    Every year I try and make sure that I also gift myself during the holiday season. It all started with a set of premium ride boots about 10 years ago. It felt great to spoil myself as well and made the season even that much more enjoyable. I suggest you try it if you don't already!

    My wife and I have already spoiled ourselves pretty good with a few electronic goodies, but today I pick up a 350 lb. shipping box! It's not a bike, but it is bike related and something I have dreamed about having in my personal moto shop for a very long time. Providing that I make it back home through the snow and ice, I will post a pic this evening!

    Self gifting is the only way... Now I just need to find the right tires to put under the tree :thumbsup:

    I'd like to give myself a gift of a WR125 Cagiva Husqvarna, but too poor, this year. I guess I'll just have to regift my WR 300 to myself.:rolleyes:

    YES!!! A new Handy Sport Lift!

    This thing lifts 40" (39" on the first safety catch) and most lifts, including the standard Handy lift, only lift to 30". I'm a short dude and a 30" lift would never do. Even my old Kendon lifted to 32". First photo is @ 40" and the second is at 30" to give you an idea of the major difference.

    I have one of those too. I bought mine in 1986. I've had to replace the o-ring and pin on the floor pedal a couple of times over the years, but other than that, it has never had anything else go wrong with it.

    I tried to buy one local, but man was that frustrating. There was one here that was probably the same as yours (the good old all grey models) that was a very good deal with the cycle vise and dolly to move it around. The problem was that it was left outside for the last 5 years.:confused:

    Tires look good under trees too!

    That is so funny DD :lol: But I may do the same and regift my WR 150 this year because I spoiled myself when I bought it and I still love it.
