OK, here we go, at Matts prompting.

I'll start the ball rolling :-

Dear Santa, please bring me a Ducati 900ss MHR......

A TRX850 (don't want to be greedy!) a new back to allow me to enjoy it and a guarantee of a clear run all the way along the A272 🙏

I suppose it would have to be something 1920s or 1930s with girder forks, and a rigid rear end. Not a flat tanker, but the next stage after that. In fact a Panther 600 sloper, but more importantly what I would really like, is the engineering knowledge and expertise, to maintain it, and make it reliable  ;)

Tim......you clearly don't watch the Christmas films do you, don't you know santa can't grant those kinnda wishes. It has to be an object like a toy or a bike, you yourself have the inner power to get the expertise to maintain something. All it takes is self belief (oh and engineering knowledge  ;D ;D)

Please can I have a complete new set of riding gear, helmet, gloves, boots, coat and trousers.....all mine were either wrecked or cut off me when I had my accident...thanks santa :) :)

My Sunbeam will probably be available in the spring - thoroughly sorted 1931 bike with the required hand change, brakes (that nearly work) etc........

I could even throw in a crash maintenance course!

Not sure if Santa's pockets will be deep enough?

Actually, what I'd really like for Christmas, is my parts order to arrive from Romania  :-\

A Ducati 916 with, say, 500 miles on the clock. & with 20 free track days a year (until I fall off and lose interest)
