Bargain Crazy Thread

That would be great if you could.

I've currently got the dark smoke one fitted to mine which to be honest is probably a touch too dark unless it's a full on sunny day.

I have a Bell Qualifier. The transition visor came free with it, all for the princely sum of £180. The visor is the best thing about the helmet to be fair. It gets darker quicker than my specs with very good protection from the sun

Bought a Shark Spartan carbon from M&P's yesterday. £279.99 Not sure if they are still this price, all the shoei were discounted too

Just taken a non scientific video outside which does actually demonstrate quite well how quickly it darkens in direct sun. If I can figure out how to work youtube I will upload it there and post a link here.

I would say it goes from totally clear to a dark smoke in approx 15 to twenty seconds.

Perfect. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

One of those is now on the shopping list for payday.

How dark does the visor get?

I've got exactly the same lid and quite fancy not having to pre plan my visor choice but if it's as crap as the pinlock transitions insert I tried in the past I won't bother as it only just about reached a very light tint even in glaring sun.

I've a photocromatic visor.

It's mint. Only time i want a bit more is on a dark winters night down a country lane when it's pissing it down.

It's more than dark enough in european summer. Get it.

I wish I'd bought a Shoei now: that looks awesome! Sadly Arai don't seem to sell one

Just managed to get a pair of Course sports gloves on XLMoto for the lofty sum of......... £1.44

50% promotion on today plus my £30 voucher courtesy of the previously posted backpack deal.

Happy days!

A big dealer is closing down near me and everything is being marked down more and more. They’ve not got huge amounts left, but there are some mega deals. The Rocket Centre in Blackburn, if anyone’s interested.

I just picked up these two sets of leathers for a combined £650, retail is £1100 and £650 respectively, although you can get them a few quid cheaper via t’internet. There are lots more two pieces than one piece suits there.

I'm not surprised they are closing to be honest, I have been in loads over the last few years (admittedly not much in the last 2 years since changing jobs but was there a few months back) and there wasn't a single bike for sale I was interested in apart from a KTM1290 which I can't afford, they always seemed to be short of decent mid priced stock, a shame to see a dealer close but its a big unit, I guess its the end for the sandwich cabin on site too

Motodex performance are doing the hm plus for £300 popped up on the track Facebook pages.
I can't help but feel it might be dodgy but I paid with mastercard through PayPal.

100 quid saving.

I promised I wouldn't use hm again only translogic but the price made my arse water.

[moanthebairns]

85 quid. I paid 135 and I thought I got a bargain that's a steal.

Looks ok, why didn't you go for the Healtech at £239?

[moanthebairns]

I ran that before. It was a bit meh. Then after mines decided to give up I found out hm say it's not for race or track use just road riding due to the heat.
