Cheap !!! - Ward P - 11-08-2012
Got a couple of Bike bits from Aldi over the years, but this one takes the cake. Please note- This is for my 9 year old daughter, so only for trips around town, short slow trips. Won't be trying to break records with her on the back.
Helmet. Has the correct AS stickers on helmet and both(yes it came with a spare!!) Visors. Has a soft carry/storage bag. And came with a spare set of cheek pads. Not quite a SHOEI . . . bit it fits her perfectly . .. and cost $69.95
(decimal point is in the right place!!!)

hey ward, i did the aldi thing today, got a cpl of head sets, a helmet (spare), a disc lock, textile pants and a bike stand, its not bad gear for the price.
RE: Cheap !!! - Ward P - 11-08-2012
Yeah, there wasn't much left by 11am . . .
Cathy got a spare pair of gloves, I grabbed a balaclava and thermals this time. Scary how cheap the stuff is, but had to go to 2 stores before we found enough stuff left. Got the LAST small helmet, and had someone with kids looking within a minute later, obviously had the same idea.

I missed out on a headset so I'd be interested if it's still available? Do they look any good? I'm stuck on a ship at sea, but I sent my wife along and everything was gone by 10!

Not normaly a fan of Aldi gear, but .........
Called in on Saturday and grabed an Aluminium Ramp,
a Paddock Stand and a Transport Stand.
Quality isnt as bad as I expected.
Put the Busa up on the 2 stands and its very solid.
Certainly bottom end of the market but if your on a budget
or just want them as spares / back up's they're not bad.
The paddock stand came with wide and narrow main sections
and 3 different types of pick-up's.
The Transport stand seems OK and came with extra bolts to
fit it to a ute or trailer. (works fine on garage floor though)
Ramps only rated at 200kg but I jumped up and down on it
and it seemed pretty solid.
Not brilliant, but OK.

rob, im thinking of taking them back,
had a quick look on ebay and came across
these
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-BT-Motor-Motorcycle-helmet-intercom-bluetooth-interphone-FM-radio-100M-/330621427929?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cfa92a0d9#ht_5638wt_1037
much cheaper tho the range isnt the same 100m compared to 500m
but and has a radio.
