What bike should Santa buy and why?

If Santa got rid of his reindeer, what bike could he ride and why?
I'm thinking a K 1200 LT. Classy.
Big, roomy fast.

I'd suggest a Ural sidecar rig. Two wheel drive for those snowy roads, and the sidecar will hold his sack of toys. Though it would need a HP boost to make his round the world time schedule.

And maybe a chase vehicle with parts and a mechanic. :hide
 
A RED one of course!:p

A good friend of mine has been riding Urals for many years. But, he also lives very close to the importer north of Seattle and they have had to do all kinds of free work for him, including transmission and engine swaps, clutches, and so on. Kind of sobering when you see the list of what all had to be done to get to 100,000 miles.

The saving grace being that most repairs can be done with a big hammer, an anvil and a large standard screwdriver. Maybe add a prybar for the big jobs. :laugh

And no GS-911 with the latest dongle, wi-fi and windoze 10 enabled laptop. ;)

All good things to have. However, since my buddy rides about 100 miles a day the Ural importer has given him their electric bike prototype to test extensively. He says it's really nice and has about a 95 mile range. Just short of giving him a round trip commute on a single charge.
 
Santa needs a bike without a motor - for his cholesterol.

It's interesting how some don’t believe in science, but believe in evolution so much they advance the cause.

The HP R-27 with a sidecar.

If they were making an updated version today they would need armed guards at the door.

Merry Christmas to all and Great Days Ahead.
