    For instance, today I've justified a new lid because I can't be arsed removing the shaded foggy from the lid I'm using at the mo, I start work early in the morning and as its dark going in, will need a lid thats clear on the trip in, but has a pull down shady on the way home
    I don't need it, but I can justify it, its easy, anyone else?

    yup, all the time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill


    Yep but what though? serious3?
    I have it in my power to justify a go pro 3, cause it might help me in court. and I need one to show I'm in the right.

    I can justify other things too haha

    I justified a quad for myself by telling myself I'd put a seat on the back for the young lad..... That was 2 years ago....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,329 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    I justified selling a bmw gs and getting a ducati hypermotard because it's more practical


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭serious3


    Oh I'm trying not justify an arai tour helmet, coz my shark s700 doesn't suit the style of bike I have at the minute....

    TOOLS. No matter what tool aldi or lidl have I can justify buying it because I might need it some day for the bike or general diy. I mean like I have a poxy welder from aldi:P WTF am I doing with a welder:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,102 ✭✭✭✭Del2005


    I justified buying the bike. Had absolutely no need for it and nowhere to keep it

    Lidl and Aldi are a curse sometimes, this sums them up nicely!

    Yep when I go to the Bike Show in Birmingham in 2 weeks I will be getting ALOT OF STUFF I and try to justify it on the plane home!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill


    I've justified the aldi/lidl saw, only a tenner and comes with a couple of blades with a bit of heft to it. I may need it sometime in the future, and would hate to be without it - Justified :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    I've always biked on a shoe string.. But I justify wheelies all the time with the excuse that I actually don't ride very fast (lets forget the three penalty points received a few weeks ago :p )

    Like Richard Tea I buy tools all the fecking time, and mostly Aldi/Lidl too :o

    Ditto.
    Trying to avoid going too mad tbh.

    Strong Sterling this year mean everything will be dearer. I'm going to price stuff here first so I can do a quick sum on the day. I suspect some stuff will be cheaper here this time.

    There's always a workaround, but how do you guys justify a trip to Birmingham to save a couple of quid? Did youse bunk off maths in secondary? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,247 ✭✭✭goodlad


    Pretty sure a return flight was about 30 euro when booked early. And the place is attached to the Airport so there is no travel expense.

    Depending on what you buy you will deffo make a very good saving.

    Two of us going for the day: €59.99.

    ...cheaper than drving to Galway, when you add in the tolls on the M6 from Galway...

    Galwaytt, I'm not convinced, 60 quid and all the other incidentals that have to be added on, do not justify a lid at a knock down price.
    However, if you intend going to Birmingham for a holiday on that particular date - Justified :)

    Deffo not worth the outlay IMHO, compared to the RST leathers. Both are 1.3 to 1.4 mm leather and triple stitched. In fact if your dainese leathers need repairing they are sent to RST to be done. FACT.

    So really you are paying for the name and a nice colour scheme. Not worth the extra €500 over RST

    Return flights are costing me €20 to Birmingham, I will also get to do the Yamaha motocross for free and see all the latest bikes and technology. Absolute bargain even if I don't buy a thing. Even with the exchange rate I saved € 145 on a helmet there last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Vikings


    Bought some RST Paragon IV pants yesterday. Cause I wanted to.

    If i want to see a range of bikes I'd have to travel from one end of the country to the other. ... and still only see a few. Birmingham has them all over one roof.

    And I can try some out too.

    No contest, bargain of the year.

    Don't think you can road test them mate, there was an offer there last year but you had to have a full "English" license, which is a tad white tbh. People will be coming from all over Europe to this show.

    I know a few people who race that would disagree with this. Two of them had the RST Pro Series fall apart in one crash and have had multiple spills in other stuff.
    Granted you'll pay for the higher end stuff but it definitely last better in general if you are intending flinging yourself down a track multiple times. The RST is good, cost effective stuff though. And for road use will usually do the job just as well as anything


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,358 ✭✭✭Into The Blue


    I justify everything in (x) multiples of €100.. Saying I'd spend that in (x) amount of Friday nights...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 581 ✭✭✭DubVelo


    Tools. Sure I'm actually saving money I'd otherwise have to spend paying the garage.

    May only use tool once (if at all) and then lose it. :o

    Man who has the most tools by the time he dies, wins. :pac:

    No worries, think it came down to about 23, and yes morning time, actually think it was about 11:20 .
    I looked it over, thought there were a few too many worrisome one stars for it though

    So black friday is this friday. I will see what i can justify in the sales.

    Got a Two Brother power tip for my exhausts to take the DB down about 10 and the dopes sent me the wrong part so they just refund me. Will be ordering the part from somewhere else on friday and will see what else is on sale.

    US based companies usually have savage sales on for black friday.

    Curiosity got the better of me over the weekend and I wanted to see if I could find a one piece set of leather that would fit me. I'm a short arse. A 5ft something hobbit. Tried on various RST suits, and ended up in a size 40 uk Tracktech Evo.

    Retailed in the store for £399. Quick google search and found one online for £249.00. Didn't think twice, ordered it, and was delivered today.

    Fits like a glove, actually a bit too tight in places, but hoping it'll give a bit. Length wise it is perfect.

    Well chuffed.
