Wanted some new winter gloves and I talked myself out of getting some Gerbing heated gloves so was looking at some around the £75 mark.
Then Sunday night I was browsing Sports bike Shop and noticed Some Gerbing XRS-12 had been reduced down to £101.99 instead of £149.99 which is mental given its peak time for them.
Sure enough I got a call the next day saying it was a pricing error but they'd honour it!
Arrived today and seem amazing even as a standard glove, will try and get it wired up this weekend.

Not brand new but on a 65 plate with 1500 miles.
How much £? Last time I looked they held their value pretty well...

That's the pair I've got they're great just don't turn them up too high to start with, it's very easy to burn yourself!
Just opened my returned jacket. It's been repaired, not brilliantly to be honest you can tell it's not original stitching unlike when I had my leather bottoms completely altered and you couldn't tell it wasn't a factory finish. Let's hope it lasts this time even if it is a bit untidy.
Does anyone actually enjoy going out on a bike in this weather?
Edit: Just saw this on FB - http://www.suzukicycles.org/SV-series/SV400-SV400S.shtml Never knew they made 400 version of the SV.

Not bad, got any pics of the bike?
These are the advert pictures, i'll get some better ones tomorrow.
The bike came with brand new Michellin pilot road 3 tyres, screen, it has a stock exhaust which is very quiet but i won't be buying one until i'm certain i'm keeping it. It's also Lava red.
The seat is the comfiest i have ever sat on, it's like a soft cushion, after 100 miles i was aching but my arse wasn't numb.
Looks nice, I'm not too keen on the red. The screen looks good, I would leave it personally. But it needs a tail tidy and an exhaust which will change the grin factor for sure.
Some of them were my mates (GSXR 750 and R6 chain snap) videos.
I was just curious, as you post quite a few Polish vids

Think it depends on why you ride. I ride pretty much solely to commute and I work in a heavily congested city so driving a car is a nightmare so riding in a bit of rain is still fun when I filter past 700 cars on my ride home
If I rode on weekends, probably not.

I remember last year sometime I was fully in my waterproofs, the temperature wasn't too cold but it was tipping it down. I was warm and dry in my kit riding through the rain and actually enjoying myself safe in the knowledge I was completely dry and 'away' from the elements!
Haven't enjoyed a cold morning yet though
Looks nice, I like the red, wish more bikes where baught in fun colours. 100miles and aching, well depends how many hours on the bike really
It was 100 miles in one go, I couldn't be bothered to stop as I was tired, just wanted to get back as I've been awake since 5am, it was a fun ride though, even though the mt07 has 75bhp and 50ft-lb of torque, it feels just as fast as my street triple and the Nuda, the torque is brilliant, pulls in every gear and it's super smooth.
It's what sold me on it, simple yet still looks good, I wanted a black and white one but I wanted a 2016 bike with low miles.
Do you still have the Street & Nuda?It was 100 miles in one go, I couldn't be bothered to stop as I was tired, just wanted to get back as I've been awake since 5am, it was a fun ride though, even though the mt07 has 75bhp and 50ft-lb of torque, it feels just as fast as my street triple and the Nuda, the torque is brilliant, pulls in every gear and it's super smooth.
He sold both as far, as I remember.
