[c-m]

Couldn't see a thread, so heads up. Lidl gear is here 11th March

It looks worse than in previous years, but the tank bag appears ok and has a huge capacity.

[Ditto]

I like the look of these

That all in one rain suit is spot on, going to get one of them tomorrow, nice one.

[Tarmacsurfer]

For anyone who hasn't used them, those rain overshoes are worth checking out. Rather like muffs for the feet.

Whilst I haven't specifically used those Lidl ones I used to spend all winter (despatching) in the Heine Gericke equivalents. Tucked into the bottom of the trouser they'd keep feet dry all day, also noticably warmer with even the slight wind shielding from material that thin. Well worth £6.

I bought there B-Square tank bag last year, i wanted it for when i get a got myself a 600. At the time, i attached it to my 125 with bungees, because the tank is plastic, great bag for the price, cost me something stupid like £16 or something. My mate is borrowing it at the moment, says it's brilliant

Looking forward to putting it on the Bandit, won't need a rucksack for when i pick up a few bits and bobs from Tesco

I'd recommend the tank bag, at that price for 32 litres, it's a steal

Opinions on the Boots (well the look of them at least)

Mine are shot and £25 is drawing me in

The timing couldn't be better as I need to get some gear for the bike I'm picking up in a couple of weeks. Do people reckon the jacket and/or gloves will be worth the money, or just fall apart?

edit: I might grab the waterproof suit, the rucksack and maybe the tank bag while I'm at it...I'll end up spending a fortune

These threads crop up every year, and in the past i have really rated my b-square tankpad (had it 4 years now)

And guess what... Its still going strong, the best £16 i ever spent

[northernmonke...]

How do we know it starts on the 11th, the link doesn't say anything?

[UnspeedySam]

[Bambam3]

The tank bag ok for a big chain or is it better to have a bag on the tail if it's got summut heavy in?

[BanditJeff]

[UnspeedySam]

Yeah...the boots look a bit naff to me too. I'll stick with my Doc Martens for the time being.

Shopping list current stands at Rucksack, Gloves, Waterproof Suit, Tank Bag, Jacket and Motorcycle Cover. Couldn't have come at a better time

I might take a punt on those over-gloves in a very big size. Handy if you're caught in the rain.

And one of these:

the gloves aren't great. The inner linning comes out and they leak after a while.

The tank bag they had the last two years was ace. Mine is 3 years old and I have used almost every day. Ok its dying now, but I have really abused it.

This new one looks interesting. 32L fucking hell

Do not whatever you do get the disc lock (unless its for the looks). It is very weak. My GPZ snapped it clean in two when i tried to pull away.

Rain suit looks cheap. I bet it leaks after 12months, but thats ok for £12

[Ditto]

What would you do with a tank bag that you couldnt with a rucksack?

Or am i missing something? My rucksack seems big enough for most things.
