stelmer Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 It's that time again. Lidl will have their popular bike gear back from the 16th. Should appear on the website shortly. Everything does go extremely quick so do get there early.(Copied from another forum)- Motorcycle jacket £58.71- " trousers £48.92- Flip Front Helmet £39.99- Jet helmet (open face) £22.99- Motorcycle Gloves £12.71- Kidney Belt £3.90- Rain Suit £12.71- High-vis belt £5.99- Motorcycle boots £29.99- Rain overshoes £7.99- Thermals:- Long sleeved top £12.71- Long johns £8.79- Motorcycle socks £2.92- Bike-to-bike radio £24.45 (per set - one set per rider)- Rider-pillion headsets £7.82- Battery charger £4.88- Magnetic tank bag £18.58- First aid kit £2.92- Motorcycle cover £6.99- Disc lock with alarm £9.77That's everything. Also worth knowing, at the moment they have waterproof spray for leather and textiles for £1.99.I have the rain suit and it's fantastic. Never let a drop in and it's somewhat comfortable.It's like a pair of chest high trousers with a jacket on the outside merged into one. No water can get in the zip and dampen the crotch at all.The battery charger is useful but only charges at 600mA/h. First aid kit is handy.

bigsisterbiker Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 the socks are really good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If this stuff's so good, makes you wonder why most places charge so much more for it.not sure i'd want a helmet from there though, just, on principle I suppose. I know it's snobby but it's my head we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsisterbiker Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 that's me and thee snobby then wouldn't trust my safety to any of their stuff, but the non-protective items are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 They are all safety rated and comply with the relevant legislation and therefore are just as safe as any other similar rated helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 All their gear is TUV approved. That alone is good enough for me, but I'm not the sort to buy a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thats it you think Arai and such like started off as the top marques in helmets ....i bet if everyone started buying the lidl helmet they would soon be bringing out new models and raising the prices ... for me Arai are bloody uncomfortable Think best helmet i ever owned was an old agv 125 and that survived being run over ( well it didnt get used again but it did its job ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Best I ever had was a Bell (firm fit, excellent vision and quiet but heavy as hell), secondhand off a mate who had had it secondhand. don't know how it would have stood up in an accident, but hey I didn't have one.

Guest Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My dad bought me a chain for my bike from lidle, It got stolen as I left it on my bike wraped round the sissy bar (unlocked) but it was heeeeavvvy duty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixerman Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Might just take a gander at the lids given that mine is bramble damaged and Im unsure now whether to continue using it or not. Not enough spare cash to buy a "branded" one with my current commitments and if its approved it'll do to keep me on the road at £40.Bit off topic butCan you get thermoplastic lids repaired?

johno Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My brother bought the jacket and pants a couple of years back and he swears by them still going strong and still waterproof. My only complaint is the sizes as with a lot of bike gear they dont do an extra fat size so i guess i'll have to start that diet after all !

Jixerman Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 And your making an offer like this to a man who drives a SKODA Before I laugh, I would like to know the reason? Its all part of my master plan I bugged the wife so much about getting back on a bike that eventually she gave in saying Im a fully grown adult and she cannot tell me what I can or cant do Now I am working on convincing her that I can save enough money each month to run a second bike without increasing my outgoings So I got rid of the Landrover in favour of the skoda. Its newer, she loves it, halved the road funds, 580 miles per tank as apposed to 350 and insurance group 6 instead of 14 Give it a couple o' three months and Ill likely be looking for a GSXR Thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyKnuckle Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm gonna pick up the tank bag me thinks. Maybe a couple of other pieces, it's not like they're expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
