Is this another discussion about what helmets are worth with the AS/NZ sticker, they have all passed the same test as your new $1000 Shoei, but it must be about $930 safer

get 2 stands
1 for front and 1 for rear
fat bastards, they make xl thermals and they stretch so you should be right
draggins look ok
the socks are great , they even have L + R labels for the dummies ;)
I bought a couple of pair of socks (last year) and I find them quite good, find them a lot more comfortable than using work sox in your riding boots.
Might go and buy some more me thinks.

Interesting point, how effective or how stringent is the test if a $69 helmet can pass it ?
Cheers on the socks [thumbsup] I'll get some of those.

you had me worried there for a second!
Got some socks.
Tried on the leader jacket - it was awfully stiff and inflexible.
They had sold out of paddock stands (I have a DP rear but wanted something to lift the front wheel).
No sign of the 'mid-layers'.
Helmets looked cheep.
Oh well!

Stephen,........A company by the name of Kaneg has universal front stands on special this month for $70

Food for thought mate........and is up Gosford way.....
Got me a couple of pairs of socks, a couple of balaclava's and a couple of mid layers.
Almost got run over by 5-10 other blokes bounding into the store looking for bargains.
The bloke who got the one and only paddock stand that I could was guarding it like it was made of gold....
$90 for the lot, happy as...

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to go Thurs, but picked up some socks, midtop and pants this arvo.
Is your surname Carter by any chance ? If so we got the same name !
cheers Steve

Nope, but the Christian names are the same.
Brian, thanks for the link, I will look into it (if I can't find any Aldi ones left!). Any experience with them?
I had a look at them last week......more solid than Aldi's.....hence the extra $'s
Going up that way next week so i will grab one.....
