand kids. I had been having a lot of fun with the little ones until the wife told me I cannot ducttape them to the wall and feed them frozen peas with a sling shot anymore.  The under five crowd has become dangerous with the "pull my finger" game.  Maybe it's just because I'm getting old, but it never used to have to end with a trip to the bathroom!  | ||
