The paddock stand for $49.99 looks good i will be onto that.

the thermal stuff is not made for fat bastards suppose they think we don't need it

Teff will be onto the emergency cleaning kit

And that Italian for Dummies book could be handy

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

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!

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...
