Got the boy an Arai at a total of 30% off as he has decided to get through his bike license and got myself a set of heated grips for the Fazer for winter at roughly half price.

The bar muffs i had on the bigger bikes wont fit without fouling all the lines and cables too much so its heated grips instead while the students freeze :D ..... (we are slowly fitting heated grips to the bigger bikes for the DAS students)

I could have spent a load of money on bike kit for next year i saw while browsing but refrained ........ might still do :evil:

Had a one piece vented set a few years ago ...... great on the bike, a pain in the arse at all other times. Bought as i was going to France in the height of summer on my ZX636 so of course Kawasaki green, lumo yellow and logo's all over. Not exactly subtle :P

The last lid I bought because it looked cool was this...

...and whilst it does actually look cool I've only ever worn it once because I have better ones.

I need a helmet sort out actually, I've got favourites that are about 20yrs old and I'm sure I should throw them out because if they're sat there then I'll wear them and ignore the new ones.

I'll openly admit to never being stylish, trendy or kewul.


But that is gopping :| :shock: :wtf:

Nothing particularly massive or exciting, but got 20% off one of these, to replace the (far too soft) standard Yam one on the R6 shock I'm grafting onto the RC390

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...

It's epic!
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 :mrgreen:
The Moto GP (and everything tbh) is awesome on the 75..
Friend of ours has the £800 version from pcworld/currys which tbh looked fine to me, obviously I've not done a direct comparison between that and mine. (I also wouldn't have paid £3k for mine)
