Check the kg rating on the ramps as they are not rated high enough for the weight of a busa ................... fat bitch it is

The ramp is weighted at 200kg. I initially disregarded it, but on further thought, as one wheel is going on the other is just about off the other end. So at no point is 200kg on the middle of the ramp at any time - I suppose unless you ride the bike on. It is a lightweight, but will hopefully last for the occasional times I intend to use it.

I was in the Erskine Park store five minutes after opening last Thursday morning and all they had were about four Jackets medium or smaller, four small helmets, a heap of useless bike locks and a pile of those GPS holders.

Not one paddock stand or ramp, the only things I was interested in.

I bought a couple of pairs of those socks last time they had them. Very thin and when stretched, they allowed my skin to rub and blister badly in a couple of sessions at a track day. Threw them in the bin. I'll stick with Holeproof Explorers.

Does anyone know if their socks are any good??? Been lookin' for a good quality pair to wear under my riding boots....

Got one pair for the bike boots and they do the job,good value for the money too.

Got the pants and top to wear under the leathers,very comfy too,used them 6 hours Sat and 4 hours Sunday

Might try and get some "Skins" to compare!!!

Not sure if I can get "Skins" for $50.00

Try the "SNAP-ON" socks $9.95 plus tax..... they are very good every day socks, and they are great for the bike too.

I bought a midlayer vest and a merino vest, both excellent. Often around zero degrees when I go to work at 4.30am and have been freezing me norks off. All good this week though :) Incidentally, any tips on stopping your helmet and glasses misting up on freezing cold mornings ?

Don't wear glasses, and keep your visor up.

Try Plexus on the inside of your visor (works on mine) and try cleaning the inside of your glasses with vinegar & water.

Hey guys,

Anyone in the vicinity of an Aldi supermarket. Noticed today they have some pretty good looking bike gear as their weekly special starting thursday 11th Aug. Jackets, Pants, Helmet, Paddock Stand, Ramp, Wet Weather Gear, Gloves, Motorcycle Cover etc..
Not sure on the quality, but Aldi usually is pretty good for the price.
For the record .. I don't work there, so I'm not pushing it .. just thought I'd let ya's all know ..

Cheers .. Dale

wish we had one up my way

Cheers .. Dale

often aldi puts out the thursday stuff late on a wednesday evening before they shut.... but also some stores get preferrential distribution of the items based on previous sales. Bike stuff last for a while out our aldi but man if they put out the golf shoes or gardening stuff and the old men and women are worse than a bunch of crazy fashion chicks at a D&G 50% off sale!!! hahahah

They had the 32" TV thismorning. My mrs got there at opening and she reckoned it was like a bunch of seagulls on a bag of hot chips.

Managed to score 2 stands (one for a mate) the Sunday after from the Hurstville store after trying 2 others..
Let's just say you get what you pay for with those but will do the trick.

Were a bunch of helmets left over.. Wonder why..
