Fridge? Colours? Eh?

New leather jacket, couple o bottles of spirits and a fair amount of chocolate. Just noticed that the jacket has 'not considered to be PPE under the directive'

Does this mean it's just no good for track etc? It's seems sturdier than my current jacket an has CE armour...

Must have been bad this year didn't even have the decency to melt the white stuff so I could get out for a ride

From my foxy lady I got a Mini DVR III Bike kit.

A new pair of Nike trainers (will be testing these tomorrow )

A new Sonneti jumper (very smart )

A few pairs of trunk boxers. (very comfy)

From the Aupair a metal bike clock. It's a VTR firestorm and the clock is in the rear wheel. Very cool and will be going on my desk at work.

From the kids I got

A box of liquorice allsorts. (amazed the box is still not opened, let alone empty, must have been the fantastic Christmas dinner which has curbed my appetite).

A hand made candle holder.

A Lynx deodorant set. (Come on ladies).

Really wanted a Triumph Sprint ST 1050 in black, but instead really happy with perfume, nightie, and sixty quid tattoo voucher!

A set of car mats. No really...a set of ***ing car mats. I mean, how the hell am I supposed to fit them on the bike?

And whilst I'm at it, here's another drip. I bought her an iPod Nano 5th gen thingy and a Roberts DAB dream radio/alarm clock with docking port for an ipod - guess what she said..."Never heard of Roberts - are they any good? Will it be loud enough?" Not a hint of "Oh, thankyou, etc etc ". Woman down the road who came for Xmas dinner with her two kids (I cooked incidentally cos I enjoy cooking etc and it's good to do at Crimbo) brought her a present - a sellotape dispenser from the pound shop - the missus is practically doing flik flaks down the road she is so completely ****-a-hoop and vocal with her 'gift' from this 'friend'.

Think I'll be checking how comfortable her shoes are from now on. Angry? Think I might change my name to TimWilky.

Get me out of here.

Fack All ............ I`m going on a "Treat Badger" spree

Don't fret about it, virtually all bike kit is not CE approved as PPE. It's still ok for trackdays as long as it zips fully to leather trousers.

CE approved PPE bike kit is quite pricey and only a handful of the more exclusive manufacturers make it. No Alpinestars or Dainese leathers are PPE, so it always made me wonder what your money was being spent on as it's simply bike style fashion clothing.

Handy for kneeling on when you're cleaning the wheels, or lubeing the chain I suppose
