    Should be closed sans the service or parts department.

    They are selling PPE so they can be open.


    I could buy shot glasses in Tesco earlier if I wanted. Was in a Euro type shop the other day selling party banners and all the toys still on sale. They definitely aren't essential.

    I suggest you get your facts correct 1st,before posting.
    You ain't got a clue.
    Go off for a spin or have a w@nk instead.
    You are probably more used to w@nking than motorbiking anyways.

    I've had a think about it and I think your best off looking at pictures of kittens on Instagram, in all in anyways.. ..

    Might help your mood.

    Makes sense.

    Shame PPE doesn't mean vat free. Is this the same EU wide I wonder.

    You got your level 5 "facts" wrong,but now you have been corrected with the "real facts".
    So now that you know that,you can go out and enjoy cracking the throttle open,or cracking 1 off instead.

    And by all means why dont you post a pic of the 1st option too,seen as you are a biker.

    Im not a biker now ? knock yourself out there you can look back through my post history here of changing the valve clearance spec on my 650, refurbishing my front shocks and rebuilding the front and rear brake calipers and swapping out and updating the rear shocks plus replacing the head bearing . And thats only in the last 18 months.

    But sure japfati or whatever your name is calling people **** on the internet for lols.

    Fanny off somewhere you spanner and take some pictures of puppies or something you might get your kick out of that.

    Anyway getting back to lids.
    Go into a shop,look around,try on a few lids,know how they should fit and the feel of them on your crown,cheeks and the chin/mouth gap.
    Ask for assistance if you ain't got a clue about fitting.
    Then ask for a good deal on the helmet you like or else go and buy it online.
    Very simple to try before you buy these days.

    Now I'm off out for a bike ride.
    Far too nice a day out there for the bikes to be sat in the garage....

    Helmet City in the UK have some good black friday deals on at the moment.
    Picked up a few good deals from them this time last year over at the Motorcycle Live in the NEC.

    I've bought 3 helmets since outgrowing my cheap starter lid.

    First was from Cotters at the RDS bike show for cheaper than the online alternatives.

    I replaced this a few weeks later after a low speed spill got the better of it (and not my face) but ordered it from helmet city as I knew the model and size I needed and Cotters couldn't match their price.

    Then bought a Shark Spartan carbon from Cotters on their open weekend, for 20% off the tag price which put it cheaper then the online/UK sites.

    I'd much prefer to buy local, try it on etc. But if I can save €50-100 quid on the exact same thing by ordering online it really is hard to justify it.
