Jammy git.. your best motorbike related bargain?

[Eddie Hitler]

Picked up my Akito 1 piece leather suit today, almost new condition in black, perfect fit (with a tiny amount of breaking in), £20 all in.

Feel like i got a bargain, and feeling jammy, for once.

Whats your best been?

[fatpies]

A set of Nonfango paniers for 30p each.

Mildly ironic as I had just missed out on a Givi set which went for £95 just for the rack!. While I managed non Fango for the full setup.

The photos flatter them, but i'm still aware of how lucky I've been (with all the bikes I've owned and ridden). Even the ST2 hasn't depreciated much.

[bassmastergen...]

An Aprilia SR50 for free. Not great (very slow, chav magnet etc.) but it kept me busy over a winter fixing it and got me riding again after a very long time. A year on I decided I deserved something a bit better and flogged it for £550

A set of brand new Alpinestars ladies one piece leathers that were reduced by £200 because they were end of the line and the last set in store. Finding ladies bike gear that fits properly right off the peg is really hard for me and I was considering getting a M2M set which would have been damn expensive I rode to the shop on my bike with a rucksack, they wouldnt fit in so I had to get them posted home. Totally worth it!
