cos of work, we had Xmas tonight. My Mrs said I’d never guess in a million years what she’d got me, & she was right…..Framed trials gloves!

When I was 17 I started trials riding, the motorcycle type. Rode for about 15 years. these were the last gloves I used & as a sentimental thing I kept them, usually under the cushion on the sofa, God knows why! I said I’d never get rid of them (even though the palms are shot) as they were ‘a symbolic part of my memories’, or summink.
Anyway I thought it was an awesome idea!
Anyone else had anything as mad?

What a truly thoughtful gift. 🙂

Honestly, i pissed myself when I saw that!

That’s a great present.

My father decided that what I really needed for Christmas was a radiator key, which he presented to me in a ring box…..

I was once given a kettle by a couple I know. Trouble was, a friend came round, and recognised it as a present they’d bought them. Bit embarrassing. 😳

It was a crap kettle too. Cheap rubbish. I cursed the lot of them.

Great pressie and every time you go past you will remember the trials days and today!

Wish I had my old ones..

Brilliant pressie. My Dad made me a bike workstand this year which incorporated a drill vice I machined as an apprentice piece over 25 years ago. It had been buried at the back of his garage for years, brought back a whole heap of great memories when I realised what it was 🙂

My mum got my old bunny that never left my side till i was 10 framed, its quite cool. she also got me an empty ostrich egg, and I don’t really know why…

Love the Trials gloves idea i had an old pair of Jofa’s that i used on mines back in the day(what is at about gloves i never held onto any other old kit) but these were sadly lost in a garage clear out a few years ago

I got this year a series of photos put into a big picture frame. They are of the squat in Zurich were i met my missus for the first time. Its since been demolished.

Excellent gift
