    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..

    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.

    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.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

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

    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?

    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!

    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
