Every blinking time I go near a bike shop, I come out with something I'd put a lot lower on the options list than the wallet might desire
Great example - the ex was off to New York for a few days, so clever old me thought I'd save a couple of quid, and get myself some nice Joe Rocket gloves with a nice dollar/pound rate.
Not being completely eejit-shaped, I went into Infinity in Chelsea to try them on, got chatting to the nice manager about why I was playing with his nice £140 gloves with no intention of buying them, when he matched the dollar price, plus a fiver. Result for me, but again, walked out with more things than I needed. Not managed an Arai yet though hehe

Nice lid, presume its been noise tested already?

A couple of times I walked in just for a look and then left having bought a new bike...... I must have a neon sign above my head for the salesmen!

I'm the same with the clothes though, I always seem to walk out with far more than I needed. I must have been a magpie in a former life.

Went in for a cheap lid, spent £180 (yes I know, that IS cheap to some of you )

Went in for some trousers, spent £994.

Last time I went in I wanted some summer gloves. Tried on almost every pair in the shop (at ten to 5 on a Saturday!). Bought some. A week later I found the receipt and discovered I'd spent £55. Never even noticed the price when I was in there, I was having so much fun winding up the staff They were probably £20 gloves though... banghead

You do not get better than ARAI and you cannot put a value on your brains.
Well most people cant.
