    In a recent survey, conducted by the University of Strathclyde, motorcyclists would rather be on their bikes than spending time with their family around the Christmas tree.

    Frankly, in the case of my own extended family, this came as no surprise (although watching my drunk Uncle urinate in his neighbor's prized flower beds, a few years back, was kinda entertaining).

    Apparently, the ONLY thing that will take our attention away from our bikes is ... again, no surprise here ... women.

    Women riders, however, can't think of anything they'd prefer over motorcycling ... not us men, not the children, not even newborn babies!

    What's Christmas? Does it feel like Christmas for you guys in China?

    I don't really celebrate Christmas anymore since I'm in China, to be honest I can't really say I miss it. I'll probably get wasted one night of this year's Christmas weekend, but ofcourse I don't need Christmas for that. Apart from that, just work!

    For those who do really celebrate Christmas, have fun and don't gain to much weight!

    Does the fact that Felix and I are abandoning our women to go ride in Vietnam say anything?

    Cheers!

    I will spend the day skiing that is if the snow conditions improves.

    Went for a ride on a motorcycle last weekend way to cold for me that and the ice patches on the road make it far to dangerous for me.Hasn't stopped other die hard motorcyclists still riding now although there few and far between.

    If I was at home I'd be surfing.Best day of the year for surfing everyone is either to hungover or committed to family gatherings to go surfing.

    How about men on bikes? That's why we ride surely.

    That is why the next Shanghai F-1 trackday will be on Sunday the 25th of December.
    What a perfect excuse :-)
