You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

I got the Wolo airhorn and a tinytach .
Airhorn draws 15A (at 12V that's 180W) so it may be a bit much for my feeble 180W system but I can use it on the Miata, and the tinytach is for the JD2020 whose mechanical tach gave up many years ago.

I didn't get anything Norton related, but my 2 kids got a 4.10H19 TT100 each 
My Wife got my son a slot-car racing set as a means of keeping me in the house, and not in the garage. Working well so far...2 tracks but runs 4 cars...very cool!

Best prezzie for me is time off with the boys....annual New Years poolside BBQ & piss up that starts at midday and ends and midnight. Only Commando owners allowed. Get wet, get drunk, talk bullshit and ogle some fine Nortons. Hey it don't snow in West Australia, your all invited!

Brother Jim gave me some Cortech Bags - so we can travel a bit more comfortably on vacations. I'll need to fabricate some bracketry to hang them off the back of the Norton.. hope they clear the Roadster pipes.

Merry Christmas all, rgrigutis must be the happiest with his gift and Foxy may be a little sad, Maybe you could grow into both. LOL LOL kinda sounds like something I would say. And Mick sounds like he has the best idea for New years, Wish there was a road that I could take to get there. My map only shows a whole bunch of blue between us. Happy new year guys and may we all have many safe rides this year! Chuck.
