Wonderings:

TopSpeed has an article that asks; ÔÇ£What Would Santa Drive?ÔÇØ

They go on to give the top five answers that RM Auctions ventured a guess at. This begs the question

If you were Santa what would you RIDE? In addition to the sleigh pulled by the Reindeer Gang, and the _____ in the stable, what would you have for your two wheeled adventures?

If you were Santa what would you RIDE? In addition to the sleigh pulled by the Reindeer Gang, and the _____ in the stable, what would you have for your two wheeled adventures?

A Fire Engine Red HD Softtail Classic.

Maybe a VROD to make better time.

Christmas Eve is no time for Final Drive failure. Have to have Belt Drive!

If you were Santa what would you RIDE? In addition to the sleigh pulled by the Reindeer Gang, and the _____ in the stable, what would you have for your two wheeled adventures?

Since Santa is a gentleman of significant girth, his cage would have to be on the larger size, possibly a Russian GAZ 66?

As for the bike, it would have to at least have a side car - have you tried to get out of the tundra to the continent? Lots of room for the parcels, 2WD optional, and of course, the correct colour.

Shame on you Paul for suggesting the HD Softtail! Have you ever tried to pack anything on that bike? How do you expect him to get all those parcels around??
