Black Friday, what you got ?

[weeksy]

Yeah, bike stuff... not random Amazon shite

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arai-Rapide- ... 1438.l2649

Gearchange doing good discounts

Several KTM dealers are doing 25% of power wear and power parts too.

The Arai Rapide though is singing "press the button, press it now.... buy it ... buy it...."

[Mr Moofo]

TBH - despite the Retail Armageddon going on, I haven’t found anything above and beyond “ a few quid off”
But I did buy a vacuum cleaner yesterday _ so that is the wife’s Christmas present sorted ....

I need a waterproof , breathable mountain bike jacket - but on the basis I will probably fall off and trash it on ten first day, I think I will be buying one from decathalon

I am on the hunt for a Gore R7 trail running Shakedry jacket, but it’s not coming down enough to warrant a purchase yet

[Mr. Dazzle]

Already bought the very Helmet weeksy is looking at 20% off. Goes great with my jacket!



Currently scouting around for tyres, probably not many deals though.

Whitewalls, to go with your riding outfit?

Made out wood if possible too.

A set of 1980s Avons would give a fair impression of that

Artisan organic GF wood of course, made from hemp and guava

I'm in no position to criticise someone for buying something for how it looks, but, the new Arai Rapide is a bit weird in that they've got rid of the side pods, from memory the first helmet I saw with side pods was an Arai in about 1985, and I thought the side pods were cool.

... yellow helmet...

I did think about that lid to go with my yellow XSR900 that I haven't bought yet. But it just reminds me of lego for some reason...

I absolutely love it... i think both the yellow one and the blue/multicoloured one is just superb, it's so much more glossy than the pics show.

I'm struggling to justify it though having bought a pair of Sportsmart TT along with booking Silverstone this week, not forgetting a new rear Monarch RC3 shock at the end of last week.

I don't remember 1985 cause I was born in 1984 I obviously don't remember the 70s either. Thus I have no preconceptions or baggage around what is and isn't acceptable retro cool.

I'm like one of those 14 year olds you see wearing Nirvana t shirts.

I was born in 1967, obviously I'm far to old to define what is cool and what is not.
I was just commenting that I prefer helmets with side pods, I'm not sure about the ghastly colours but the shell is a nice shape, I could be tempted by a plain white one.

I had a plain black rapide like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-ARAI ... SwdINe-z73

Went to buy a big telly. Not sure 65", 70" or 75"

Too many to choose from. My head nearly exploded.
Gonna Google and go back tmrw.

We just had our 55" curved replaced (under insurance after my youngest threw a ball at the screen) with one of these...

When the big tellies first came out, normal HD input didn't look good. But apparently the new ones upscale. We love the 55 but that will go upstairs. Sod it, we're getting a 75".
Our MotoGP parties will be epic
