Well boys and girls, it's that time of year again...yes, yes, it's Bah Humbug time again, just like the title says :).
Once again it's time to spend loads of yer hard earned sheckles and ruppees on things for people, listen to Yuletide music 'til yer ears bleed, and for some an excuse to overeat and over indulge in wee drams, eggnog laced (hopefully) with rum and of course some ale, preferably Newcastle Brown Ale.
Lest you think me a Grinch, I'll partake in the seasons festivities by giving everyone a sneak peek of my list to give the jolly fat man who swans about with some reindeer and a sleigh.
My Bah Humbug list is as follows:
A wee Triumph Tiger Cub (longed for one when I was a younger sprog)
A Triumph X75 Hurricane (beautiful looking machine)
A BSA Rocket 3 (with bread bin tank and ray gun silencers)
A Harley Davidson XLCR Cafe Racer (loved the look, even if it wasn't the best there was)
A Triumph T100SS (a mate had one and a certain gorgeous girly tested one for a week)
A BSA B44 Shooting Star (to go with Amelia and Vicky)
A Greeves Scottish trials machine (just want one)
A Laverda 1000/3 (jsut oozes sex appeal))
A Royal Enfield Continental GT (first factory made cafe racer especially for the boy racers of the time)
Also a pair of Buffalo Action winter gloves, a pair of waxed cotton trews, a plane ticket to attend the Manx GP as well as the Haggis and lastly, a nice digital camera to taking some great biking piccies and of course a bigger shed to house them all in.
That should do it me thinks. Wonder if there's any chance of the fat man pulling that one off????? Is there anything I forgot??? Of course a good classic bike mag or book is always good too :)!

Hey Bodger, take a look at the "Rocket 3"....Rocket Garage link at Kawa's blog....Santa can stuff a clone of that bike in my Christmas stocking. Hairy Larry
ReplyDeleteThat did look very interesting Larry. Saw a beautiful Rocket 3 cafe racer at the 76 IoM TT that was made in Ireland. Had pictures which are now forever lost.
ReplyDeleteDo want the original type along with a Norton 750 or 850 Commando (don't know how I forgot that one) along with an Ariel HT5 500 trials and a BSA OIF 650 Thundrbolt or Lightning.
Some list you have there Bodger, one or two I wouldn't mind. Got a liking for an old Triple, but not as we know them, a nice Rob North racer in red and white and fitted with the much nicer A75 Rocket 3 engine.. thats about the only bike I can think of that I'd really like to add to the collection.
