nope, the helmets, back protectors, jackets and trousers, intercoms (r2p and r2r) waterproof suits, kidney belts, tank bags and more.


that reminds me - if i get one of the waterproof over suits how do i know which one to get size wise? size above my normal to go over bike gear - or are they made with that in mind?

lol. this might seem like a stupid question, but what do kidney belts 'do'? its just i've always wondered if they are worth having, but with all of the gear and a back protector every time i go out - not sure if it was necessary...

got a tank bag here, good but the zips, well the flappy bit you pull on the zips can break off very easy. The actually closing ability of the bag isn't effected though.

Don't get a disc lock. I slowly started to pull away in Bucharest with mine on my rear wheel and it just snapped clean in two. I was amazed at how easily it broke.

Not a stupid question at all, i remember when i first got into biking i was aware these things called kidney belts existed but i thought they were just for old crusty riders that got cold with a little wind.

My leather jacket is a bit loose now (no doubt doing wonders for the protection value it offers me) but i often find the space on your back just above your boxer/belt line gets exposed and i end up with a builders arse/back thing, or i have to mess around tucking my t-shirts into me trousers, The kidney belt did have a removable thermal thing to keep you warm but i just used it as a kind of t-shirt belt if that makes sense, basically so i dont have to worry about my jacket riding up on me and then having to adjust it at traffic lights etc.

Not for everyone but i just brought one because it was cheap and ended up really liking it. Would also be good for keeping you warm on longer rides/touring. Thumbs Up

Bollocks they only have it after I go away on the bike. Maybe my local Lidls will have it earlier... off to check the webby.

Faraz: think it was in march - but maybe it's stock they didn't shift then and now its on sale again now - or they had an offer on it again and coudlnt pass up. whatever the reason, it doesn't matter - it's lidl's!!!! Cool

Endless,Nameless: if i remember and i'm likely to) i'll bring this thread back up on the thursday before or something as an extra reminder - but i thought i'd post now as an early heads up Wink

TheDonUk: thanks for that, you've saved me a few quid there. i have a force field back protector - which works for keeping my t-shirt in place too, but then, i also have my textile trousers too high up cos they are slightly too long - but if my jacket came up in a fall - they're there still so it's a good thing, i dont generally have the problem of my jacket rising either, but that's because i was given a Alpine* jacket and it's either a size large or X large - i probably really need a medium or small ... but a £150 free jacket i had it all the same Smile

Edit:
ZaphodBeeble: cant you give a friend a shopping list and some money to get the stuff for you? i'll post up a list of what's on offer and prices for you all tomorrow after work if i remember to get the leaflet from the work kitchen.

Nice one, and as you've said, please bring this back up the day before Very Happy Thumbs Up

Edit: Are you sure it's not just your local store or something? Just a thought as it's not online.

I'd like to use it on the trip. I'm gonna need a tank bag at the very least but I'd like to get some radios too. We're going on the 3rd of August. One of the lads is doing his test on the 30th of July so I'd like to stay in contact with him heh. He bought a bike last week on finance without realising that he needs a license to get it paid out. Smile It's all a bit nuts really but it should be fun.

AppleJoe. i dont think it is just my local store as it wa sin the leaflet which lists loads of 'local' stores ... covering the whole of south wales, and maybe bristol. it isnt online - but maybe closer to the date it will be. offers are normally put on their website a week in advance - so saturday it might go up. but its in the leaflet - its not even online for my local store so i'd guess its not just my shop.


ZaphodBeeble: i have a few different bike to bike set ups if your interested, including the lidl's ones. depends what sort of riding you do as to if their really any good, slower/town riding their fine - but get onto faster roads and you'll not be able to use them clearly till you slow down again anyway - but i find them handy around town and even out on faster roads for when you slow down and have something to say/ask/laugh about

You can pick up a bandana for £1.99, a magnetic tank bag for £16.99 or a man’s leather jacket for a snip – less than £50.

Open-face, flip-face and full-face helmets are available too and should you want to chat to a passenger, there’s an intercom system for just £5.99.

But it’s not just about clothing. The automatic charger could prove useful, and only costs a fiver, and there’s a disc lock that belts out a 97decibel alarm. The extensive first aid kit’s only £2.99.

Carrying a first aid kit can be pretty handy. I once stumbled across a young German boy lying in the road after flipping his ER5 in the Black Forest.

You should have seen his poor face when I got my latex gloves out . . .

the bike to bike ones are now going to be £20 (last time it was 25) they come with headset and PTT, home charger, car/nike charger, but you need to buy two (or more)

Faraz: i'm pretty sure the jacket from lidl's is textile not leather ... infact, i'm certain! and i dont remember seeing any other options there.

Not tried Lidl's but I got one from Aldi and it's great, still wear it after 3 years doing 24 miles a day all year round, just starting to lose it's waterproofing. I'd buy another no probs, nice and warm with a removable thermal lining, shoulder and elbow armour and padding in the back.
I'll certainly be looking at the ones in Lidl, you don't need to buy a known make to get quality gear.
I wouldn't buy a helmet though, you don't know how many kids have been bouncing it on the floor!
