What's the best biking bargain you've ever had? - fazernigel - 09-11-12
Hi Everone
With the NEC show coming up i wonder what is the best bargain you've ever had at the show or anywhere to do with bikes?
Five years ago i bought a waterproof textile jacket from the Truimph stand at the NEC for £25 which has served me summer and winter since and is still waterproof and looking like new. Absolute bargain and top quality.
Has anybody else picked up a Biking bargain?

Blue & white BKS Silverstone 1 piece leather suit, £200 last year. Was happy with that & my AGV Stealth SV for £110.00. Both from bike show.

On christmas day about ten years ago I bought a little Honda VRX 400 - this one:

I paid £1000 for it with 6000 miles, kept it for 18 months and 24000 miles and sold it for £1100. Free biking for 18 months - my best bargain by miles

Carbon Can Co. stainless oval can with removable baffle for Gen 1 Thou. 6 months old, not a mark on it. £16.55 off Ebollocks.
£10 p + p but it was only 10 miles up the road so picked it up. Still going strong 6 years later

got a pair of akito gloves for 15 quid from a local bike shop. i wore them nearly everyday for 3 years until the fingers wore out. they were warm and they'd hold out the rain for a good hour before soaking through. they were great.

My ex was given a Suzuki GN125 that had been stood for a few years & had done 13K miles. I did a few bits to it, came up like new, she couldn't get used to having a bike with gears/clutch so I sold it on ebay for nearly 800 quid!

£5 for an unused Akito jacket :thumbup
My 125 was £200 for a 10 plater... was a bargain til it blew up 600 miles later :wall Although on the plus side I sold it for £100, it saved me £100+ for a train ticket for the week and I got a week of practice for my mod 2 so it worked out quite well.

Hi Guys, I've picked up a few real 'goodies' over the years .. but thinking about it now I recon my best ever bit of Bike related kit was a £4.99 Pin Drill from a modelling shop.
This tiny tool went on the bring so much pleasure to so many people .. it's all quite amazing! :eek
You see .. my Gen 1 was the very first bike that Mike GTX (Falcon 269) Ivanised .. after he had done his own.
I got the little pin drill jobby in preparation .. it's the jobby that he drills out those small holes with .. after the job was done I gave Mike the tool (and a bacon butty as we do)
It's the very same tool that he still uses today .. several years and many hundreds of very happy bikers with big 'Grin Factor' faces later.
Bloody good value for money is that .. I recon
Stay Safe Now Y'all
