    That's true, but in practice you need to use a hand to point a torch where you want it anyway, unless you have a head torch.

    For the price and small size of these they are very good.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    M&S are doing merino wool base layers (tops & trousers) - like this for example

    They're around 30 blips, some more, some less, depending on the 'warmth' (weight).

    I got the heaviest/extra warm trousers (bought in store) and they are excellent - very high quality & warm.

    And they're almost half the price as the same offering from Knox, Spada, etc.

    that's exactly what I need, do you need to get a different pin on the headstock part for different bikes?

    Just in case you are not sure how to raise the bike on a headstock stand..
    It pivots so you'll more or less have it folded in half when sliding it in to position for the pin to go into its place.
    As you raise it,it straightens out.
    You need to have the bike on the rear stand first.

    i'll keep the phone in my pocket so I can text for help if it traps me underneath it :pac: thanks for the tip. I've never put a bike up on a rear stand before either, I suppose I'll need to order those little bobbins too for the lifters back there to slot into?

    Bobbins would be the handiest.

    Is there threading for adding bobbins on the swing arm?

    You beat me to it :)

    Pricing up a Shoei lid at the moment, surprised how expensive Louis are even before adding delivery. Visorshop.com (Crossans) and Helmet City are off the wall too even though helmets are zero VAT in the UK.

    What's the story with the Shoei adjustable cheek pads, does the lid come with a selection of sizes or what? Been wearing Shoeis for years but never had a lid with these.

    Edit: apparently you get the standard size ones with the lid, you can order the altenative sizes if you want it tighter or looser (oo-er) but most people won't need to.

    15% off a lid is a nice discount, it means I could get a nice pair of winter gloves and a couple of bits and pieces and still pay less than the price of the lid alone :)

    Picked up a pair of RST Tracktech Evo R race gloves yesterday.
    Only used twice and still smell of fresh leather and Kangaroo leather too.
    RRP is 130 euro,got them for 75.
    So I got a bargain.

    I have the RST TrackTech Evo gloves,but the Evo R is a grippier glove with much more finger and wrist protection in it.

    Telling everyone about a pair of gloves NOBODY else can get at that price, is NOT a Bargain Alert. Its more nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Look- what- I- got. :confused::confused:

    Some cheap DIY stuff in Aldi next Thursday that would be handy for a workshop/garage and the bike.

    Metal spray paint and vernier calipers are some of the items I would go for.....spraying metal bike parts or measuring motorbike parts like nuts n bolts accurately.

    Telling people he bought a pair of second hand gloves somewhere is not particularly helpful either.
