Sorry – rude of me to talk about my Christmas present and not ask if you got what you wanted. Did you get something for the bike? Tickets to a GP next year? A new bit of kit?

My other bike-related presents were generally a bit… bought by non-bikers. A couple of T-shirts with motorcycle designs on them. The inevitable Hairy Bikers cookbook (I think I have their diet one twice – what are people trying to tell me?)

Number One Son did come up trumps: a new visor, to replace a scratched one. Generous gift, that – have you seen what a replacement visor costs? Astronomical.

So I hope you did well over Christmas and got what you wanted.
