Personally, I am tired of all the melodrama around this place. So for a change of pace - How many of you guys have bike-related stuff on your Christmas list?
Santa (whose return address is curiously Carolina BMW in Greensboro ) already delivered the main item on my list, but my wife won't let me open it until Christmas.
Rev It Celcius winter gloves with Phase Change material to use the heat from the hand grips to keep my fingers toasty. A review will follow in January!
Anyone else hitting on Santa for part of your motorcycle wish list?

Since I AM Santa Clause I don't epect to get any cycle stuff right now. I bought a rear tire about month ago. Wife said, "Merry Christmas" LOL
I've wanted a signal minder for about 3 years now, someday I'll buy one.
The thing that is at the top of my wishlist is a small tank-bag. Now, I've never been one to use a tank bag. I certainly see how handy they are, but have always had fear of scratching my already scratched tank. The size of them always turned me off too, that was until I found this little gem:
Scorpion Helmet and a Joe Rocket leather jacket for me.
I went and sat on the white limited ed. Hayabusa. My wife told me to go for it, but I didn't. Waiting for a peek at the 2006 FZ-1. I should have bought the 'busa...
Mettallic Blue BMW F800ST
and a
Suomy Fabrizio Spec-1R Extreme helmet.
I don't have any images to bust yer eye with,
but OHMYGOD,
I'd be look'n tough-n-fine if I could add some BMW riding gear to the above mentioned package!
I’m hoping for a set of caliper mount Moto Lights. I have been pretty good this year or at least I didn’t get caught being bad so I think I have a pretty good chance of getting them.
Yer wanted by the police and my wife thinks your dead.
Already opened mine: Mesh Tech 2 and HT overpants!
Think I am gonna get a supplemental brake light for my bike, 'cause it deserves a gift, too!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to y'all!
With the cost of heating fuel going up NOT a bad Idea!!!
Gloves are also on my list, I have been looking at the Lee parks, Givi topbox would also be nice, one of those nifty hangers mentioned in another forum would make a great gift. http://www.blackandgray.com/main.htm, If anyone needs my mailing address just ask. I hope you all have a Great Christmas, Den
The funny thing is I'm content with the way my bike currently is setup. I do *need* a new helmet and jacket. I know my santa was going to get a helmet but I told her that I would have to try them on, so hold off (I'm still not sure which one I want). I think a new jacket is in order. I would LOVE the REV-IT jacket, but I can't let her spend that much on a jacket. OK, I could. Maybe some of those phase-change gloves.
Actually, the only REAL thing I ned for my bike is some nice long weekends.

They're lined with the Outlast material. It has this cold clammy feel to it when you slide your hand. Once it aligns with your body temp it is slow to change. So, if your body gets warmer the gloves feel cool, if it gets colder the gloves feel warm. I'm sure you know this, but the effect is remarkable. I tried the windcheater jacket out for a little while too. They'd make a great warm layer.
BTW I threw those old unlined AGV gloves away. You guys know the ones, the gloves that would turn my hands black when it rained. My hands would be black for 3 days afterwards. Chucked those babies right in the dust bin, I did!
Brian - glad to hear the gloves worked. The Rev It gloves looks and fit like good, protective motorcycle gloves. If this phase change stuff works, I will be happy. And I am still using the Aerostich ones that turn my hands black in the rain too! But they have faded so much, I don't get as black as I used to! (Did that sound funny?)
And Marko, I like your thinking! Plus the GPS thoughts! And the lights! Unfortunately, Santa at my house is sort of tapped out after the kids stuff!
