A puncture repair kit and a cable repair kit to keep under the saddle.

I would buy two lots of 4 lite containers of semi-synthetic oil as they come with a free oil filter worth £8 or so.

And with the change I would buy a visor cleaning kit.

Some draggin jeans or kevlar trousers if they are any good would be helpful save wearing the £160 revit trousers.

You could donate it to a worthwhile cause.

The pinky pocket charity. Any monies sent will be put to good use by pinky.

Besides I could use new gloves. Laughing

If you bought those you might have enough change to buy one of those handy oil draining trays they do.

This is HG we're talking about, though.

Oil change tray looks tempting, nice design and cleaner than my current method (into an old decoraoting paint roller tray for inspection, then a small plastic drum until it goes to the dump).

I have breakdown cover which will cover punctures, but the convenience of a kit would be good. Being stuck on the A13 during rush hour for 2 hours or more is NOT nice, from experience! ESPECIALLY during winter in the dark!

I also spotted that they do their own brand of 'gel' cleaner, which isn't too expensively priced. Anyone used it? Is it any good, especially with cack around the engine area, shocks etc? All those hard to reach places...

I have pretty much all the clothing I need, although it's a few years old and some of it might benefit from a 'refresh' but I do like the thought of buying something new as well.

Thanks for all the replies.. plenty of ideas so far... Karma
