    I don't suppose I'm the only one buying early Christmas presents for themselves? :D

    Here's mine... so far...

    Dainese Highthawk C2 touring boots - these have been discontinued, and I was lucky to find a pair in my size (they better fit!), they have been replaced with a D1 model but those are not leather and don't look as good as the C2 boot IMO.

    And a new jacket (again discontinued :rolleyes:) to go with my next bike acquisition (early next year) ;)

    So what presents are you ladies and gentlemen buying yourselves?

    Sounds like something a kid would do, but me and Mrs JtC bought ourselves a Play Station. Weird, huh?

    Hence the lovely jacket, which looks tight by the way (just like your lovely boots )

    I want to treat myself to a PS5 but I'd better not, just in case Santa brings one. And then it's my birthday 6 weeks after Christmas so... Damn this time of year!

    Not to be controversial or anything, but isn't the Monster going to be a bit similar to the Street Triple? Different engines, I know but still, both naked street bikes.

    I'm hoping Santa brings me a SuperSport but I'm not holding my breath. He's a tight bastard sometimes.

    I find that genuinely hard to believe. When we met earlier this year, you didn't look an ounce overweight. :confused::)

    I like middle weight nakeds :)
    I was also considering an MV Agusta Brutale 800 but that also being a triple, I think would compete too much with the Street Triple, whereas the Monster has a very different character to the ST... and I decided to rein in the budget a bit.

    The new SuperSport is a gorgeous looking machine :cool:

    I've obvously been at the chocolate and biscuits too much over the last few months. I genuinely put on one of my jackets the other day and wow it felt tight! o_O
