Saw these offers in their 'flyer' yesterday. Some amazing deals.
I'm going for the undergarments set (long johns thingys and extra long top - perhaps next years frosy rollocks run wont be quite so frosty lol) and the fiver intercom!
The waterproof maps look good value too. Not sure I'd trust a £25 lid, but it appears to have all the right safety stickers.
They appear to have a mini-tankbag for £2.99, looks big enough for phone, fags, wallet etc.
How do they make a profit at those prices? It must cost that much to distribute the product to the store in the first place.

I'd say £25 for a tested safe Helmet is great value.

I've got excellent thermal underwear from Lidl (or was it Aldi) along with an excellent tank bag (£25) waterproof oversuit (£12) and ski gloves (£10) that keep me toasty in temperatures that have any normal biker stay at home. My thinsulate lined combat troose (£12) are also well toasty and the cheapo (but warm) ski jacket is brill to wear over the leather bike jacket.

Bought some motorcycle trousers. I see I have 28 days to get to like them...........oh well out with the hosepipe to check that they are waterproof.  Not having any luck sorting out my leaking boots (Alpinestars). Shop says they have to be returned to Italy. I said strange, since they were made in Bosnia! I think the sale of goods act will come into play. |

Gloves, thermal long-johns, Kidney belt, mini tankbag and battery charger for a mate.
Gloves seem really nice for summer(ish) use, will be trying them out tonight and tomorrow.

Tank bag with map pocket and a chocolate disk-lock. I wanted the boot-liners and gloves too, but Lidl don't accept credit cards and I only had enough cash on me for the above.

Gloves, socks and his and her's thermal vests and long-johns.
Should have been a fly on the wall at the communal lycra fitting party last night! Time we'd managed to get them on and off again we were both rolling about the bedroom floor in fits of laughter. ;D ( boy, they're tight fitting!)

The magnetic "Man Bags" are excellent for going through passport control etc, and you can just pick them up in petrol stations and toilet stops and take your valuables with you. Wearing the kidney belt at work today as I managed to put me back out yesterday (probably whilst peering into Helga's innards !!) Dave ;D |

Dave,
I guess my comment is entirely predictable, but if your back isn't better in a few days, go to a chiropractor. Don't delay like lots of folk do. By all means also go to see your GP for some free ibuprofen but don't avoid seeing a chiropractor. An acute back injury is easy (and cheap) to fix. But, if you wait the standard 6 weeks on drugs to "see how it goes"; the condition will become chronic and take ages to fix. The cost will then be high in terms of lost earnings, personal pain & anguish and medical fees. NHS is still horribly slow on non emergencies.
You are hopefully nowhere near this bad, but for the record...
Surgery should be only an absolute last resort. Even if you have medical insurance don't go there unless there really is no other option. A chiropractor won't steer you away from medical treatment if there is no other option. But the treatment will most likely allow you avoid the risks and costs of major surgery.
By the way 1 in 80 back ops get infected and that could well be an MRSA type infection so with risks like that its best avoided until there really is no other option.

............Not having any luck sorting out my leaking boots (Alpinestars). Shop says they have to be returned to Italy. I said strange, since they were made in Bosnia! I think the sale of goods act will come into play. Funny I had the same problem with a pair of A/stars ROAM boots that leaked after only 6 mths and they said the same thing about them needing to be returned to Italy. As i only own one pair of boots, I asked what I was supposed to do without them meanwhile! Eventually he put them in a bucket of water and that was enough to show im they leaked like a seive. I got a new pair there and then AND a receipt showing a new 12mth warranty from that date.... good job as the new ones leaked again and eventually I gave up and got a full refund again which was used in credit against a spanky pair of Daytonas which have never leaked despite some pretty harsh weather riding conditions and are much nicer all round tbh Good luck  |

Hi Chiro Dave Thanks for your concern mate, but you are pushing an open door. I have been seeing a chiro for a bad neck for several months now and by coincidence my monthly appointment was tonight. He decided my back was too inflamed to treat at the moment, and said to come back if the anti inflamms don't work by the end of the week. As far as back ops are concerened, been there done that and got the zipper - had a laminectomy aged 21 (ish) Cheers Dave ;D |
