Even open in front of them, show them nothing is moving.
and tell them how upset mummy will be when the gift doesnt work on xmas day

The last week I had the Z4 out I pulled up to a gas station where a guy was filling his Ducati. He finished, paid, fired it up and I started drooling......the sound was soooooo sweet as he pulled away! Power and refinement.

Thanks for all the advice Chaps, I've tried most but it would appear that Mum has a stronger hold. No doubt I'll find out on Xmas day.

Oh Harley vs Ducati
Duke for me but I sold the bike ages ago before I wrote it and myself off. Kept the helmet and jacket though!!
