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.
It doesn't matter.

You can book and buy the tyres after... you just need to be on the tyres for the track day and have the receipt.

Simple.
Sound, wish id got the oulton one, drats.

I am interested, purely because lots of people keep buying it so it makes me fell like i am missing out.

What advantages does this have to my 15 year old quicksilver bag from school.

the hard shell should in theory help protect contents in the vent of a slide and should help prevent objects in the bag from sticking into your back. I dont see it being as good as my Axio as it looks like the "front" on the backpack where it sits on your back isn't a hard panel but for £9.99
I see people wearing those hardshell bags on the motorway and just think they would be horrific in a crash- bending your neck over to top of the rucksack
Give it a rest, FGS!
FFS maybe you should not leave the house in case a poorly golden eagle falls out of the sky onto your head......
What does FGS mean?
that he has fat fingers

Anyone got one of these or dealt with the company?

9.99 is a bit of a steal if it's ok, my axio hardpack has been stolen by my fiancé!
That's an excellent deal even if it only lasts a year or so.

It looks like a copy of the OGIO pack that I have. The top OGIO has a carbon look outer and is expandable, has interior shoe pockets, nice red lining, etc. However, the bottom-rung model is near identical to this one and is probably made in the same factory.

For those who mentioned it, on the OGIO, the part which sits against your back is flexible and padded, not hard like the outer shell.
Do you work for Xlmoto or an organised religion. If not, perhaps you should, I was nearly convinced on buying one there on that post alone....

Demon Tweeks are selling off old stock brake pads on eBay at the moment ... worth a look if need some. I’ve given them a punt for £6 the set ... biggrin
I just ordered some earlier today and noticed by amazement they were the cheapest for my Daytona.

I however splurged £37 for ebc because I've used my face as a brake a few times before and I don't like the smell of hospitals.
