The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread

Ah, you're researching self medication?

There's probably an entire chapter on aircraft mechanics.

It's never too late to learn about yourself.

It's an old purchase, but now mine

The missus was clearing the top floor and decided that we don't need this speaker up there.

So it's now in the man cave

Looks like an Easter Island head. The robot edition.

I looked up the name on the cover, it belonged to this bloke:

I may need an intervention...

[ZRX61]

Based upon a post I saw on here, I bought a book. This is how it showed up:



FFS...

My (Barbadian) mate Garry used to always have this stuff and i used to be able to get it in Tesco etc, but haven't seen it in local supermarkets for years. God knows why I just thought about it, but checked Amazon and lo and behold its on there!

They go perfect outside as we don't have comfy stuff out there

Bought a new off-road lid - I've not had a new mx one for ten years or so & I'm blown away by how much they've improved.

I swear I've had heavier bicycle helmets.

Not today (obvs, it's 7am) but Saturday, a nice pair of comfy and quite smart (could happily stroll about in public in 'em), Dewalt steel toecap safety boots. (Toecap is actually aluminium alloy).

They're rather well made (removable insole/arch support etc) and half the price of comparable hiking boots. Made in China, of course.

(Got some paving slabs to shift).

One of those Knox armoured undershirts. I'd often thought one might come in handy and finally bought one.

It's ace. Really pleased with it. Although I've not tested it as such it seems very well made.

Very happy with mine.

Same, It's the 'every jacket's a bike jacket' that I like above all.

[mangocrazy]

Yes; I've got two bike jackets - as soon as I got the Knox Action shirt I took all the (not particularly wonderful) body armour out of both of them and just rely on the Knox shirt for protective gear now, underneath the outer jacket(s).

In France I use one of their Urbane Pro shirts. It has additional abrasion resistance over the Action shirts and can be used on its own. It's ventilated, but tough and has enough stretch. It's made a world of difference to my riding in hot weather.
