That's good going, good for you, great will power this time of year.

The only thing I want next year not just for Christmas to to have my entry for the Manx newcomers accepted.

Amsterdam.
It depends on them accepting me , things like the number of applicatants. Who warrants a ride more than someone else if theres more applicants than spaces available , with the increased popularity of the Manx/ TT classic festival it might not be so easy to get a ride as it was just a few years ago. 
I can tick all the right boxes to enter, jump through some small hoops then pass a medical , so the ball will be in thier firmly in thier court.

I see, well good luck on that one, if you've ticked all the right boxes, just keep fingers crossed! (So that will then be your Christmas present to be harvested this summer)

That is really pushing the boat out, maybe you should bring her into the garage and let her see what you need for Christmas!

Don't know what I am getting ,def not bike stuff cause the bike needs nothing and I have all the gear I need,I have the Road DVD, might hint at getting a negative scanner to scan all the old racing pics I have.

Don't mind Christmas, the food is the best part of it! May have a few bike related surprises.

The best thing about Christmas is that it's nearly next year, and we all know what that means!! ;-)

Let her indoors in the garage? That's sacrilege, I'd rather eat my own head
