If Santa Traded in his Reindeer for Motorcycles
December 15, 2009

As a child, I never got the whole Santa Claus thing. I couldn’t understand why Santa wore a snow suit but delivered gifts to Florida. I didn’t see how he can carry all those gifts in that little sled of his. I wondered how he got gifts down the chimney if someone lived in an apartment.

Most of all, I used to wonder about the reindeer. Why did he use reindeer, how were they able to fly, and how could they get all the way around the world overnight? I was a confused little kid.

Now my confusion about reindeer is all gone. Santa is from the North Pole and reindeer was basically his only option. So, he had to make them work.

If I were Santa, and since I live in Florida, I would probably use a herd of motorcycles instead. There are lots of motorcycle dealers here and I have lots of options.

• Rudolph: I’m not a sport bike guy but for the leader of the pack, I’d go with a Suzuki Hayabusa. It’s one of the fastest bikes available and will help me make the round the world trip in record time.
• Dasher: This would have to be another fast bike. I’d go with the Yamaha Vmax. It’s the fast cruiser available
• Dancer: In order to keep up with Dasher you need speed, horsepower, and torque, Dancer would be a Suzuki M109r.
• Prancer: Prancer needs to be both fast and nimble. The light weight v-twin powered Harley VRSC (V-rod) would do the trick.
• Vixen: Now this bike needs to be sleek, smooth, and sexy. Nothing fits that description better than the new Honda Fury.
• Comet: Comet needs to have power over the long haul and I couldn’t think of a better bike than the Victory Cross Roads
• Cupid: Nothing says love like a Harley Road Glide Custom.
• Donner: Donner needs to have lots of power, long haul ability, and extra storage for Santa’s stocking stuffers. Clearly, this would be a Harley Ultra Classic Electra Glide
• Blitzen: Not to be out-done by Donner, Blitzen would be a Victory Vision Tour.

Now that’s what I call a stable of reindeer. Everything I would need from speed, power, and storage capacity would be at my disposal. Too bad my garage is not big enough to fit them all.
