Do they ever actually sell anything for full price

I believe to obey laws there is a small office in and industrial estate with no signs, staffed by a very bored man,where you can purchase all items at full price.

That man is probably on Pistonheads somewhere.

Do DFS have a sale on?

Unusually they do, it’s their winter sale.

Cheap ACF50

https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/...



Usually £35, on offer at £26.80

Thanks!

Is the pump spray ACF50 any good? I have used the aerosol but it's a bit of a jet rather than a mist spray and tends to coat areas quite thickly. Just wondering if this would be better.

No it's not.

I actually splashed £20 on one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B80BIHE/ref... this year.

Clean the bike, cover the wheels/brakes and in 5 minutes you've got the whole thing covered in a nice fine mist which is exactly what you want but will never get from spray bottles.

£10 for a waterproof backpack.

XLmoto Slipstream Backback

Not bad value!

Also, they've got deals on everyday until Christmas Eve, so might be worth keeping an eye out.

Got a brand new one sat here you can have for free if you pay for postage.

Sure this came up before and the consensus was that it wasn't great, however for £10 it may be worth a gamble.

That's a great tip, thanks!

lol. Same here. Got it. Tried it on. Didn't like it. Not worth returning. They did give us all some nice vouchers a while back though as an apology

Thanks for the offer, although judging by the other reviews below, I'll save the postage

[Rsdop]

Popped up on Facebook. No idea if they’re any good but good price including theory and cbt!

Anyone spotted and particularly bargainous bargains in the sales? I'm looking to do my DAS in the near future so I need to get fully kitted up. Have already bought some old boots...

Sportsbikeshop are doing HJC FG-ST lids at £129 instead of £199, with free pinlock insert, I've just bought one to match my bike.

[MajorMantra]

Ooh, that's quite tempting! I had been looking at this Shark also but I reckon the HJC may be a better deal. (Although I'm not *totally* sold on the aesthetics of the HJC.)

Obviously I won't know for sure until I try one on...
