tried the vest from lidl

FOR ME
its too tight on the underarms and the elbowpads were annoying on the elbows
for the rest it seemed like a really good summervest, plenty of ventilation options, handy pockets, snug fit, lower back end.
I'm an insomniac agnostic dyslexic. I lay awake at night and wonder if there really is a dog.

Went to Aldi yesterday and bought bike cover for 8.99 GBP - surprisingly heavy duty - and a pair of gloves for 12.99. Sort of mid season leather with a membrane, should be useful for "summer" touring in Scotland. I have paid more for crappier gloves! They had a few kidney belts but the ones that were left had no kidneys on them at all, they must have come loose in transit or something.

Went to investigate Lidl today and it was chock-full of waders, fishing rods, spinnery things and waders, was tempted by a folding camp chair at 2.99 but had no bungees to tie it on with, so it'll have to wait. No sign of bike gear, Lidl chappy in smart v neck says it starts tomorrow. Do they roll it out different days in different stores? And isn't it a lot less fuss to buy fish from Lidl rather than a fishing rod?

Hi everyone.

Newbie to this forum...

I bought the tank bag at Aldi and I'm wonderign how you are all fixing them to the tank? Are you relying just on the magnets, or have you worked out a way to strap it down too?

Cheers,

Andy

Used a magnetic tankbag before I bought hard cases for the TDM, the magnets worked just fine for me good.gif

Yup, I'm using the magnets at the moment, I might consider putting the strap 'round the headstock somehow to stop it slippin' if I use it on a longer trip. good.gif

I use a Cargo Adventure magnetic bag. I always used the addtional strap, and then found if it were slightly slack, thatht e buckle would vibrate inthe wind, I I've ended up with a chip in the laquer coat on the tank sad.gif

So I've cut it off. Magnets only (mounting on top of the antislip mat stuff) and no problems

I have the Oxford Tank'n'Tailer which Infinity motorcycles currently have on offer....

http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product...N'%20Tailer

It's not huge but I find it perfect for carrying my all-in-one waterproof and me sandwiches..... I prefer it as a Tailpack as I don't really like tank bags but when on longer journies or when I don't know where I'm going, it has a clear map pocket on top so I convert it into a tank bag (there's then room on the back for an overnight bag or whatever) and away I go. I'd recommend it. good.gif
It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
