I went out last christmas though and it was brilliant, mainly because of empty roads. Saw 3 bikes in 4 hours though, doesn't seem to be a popular day for biking

Whacked a bit of tinsel over the bike, tied a santa hat to my helmet and off I went

Working this year, and bikes on SORN, so thats the end of that plan

Crashed Xmas 09 due to drunk driver... off-roading possibly, but not on road.

Always go out for a spin on Xmas Day. Though in recent years it's not been as deserted as it used to be.

One year I went down to Broadstairs and there were some attractive nubiles (and some fat middle aged blokes, admittedly) swimming in the sea in their skimpies. Bit of a custom, apparently.

Years ago folks on here used to organise a ride-out on Xmas day. Annabella and her bloke (Suzuki?) and others whose membership numbers were barely into double digits.

Anyone remember the good/bad old days in Kent/elsewhere in the late 80s/early 90s when you were virtually certain to get pulled by the various plod forced out to clamp down on the drunk drivers/riders blighting England's green and pleasant land if you were out on Xmas Day or NYD?

But surely any normal bloke would be at home with his family at this time of year, not out riding a motorbike. Etc. After the Chief Constable's son was nicked for being off his face on something or other, this practice quickly died out.

Used to ride out on Christmas day, but more recently there has been loads of cars and even police around. Not so much fun now.

Though I might go off road

FOr an hour or so.
Then back to the Turkey-Lurkey and the Mince Pies and the Trimmings and the Queen's Speech and .....

Probably not, all that food will just make me want to sleep!

Suppose it comes down to how bearable the family are that day

I sellotaped a santa hat to my helmet and put a santa costume over my gear last year and rode around the city for a bit.

Considering riding around like that but with a backpack this year, and throwing/giving presents to random pedestrians. If any are out. Who knows, it might make someone's day if they're depressed and wandering Plymouth alone on Christmas day.

This time though I will keep the beard on. Even though it gets sodden with snot.

Could be a good day for getting a tug from a pissed off black rat, who's drawn the short straw and got rostered on.

Loud pipes/small plates can be talked out of, the residue of Xmas Eve's skinfull less so

This has got to be a singley thread! Like, do you married folks get any fuckin choice? Married with kids? You're staying in then, that's what you do, and if you've got young kids, that's what you should be doing. Us sad singley bastards on the other hand are just looking for an excuse to stay away from the crap that's regurgitated on the telly year after year. What am I having for Xmas dinner? Chinese. Apparently. Christ, I hope the weather's good so I can get the fuck out on the bike. Roll on next summer.

Much to eat and much to drink.

Oh and I don't have a bike.
