I've got you all beat:
Black and Decker rice cooker
college books




...that's about it. I haven't made a bike payment on my own in two months, though, so I can't complain.

Two weeks off with pay. :D

Gift Certificate to the Ducati Dealership
Bottle of Goldschlager (apparently I'm a drunk)
Clothes
Little RC helicopters (so fun to chase dogs with)
Lots of Money (to buy a small trailer with)

A week-long ski trip in Breckenridge, CO with my wife.

OK, so I had to save money all year long to pay for it myself, but a Christmas present to yourself still counts!!!

vonD

Claire gave me two paintings.

Which she did herself . . . and they are gorgeous. I was beyond touched.

Books, clothes, a bottle from the Isle of Jura distillery ( :D ), a couple of videos, and a BOAT!

Gheenoe 15.5-foot classic (http://www.gheenoe.net/index.html)

Now I have a way to get my bike across those pesky lakes that just pop up everywhere! :lol:

The boat was definitely a good closing. That's cool. Seems like it would be great for fishing, especially in shallow and otherwise tricky spots. I've been wanting to get my sister's boat off of her hands... she never uses the thing.

Thanks, I'm pretty stoked. Got it from my brother-in-law who's a serious boat guy. The thing is incredibly stable no matter where you stand while casting. It's got a 15-horse motor that'll be perfect for where I usually go. Might have to get a Gold Wing to tow it, though. :wink:

i got my givi windscreen,a cover for my bike, and a honda hornet belt

Bose QC3 acoustic noise cancelling headphones

I got some binoculars (because I had been planning to go to the Orange Bowl, but couldn't this year). Some hot sauce (Scorned Woman, great stuff)

I'll be playing some with the wife's new Cannon Rebel XTi though :D

43 inch plasma HDTV. Surprise gift from my son.

Heidle rear stand, rear seat bag(which will be intersting to get attached around the exhaust), and a pair of gloves...

What's the concern with the fit of your seat bag?

Well there is no where that I can attach it to it seems, I could go bungee end to bungee end, but I have to add 2 small bungee cords to make them fit...plus I'm a tad worried about the cords next to the exhaust, I do not know how warm it gets there.

Any suggections you have...

Still waiting but should come tomorrow

Find it very hard to buy gear & not mods for the bike. (Alpinestars smx 4 boots)
(Alpinestars m4 gloves)


Safety First.... sucks don't it

There are four bungee hooks under the seat. Do you know about them? Attach the seat bag to the grab rail and the any of the hooks that you can. I hooked my bag and then use a bike cargo net to secure it and no problem with the exhaust. The cargo net makes a handy place to stick sunglasses and gloves between stops.

I got a Wii for Christmas too! I still love my playstation, but it's nice to have some variety :)

Cool that you're mom got one, my dad has owned a playstation since they started. It's great times playing video games with him. Then again, he also has a motorcycle and giant water guns....... Sometimes I think he's just a grey haired 16 year old.

got:

clothes
bunch of giftcards
front and rear bike stands
winterjacket
halo3
electric shaver

my dad bought me a ps3 with like 4 games and my mom bought me a quadcore processor. so i cant really complain..

my mom bought me a quadcore processor

I've been drooling over the dual quad core Mac Pro for months... even just a single quad core must be pretty nice to run.

Speaking of computers, I guess I'm no longer asking for a PS3 or bar end mirrors for my birthday (about three weeks after Christmas, so I kind of consider them the same thing)... I just ordered a new Mac Book so that I can stop bumming off of my house mate...

i did buy an xbox 360 elite :)

yeah she bought be the amd phenom 9600 i think, its a true quad instead of that intel bull crap 2x2. I recently upgraded the harddrive on the ps3 from 40 to 160gb....soo many games and movies on that thing. The only shitty part about the ps3 is that game saves at like 1 - 5 gb! its nuuuts.
