pmsl.... this is me your talkin to ..  lol                                                                                                                                                                              

I see that for some reason they're selling motorcycle chain cleaner as part of the cars promotion. Not that I use the stuff anyway on the BMW...lol                                                                                                                                                                             

I,ve got one of these covers, its kept young Duke warm and dry all winter! It has a flock lining so it dont scratch yer paint reckon I'll be gettin another, and the 2 peice suit an the underwear and the gloves!!! Good old Lidl, January sales a bit late this year but its been worth the wait. All good stuff too. Em                                                                                                                                                                                

I bought one (well, two) of those tank bags last year.   VERY impressive for the money, both in quality and adaptability but you will need a protective cloth between your tank and the bag just to prevent chafing.   (Their socks are also pretty good)                                                                                                                                                                             

ooohh.. my nearest Lidl is 9 miles away ..means me having to go after work on Monday.. hope its still open and theyve got some left                                                                                                                                                                              

Only 9 miles Kaz? nearest to me is Whitby or Driffeild! if the Rotherham one is out of stock you could try the one in Donny? or there's one at Wadsley bridge. Em                                                                                                                                                                                

I may have to take a trip down there, as I've just recieved delivery of my new lid and even though its xxs its still to bloody big, I think I may have to stick to my full face because I can't seem to find an open face small enough.                                                                                                                                                                              

Have you tried an Airoh, Scary... espesh the TR1? (It is a Jet style helmet with removable chin guard.)   They seem to come up very small...                                                                                                                                                                               

Cheers Em   gonna get one, somehow, theres 2 in Sheffield, one in Rotherham and one in Osset.. for starters lol  Dint know there was one in Donny                                                                                                                                                                               

To be honest TC I can't remember what I've tried now, there have been so many, I have the same problem with hats and wigs, but I will keep looking as it does look daft wearing a full face on a cruiser.                                                                                                                                                                              

My winter jacket is a lidl one, bought about 4 years ago and it still looks new. Would definately recommend them. Only thing i would say is the sizing is on the small side                                                                                                                                                                              

EEPS!! >>wears full face on cruiser<<   I get my TR1 tomorrow hopefully (birthday present from bro) so will let you know what it is like...   But back to topic... will be heading down to Lidls - that rain suit looks promising as a packaway to keep on the bike just in case.                                                                                                                                                                             

Did anybody else go shopping at Lidl today?   I went down this morning. Bought one of the jackets (to go with the trousers I bought last year), the rainsuit (to leave on the bike), the thermal top & bottoms and a couple of the first aid kits (good as a starter for a basic kit to keep on the bike, anyway).   The quality of the stuff is actually a lot better than some of the stuff I saw on the trade stands at the MCN show this weekend!   Probably won't stand up to day-to-day wear but for very occasional use I am sure it will be just fine.                                                                                                                                                                             

I took a stroll down, 2 x rainsuits, 2x boots (pairs), socks, long johns and gloves.   I'm skint now and its all your fault TC!
