Stu Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 come on then what's your best and worst presents! best has to be the set of vessel JIS screwdrivers I got!! doesn't seem good to some but these are valuable tools when working on Jap bikes!!! have you ever noticed how the screws one Jap bike seem to be made of cheese? and the heads che up really easily? thats because you are using the wrong screw drivers! JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) screwdrivers are made for these screws where as UK ones just cam out and fudge the heads! be warned though they aren't cheap! at £80 for a set of 9 screwdrivers! the worst its gotta be the socks!

MarkW Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 My father-in-laws Christmas presents are referred to as 'Facebook fodder' in this house, because he puts so little thought into them that they're only good for comedic purposes.In 2012 he bought a single gift to be shared between me, my wife and our two kids: a box of Family Circle biscuits from Makro. In 2013 he bought the boys a small chocolate penguin each, and nothing for me or Vicki. Last year he bought me a jar of Rowse honey with the 'reduced to clear' label still on it. This year he didn't get any of us anything. Obviously me and Vicki couldn't care less, but I have to admit that not getting anything for your grandchildren at Christmas is something I struggle to get my head round.

RantMachine Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Best present was probably the semi-rigid tool bag Crystal gave me, I'm forever juggling loads of bits of crap when I go out to work on the bikes so it'll be damn handy.Worst present was from my parents, who re-gifted me my own copy of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds after finding it in my brother's room.

fullscreenaging Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Best was having my seat recovered and gel inserts put in and a set of Givi engine bars for the Tracer. Great piece of kit!Worst was a really cheap odour toilet spay!Hopefully the local charity shop will take it off my hands.I know the gesture is there, but I wish family members that don't have a lot of money would save their money and not get anything rather than waste it on tacky shit that usually gets thrown away and ultimately end up being a waste of their money. A card is good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
