Spotted a bargain residing on the floor in a corner by all the other history books, don't mind if I do. Large tear, beside some marks on the page edges, is about the only damage. Redundant to pay £25 because it's a first edition 2016 re-print of the 2004 original so is next to worthless and since I'm no stranger to charity shops I've seen worse.

No idea if it's any good but be a while before I get round to it. Can't really go out with a list when it comes to book bargain hunting because never know what's going to appear and tickle the fancy.

A used Nikon Coolpix AW100 waterproof camera. £40.

https://theawesomer.com/photos/2011/08/082911_nikon_coolpix_aw100_camera_4.jpg

Tough, so it shouldnt break and used/cheap so I dont care if it does. Best recipe for things I'll actually use!

If it didn't save the last radiator, why buy a new one?

Because it was something slightly heavier than a pebble that damaged it.
Spill counter now updated.

Two new Renthal gearbox sprockets for the FJ1200.The 18 tooth will drop the revs down by about 1000 rpm at 70 mph to make cruising more economical on long journeys.But I have a 17 tooth option as well,just in case the 18t does not give me the acceleration that I need when pulling out of sharp uphill corners like I experienced in the Dolomite Alps last year.

Oil plus filter for the car.
On my car, an oil change is easier than it is on the bike.

Bought 5L of WD40 and immediately broke the spray bottle that came with it. So bought this pump one today, seems to work well as I can get WD40 20ft now Laughing

3M retractable ratchet straps from Halfords. Brilliant.
https://www.halfords.com/camping-leisure/trailers-towing/trailer-accessories/halfords-3m-retractable-ratchet-straps
I was moving house and remembered the faff last time trying to secure a bike in a van with a tangle of ordinary ratchet straps which jammed solid. On that occasion an over-eager neighbour ended up tying it like rope, which did the job but we wasted lots of time. You'd think ordinary ratchet straps would be easy to use but judging by the Halfords reviews I'm not the only one who struggled previously.
