Do Cotters do a January sale? The lid I want is 60 euro cheaper there, so if I buy now (with 20% discount) then mcshop are cheaper, but it won't take much of a sale to make the Cotters price cheaper, and I can afford to wait.
I'm feeling just a tad guilty as mcshop were dead sound to deal with and no hassles with a return I had to do. Never ordered off Cotters online but the level of service in the shop is close to non-existent, but they are cheap!

Garmin 340 LM WE bike Satnav reduced from 299 euro to 199 euro in Aldi.

stewygriffin · 28-11-2016 7:04pm

Keyring LED torches 2 for 1.99 in Lidl including batteries, I got these a few years ago and well worth having. Available Monday 5th

http://www.lidl.ie/en/Offers.htm?action=showDetail&id=48745

stewygriffin · 28-11-2016 7:47pm

The only problem with them is that you cant actually press them on and keep them on.I bought 1 of them before in Lidl,and you have to keep your finger pressed on it for it to light,which is kinda crappy if you need to work on the bike by the roadside in the dark.Means you have only 1 hand free.

Still handy to have on the keyring and a decent enough light too.

Hotblack Desiato · 29-11-2016 1:32am

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.

Manys a time Ive held a small torch between me teeth while working on a bike with both hands.:)

Was in the local Lidl today and was surprised to see these out, picked up a pair...

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.

Got this headstock stand and rear stand off ghostbikes for under €71 delivered using parcel wizard.
They were on sale and got an extra 10% using NEWSLET10 code.

frozenfrozen · 06-01-2017 7:31pm

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

blade1 · 06-01-2017 7:36pm

frozenfrozen · 06-01-2017 8:05pm

just ordered. tried setting up a parcel wizard account but it wasn't sending me the sms to confirm the account so ended up paying 75 euro. thanks for posting it

blade1 · 06-01-2017 8:13pm

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?

blade1 · 06-01-2017 9:13pm

Bobbins would be the handiest.
What bike have u got?
Is there threading for adding bobbins on the swing arm?

frozenfrozen · 06-01-2017 9:20pm

k3 sv650s, fairly certain there are threads but I'd have to check to see what size thread

gerrowadat · 06-01-2017 10:02pm

15% off on motorcycleshop.ie until wednesday with offer code MOTORCYCLESHOP15 - top lads every time I've used them.

Hotblack Desiato · 06-01-2017 11:54pm

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

Check out the ONE TIME DEALS section on M&P. Some nice bargains to be had. Arai's from £199.

Hotblack Desiato · 08-01-2017 10:30pm

Arais just don't fit me.

Already ordered from motorcycleshop.ie, but thanks anyway.

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.

Read the last 6 pages my friend (quite a few bargains Ive allready posted) and then please try to stop complaining.;)

stewygriffin · 28-01-2017 12:09am

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.

Rukka are not cheap but regarded as a top brand. Excellent quality and will last at high quality for 8-10 years.

listermint · 30-01-2017 1:37pm

Huge sizes, i expect hence the price.

would pick one up no problem if they were my size.

Wossack · 30-01-2017 3:45pm

beige only

size wise seems to be somewhere between M and L in alpinestars sizing, so not the tent sizing you may expect..!

Would'nt think it is but Rukka gear is very expensive. If you do the mileage it is deffinitely worth it and with a no hassle 5 year warranty. Have mine 7 years and is still 100% waterproof
