Would that be their annual "prices lowered to no more than 15% above anybody else's" sale? :p

Looks like a few genuinely good deals judging from their mailer: Arlen Ness jackets with all the fruit $199 (they claim normal retail $499) and full face CMS helmets $99...

Might be worth checking out I suppose

Cheers Kerry

If you're not after what everyone wants,some bargins can be had,even at Motomail - stand back from the bun fight and see what's being missed.

Got one of the Acerbis enduro jackets on saturday for the sale price (sshhhh)

[jrandom]

Yuss. Let's see now. I have their sale leaflet here on the desk in the gargre beside the PC.

That Arlen Ness jacket for $200 looks like a decent deal.

In all fairness to Motomail, they have a good retail operation that stocks most of everything. I think their prices are just a reflection of the fact that they'll never get huge turnover, and are trying to keep the 'quality' brands on the shelves.

[Edit: acksherly, looking again, that armoured waterproof one-piece for $99... I'm tempted.]

I quite liked the look of the cheap bike covers.. Ideal to cover cheap bikes I reckon...

I just got the catalogue yesterday too.

Had a good look at the Arlen Ness jacket. Unless I'm mistaken, its exactly the same jacket as I just bought from WMCC, which was relabelled with their house brand, Moto-Tech.

A pretty damn good jacket, actually.

Or you could do what I just did. Went to the warehouse, bought a waterproof tarpaulin for $7, folded it in half, fixed two ends together to create a kind of pocket, slide it over the bike. et voila!

I don't quite need waterproof but I need the breathable one. I just use a couple of old sheets to keep the dust and crap off...

You want to be a wee bit careful with plastic sheets as they sweat underneath and can cause problems long term. I don't ride my bikes everyday and have a nasty cleaning fetish..

And yellow!? :laugh:
Don't really want yellow boots, plain black is what i am after

[Menial]

I really can't see eye to eye with motomail. Once got a decent chain from there on sale. They were completely unwilling to negotiate on prices when it came to a gloves and jacket package. They can fall down and die as far as I'm concerned.

Don't be so tight, spend the extra $s and get one big enough to cover the rider as well at the next bike rally. :mellow:

I know it's fashionable to kick Motomail, but I actually got a really good deal on some Junior MX gear for my nephew last Christmas, and they pulled finger and got it delivered before Christmas, even though I ordered on the 23rd of Dec.

Heh. Point.
Although the tarpaulin is a loose fit because it isnt shaped. Plenty of air gets around.

[merv]

I don't buy much from them but when I have it is because I am happy that the price and or availabilty of what I want at the time is right. So no complaints.

However, maybe they aren't shifting enough stock but as one example last time I spoke to them they weren't being supplied with Ventura pack racks any more but I note in their sale flyer they were quoting Ventura headlight guards - selling off remaining stock then I presume or are they an agent for Ventura again?

[sAsLEX]

went in there today, anyone else see the accident on the NW???,
those jackets Arlen Ness 200$$$ are pretty good and would recomend to new riders looking for their first protective gear. just got to watch out for their new alarm, a noisey little bull dog!!

Oh and they have a few boxes of the jackets so there should be a few to go around! And the camel back imitations look pretty good to, as does the shoei X-spirit that fitted perfectly!

[Motoracer]

I thought the sale was starting on the 23rd... Did I miss something?

Give them a damn good dubbining and they stay waterproof.

My dome tent was leaking thru the bottom... so the obvoius solution??? Hack it to pieces and sew up a beyoodiful new cover for the beemer, complete with gussets for round the "fairing" and velcro to tie it round the back, with all the hangy-offy bits that tents have, strategically placed to tie onto crashbars and footpegs if it gets really windy/I want it to stay in a more permanent fashion

[Motu]

Camoflage I presume? Those Hydapaks look a real bargin alright,pity I paid three times the price for my Camelback - one of my favorite pieces of kit....I don't stop at cafes.
