just because its not cheap ste doesnt mean it isnt a bargain. i got £50 off a pair of held gloves from Tim, still expensive but worth every penny. Someone who crashes as much as you should appreciate that
I don't buy cheap st anymore I'll have you know... It was a rushed attempt at humour. I put a smiley face in.

Bought the calipers earlier they will come in handy at work rather than the old school ones I have.

I also bought the infrared temp gun, I have no idea wtf I am going to use this for but for 97p I think I can afford it. I cant wait to show up at my next track day and get a track temp or how cold my ice box is. Actually it will be good for BBQ's. Christ better get some spare batteries.

Track temperature maybe.

I used to love using a thermal image camera you felt like predator looking at people walking past.

Now I'm going to feel like an sas sniper.

Received my calipers and heat gun today. Reasonable quality, all working, all good. I can confirm that the dog gets 0.1 degree hotter after I've made him run for a few balls biggrin

nice people at Amazon said:
I am afraid to inform you that the seller is now no longer with us.
The seller died? And you're worried about a measly two quid?

God, there are some heartless people around.








I don't care HOW many Tangfastics that would buy.
I assume this was a joke, as it could simply mean he isn't on amazon anymore.

The seller isn't dead, its a scam.

Sell something dirt cheap from china, pump out a few items, express delivery to hide suspicion initially, wait for funds to clear, get funds out. Complaints start, announce death of a someone who never existed in the first place.

Just bought a redicupusly big cheapish torque wrench (mechainc noob boxedin) but I really should have added a few extra quid for one of these sets.

Find a mate with a trade card. Dirt cheap then.
I've applied for a trade card, I thought it was just the automotive industry but it includes loads, engineering, construction, taxi drivers. Worth a stab at it.

If it's like my sj4000 it'll be st. Barely work. A bding to get the battery out and never records when you crash.

That said it's a good picture for the st sessions it end up recording that you don't want to watch.

Click the above link for sportsbike shop. Enter your email and get £10 off anything in store.

I got myself an oil filter and some scratch remover for £4 (should have been obviously £14)

Hardly worth it for a helmet etc but handy for maybe lubes, etc. You could easily get something free.

check junk mail for the code.

Yeh, I am confused I can add the trackday to my basket. Where do I add the tyres to my basket or do I just need them on my bike when I turn up.
Yes, you need them on the bike when you turn up at the TD along with the receipt from a participating dealer.
No dealer can tell me if i need to buy them now to book it or if i can book the trackday then buy tyres just before the event have them fitted.

Seems daft to buy tyres now when i wont use them for 4 months and id go through a few sets anyway.

Anyone got experience on the slick or the cup. They will be fine just wondering what to get.
