    Yeah thanks Marina,

    I also bought the Tank bag, gloves for summer, kidney/back support and the
    pump.

    Tank bag seems quite nice, do people actually use the headstock strap...
    just wondered if the magnets were good enough by themselves?

    Anyway, nice tip Marina, thanks again,

    Tommy

    Tried the gloves on, grey, black & blue had horrible seems in the fingers.
    Red ones were comfy but horrible to look at. Seemed a bit flimsy too.
    Stops it falling on the floor when you lift it to fuel up. Also more hassle
    for a thief.

    Dead right about the gloves, wish I hadn't bought them now... but they were
    cheap so I had to :)

    tank bag, i'll have it)

  10. Are the raincovers the pvc types that take your paint off
    like the Argos cheapies?

    There weren't any at the Hinckley Lidl yesterday
    but I got a nice surge-protected master/slave 4-way
    mains extension block instead.

    I don't have a problem with it at all, but when I saw the £12 I did think
    "cheeky bastard".

    How well made are they? It looks pretty good for occasional use.

    I won't be getting one as the fuel caps on all my bikes sit proud of the
    tank. I suspect that would make the bag fairly useless.
