First ever bike related purchases completed today. Fed up of borrowing the bike school's gear and had some money saved up.

Picked up a HJC helmet, an Oxford textile jacket and some Richa gloves. Hope to sort out boots once I've booked MOD2

You have the cutest bed spread.

 

[TallPaul_S]

Goes well with the stuffed teddybear thing

I'm suddenly regretting going for 'next year' in the sweepstake!

Your prediction is safe, don't worry.

Raining here today so no biking today, gives me a chance to fit my new items.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

that's my daughter's bedroom. I'm stashing the gear away safely until next weekend.

 

[Captain]

Admit it, you're hiding it from the wife aren't you

Yes

 

[MowyTone]

Yes

Just wait until you get a bike and start ordering parts!

 

[Lakeland]

Just wait until you get a bike and start ordering parts [and get them delivered to your place of work so you can claim you got a deal off a 'mate']!

Corrected

I was going to get some new tyres today until I went and checked my bike and realised I already had metzeler roadtec tyres on

 

[Captain]

New rizoma levers arrived today, will get a picture up later on, should be straight forward to fit? Never done them before.

 

[Kreeeee]

Levers are very easy to install.

 

[Craig321]

Yup, very easy, just make sure you loosen the clutch cable fully by tightening the adjuster all the way in

 

[Tefal]

Do many people on here buy a bike for a year/summer then sell it on?

curious how much you tend to lose over the year/what the cost works outas

 

[Captain]

Got the rizoma levers, they are immaculate.

One thing that I've noticed though is that they don't look like they adjust much at all? Maybe they'll be different once fitted?

 

[Minibiker]

Rizoma make some quality products.. These levers look great

The small adjustment wi be greatly enhanced by the lever action itself. Think of a see saw with a massive length on one end and a small length at the other.
