That's a lot of pink!  Next group ride you'll be easy to spot in the rearviews.

Does a leather clutch sound like a dry clutch?

LOL! 
Yup, gonna take my pink leather clutch on my next ride...nope...that's not gonna distract me at all from riding...
Hmmm, it' sjust too bad that pink doesn't go with red... 

I had such a nice year and got to visit with family and friends. Really, good memories are sometimes the best gift! I did end up, however, on Santa's good list and got some cool stuff!

From my Gf:
-CRG Levers
-DP Touring seat- *OMG* what an improvement, I don't feel like I'm riding the tank anymore!
-Astars Jacket
-Sidi Boots
-and from her to both of us - A Roomba!!!(that little robot is gonna make life SO much better-ha!)


From Family and Friends:
-clothes
-kitchen bowls
-bubble bath (yay!)
-lotions
-money
-ornaments
-foodstuffs
-ipod shuffle
-love, laughter, and silliness 

I can't wait to ride with all the new gear. With my Christmas break from school I'll be able to play with everything, but I really want some more warm days. I get so bummed when the Holidays end... without xmas it's just cold.

crap load of gift certificates from students (I've got to say that out of all the various cards my favorite is the $35 for 7-eleven)
A bottle of champagne from a student.  It was a little awkward, but a lot of fun receiving alcohol from a sixth grader. No one in my family drinks at all so I'm at a loss of what to do with it.

one of these so far i like it. Never really been into tech gadgets, but this is cool. I recorded the trip we did down in Hollister yesterday and you can view on Google earth.

one of the trails

Ooo, so that's what you were fiddling with!

Was that the trail that was 6" wide next to the cliff? 
Longer way down then I realized.

Santa brought me passes to go with Zoom Zoom on my first track day, and
a very nice woollen jacket to stay warm in SF with!



Still waiting on the care package from back East, hoping it didn't get lost in the holiday shipping shuffle.

At first look, I thought it was a Golf Course GPS hole distance gauger and was getting all excited for a new golfing buddy!    Oh well....

Yeah right. You drive a golf ball less distance than your 749.

quite possibly true, but i have a wicked slice.

I got a Mino mini HD camcorder from me
Some yummy single malt whiskey from Oregon and Scotland from me.
A SBK throttle for the bike.

Uh, and that's it.

If I didn't have so much fun watching the kidlings discover X-Mas (my daughter has decided it's when we celebrate Santa's birthday  ) I might feel ripped off
