But I had better not as they are a bit pricy

[garry]

The only moto-related items on my Xmas wish list are the Shane Watts "DirtWise" DVDs.

[Papa Lazarou]

heated gloves

[Mr.Black]

heated gloves

and jacket liner.

[Rincewind]

I would like a cafe racer, Santa.  



Also frame sliders for my bike.

[Scratch33]

A stack of tires as tall as me.  

[scottzilla]

New cam sensor for the Tuono which decided to throw an error code two months out of warranty.
Thank God the bike has so much "Character".  

[wibornz]

gyro alloytec helicopter h-725g


Luckey for me my sons have bought me two of them and I am now just waiting for Christmas to come.  You may ask why two.  They said I am sure to break the first one learning to fly it and then the second one is for after I learned to fly.  They are nice comedians.

bluetooth head phones for the gym



a 500 dollar gift card  so that a multi day bike trip is payed for.... Take off on a whim....Gas and lodging is payed for....

I am a lucky man.  I have everything I want for my motorcycle riding pleasures.


 

[MrsCablebandit]

heated jacket liner so Cablebandit can have his back  

new winter gloves because my Joe Rocket Nitrogens suck for picture taking (they're plenty warm)

bigger SD card for my camera so I don't worry about my picture count on multi-day trips

[bomber]

more time to ride.

[tthompsr]

more time to ride.

Well Said!

[BashamR6S]

Lots of good ideas so far! Keep them coming!
Bash
My top three are probably
1. Bluetooth /wireless speaker setup
2. Textile jacket
3. "Real" motorcyle jacket

[Cheddarhead]

more time to ride.

You "have" the time...you "choose' not to ride.




I'm guilty of this, as well...




of course, I choose to work so that I can choose that which I desire to eat, too...

[stew71]

No gizmos this year. Just a new pack tent from REI and hunting knife from Buck. Gift cards to Amazon and Aerostich are on the list as are a couple of books about Burt Munro and The Mad Trapper of Rat River.

[mxvet57]

A stack of tires as tall as me.  

You can have these if you want.

[wrath]

Frame sliders
Riding shoes.. (I'm researching)
HID's and audi led's
PC Gun

I wanna get the Wife's bike sprayed for her.. that would be a huge surprise.

[mxvet57]

[cbsnbiker]

A new battery for each of my three bikes. Yup, they're all going at once.  

[BashamR6S]

That is 3 items.....not my top choice tho. That goes under maintenance. AS IN-"hunny i HAD to buy batteries's....for MAINTENANCE" What 3 bikes you ride?
Bash

[SummerLove]

Heated Grips and a mobile warming heated vest..

Though I'd really like a Futura or Multistrada 620.. but I'm not sure those will fit in a stocking.
 

[Papa Lazarou]

I want but won't get:    

GoPro HD Motorsports HERO

[Fourstring]

A new seatpost and seat for the mountain bike, maybe braces.    Nothing for the moto this year but I might snag some new boots in the post-season closeouts.

[Hardware]

BMW pants to go with my jacket.  That's it...

[Moto Morphin Power Ranger]

GoPro2 HD Moto   i have no video camera at all

[ConPilot1]

Just a new pack tent from REI.

Which one are you looking at dude? REI makes GREAT tents. I have a Mountain ll and love it. It's a bit much for moto-camping but it rocks
for cold weather in the fall.

[Mastros2]

Gerbings liner and a bunch of moto socks.  I'm not picky, I'll be thrilled with getting the socks!

[RenegadeVT]

New rain gear
A gas gift card
Cold weather gloves

And finally more time off i go ride

[JonS]

2 parking tickets in DC@$100 each.
1 parking ticket in SF @$100, that I never saw.
1 illegal turn ticket at a CHP speed trap, coming into Monterey for the MotoGP,@$240. Very bogus.
That pretty much takes me into next Xmas.

[Last1Out]

Just one for me, a buyer for the Honda. I've had lots of wishers and dreamers, but no buyers yet.

It's not that I'm in any hurry to sell it, it's just that since I posted the thing, I'm getting a lot of 'if only"s and that gets old after a while.

[rgbeard]

Get me a nice stretch Sprinter Van in Diesel so I can have my rolling garage and track-day setup!!!!

 

[rgbeard]

For those that wonder about Santa, and what you're gonna get this year:

If you want LED's in the same output category for a lot less, try these..

http://24x7diy.com/product_info.php/cPath/33/products_id/94  

Krista's are ridiculously expensive - I am very happy with the lights above, the amount of light is amazing.

[Rincewind]

That was great.

Speaking of LED I may put this Light jacket on my list -

http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php/topic,68518.msg1580985.html

[SVTNate]

I want Santa to bring me a ZX-14R.

And a new Connie 14 to take on a long trip next year.  If I can simply borrow one from Santa for a month or so, that'd be okay.  

Oh, and a new Bonneville for putting around locally.

And a pastrami sandwich from Carnegie Deli in NYC.  Preferably fresh.

Yep had a set of them, fucking sucks when they break off from normal riding. Great light but real crapy mounting hardware.
I got less than 1500 miles before both were useless. Seller will replace them but I do not want a light on my bike that I can not count on, although I can count on them to be hanging at the end of the cable banging around fucking up everything they bang into.

Sorry just a bit angry about the LED lighting disappointed to say the least.

Curious, where did you have them mounted? I know in the ADVmonster thread and ADV there were a few folks that reported broken mounts - but many others that did not - and they are the same design as the 247diy ones. And yeah, the Krista mounts do look a lot better. I still can't justify that price though.

I had them mounted on the crash bars on my GSA.
Got them from ADVmonster and yes I am one of the ones who feels shafted (and vented it on ADV), Want better mounting hardware $40 even though seller admits they had a problem with the first design. YA sure I will give them more $$$ just to fix his crapy design.

When I got them one of the mounts had a crack (RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX) I had to take pics and pay to send back, the other looked like it was going to crack as well, SORRY NOT CRACKED YET YOU PAY NOW!. One light stopped working about 3 weeks of use, in right before the mount broke.

  If you want cheap china crap ADVmonster is there to fill that need.  

Sure Clearwater Krista lights are 4 times the price, but they are made in the USA (almost local to me) all parts can be serviced or repaired, are solid design, better mounting hardware and the designer stands behind his product. OH Ya they have really Really REALLY great focus pattern.

I hear ya - for me I just do not have enough spread to justify the price for the Krista's. If I did, I'd choose them in a heartbeat. I did not go through ADV monster, I got mine from 24x7diy - they are 3000Lm ones that ADVmonster does not have yet. From what I understand they are the same and ADVmonster get's theirs from 24x7 wholesale (the 2k lumen ones are their model 44). So far I'm impressed with the light output, seems very close to the Krista output just going off pics - hopefully will get a chance to do a side by side one of these days.

Hey question!?!
What motorcycle DVDs are worth buying, keep in mind I'm NOT a HD fan. But don't mind "classic" movies with HD...but I'm lucky for Movies to add to the list for the wife.

I revise my original answer and ask Santa for one of these...

I'm getting the DH Volitation version.

[02Tac]

Santa might be running late this year!

[motomem]

I hate Christmas - everything about it.
In an effort to get the Christmas Spirit here's my wish list.
1. Cardo Scala Rider G4 - if the thing works the way folks say.
2. Aerostich Fleece Pants - size 38 regular
3. A riding buddy who wants to take a last minute run to Big Bend or Southern Fl in Jan or Feb.

I don't have to have the first two or can get them for myself but the last isn't easy to find.
If I can't find anybody else into spur of the moment trips - I'll just do it.

Susan Walker: If you're really Santa Claus, you can get it for me. And if you can't, you're only a nice man with a white beard like mother says.
