    Neither can I ...

    "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" to all the fine people that make this Yamaha Forum so much fun and such an interesting place to write for.

    It's a new adventure every time I log-in to the Home Page.

    We fixed-up a few bikes this past year and I know those people who joined to do just that are really appreciating it.

    The "Chop and Mod's Squad" were equally entertaining with some fine examples of what you can do with an Old Bike and a new welder!

    Those who scooped the GREAT Deals on "Cheap pr Freebies" scored HUGE this past year.

    It was fun.
    It is fun.

    Thank you one and all for being such a nice Community to belong to!

    I will add my Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Being the unrepentant non politically correct b*****d that I am. This is a great site and I have gotten tons of help on my XJ650 project, made some new friends, and am having lots of fun. It don't get no better than that.

    So, I hope all of your wishes and dreams come true this Christmas season. May you and your families be well and prosper.

    Cheers,

    Phil

    I'll take exception to that, I don't think you are a b*****d in the least. You have proven rather a generous soul and a rather nice guy in spite of your efforts.
    Merry Christmas to you all and a very Happy New Year!
    Robert.

    Hey Kenbo,

    Man, you have done a TON of work on the 1980 XJ. Looks really good, I'm going to get mine up and running so I can ride it for a season before I do any really major things like stripping the frame. Getting to the age where I'd rather ride than work.

    Retirement is only a year away. Whoopeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cheers,

    Phil
