So I've been given £100 as a xmas pressy to spend on my bike, I've already spent £10 on a decent set of bar ends but don't know what else to get.
£100 as a pressy is brill but in bike parts it doesn't really buy a lot, I can only think of maybe getting a new bike jacket with it. Any gadget or fun ideas?

Thumbs Up

personally I would keep it until I find something I want or need. No point spending for the sake of it.

trackday? It's what everyone else will suggest.

If it was me i'd use the money to spend a day riding and have a nice country pub lunch somewhere.

Hmmm scottoiler possibly, though I've heard bad things about these when they go wrong?

Another option is to get a windshield and some hand guards fitted, might have to add a little of my own money for both though. Trouble is windshields for my bike that fit are hard to find, I can only see one online shop that sells them, and I really don't know if my bike would look good with these - any thoughts?

(Pic of my bike and the shield I'm thinking of).

Muc-off, petrol and tyres or if there's something about your bike that's bugging you buy something to fix it otherwise just ride it.

Edit - I got employee of the month and won £250 in vouchers which i chose busters.

What did i buy? C+S, Front Headstock stand, Brake pads, muck off, chain riveter and textile trousers.

C+S are ready as spare, front headstock stand was a treat, pads + Muc off were really needed, riveter is handy and trousers were needed so go for stuff you need unless you can't find anything. I also had £100 which is going towards a bellypan once Powerbronze come back after xmas.

with the state of my bike.. probably replace afew parts that are due to be out soon. Strip the bike, and get the engine, 'box and frame powder coated black.
Buy the big 5litre jugs of FS365, a load of oil, and consumables for the bike so that I'd never have to worry about that for yonks.

If it was me I'd either buy a decent screen (a good screen can make a lot of difference to a bike) or a digigear indicator if I was after a gadget.

i liked mine for about 2 weeks, till the novelty wore off.
i found it made my fingers feel colder, silly i know but when your palms are red hot your fingers seem to get jealous and punish you for it.

I stripped them off yesterday and the origional grips feel absolutely brill now, also there's no more worry of the battery going flat or any horrible wires fouling the steering

J&S 20% off sale Dr Bike heated grips ( same as oxford just branded differently) £26. Dead easy to fit and worked really well today.

Oxford ones are only £36 anyway at J&S also get 20% on top of that. They also do online shopping too. Thumbs Up
