I've put this in Bikes - Talk and Issues coz its related to biking :P

Current offers seem astounding to me. The Ride Motrax Vischas Disk lock was good enough I thought, until I opened my T.W.O. yesterday :shock:

Their current Direct Debit offer, at £22.20 every six issues is a Shark S500 helmet. All sizes available, but the design you get is any one of four.

Is this best offer yet?

TWO (http://www.two.tv)

Subscription hotline is 08456 777807. There is a "offer code" that you might need to quote - it appears on the form in the mag - M085P

I've just rung 'em, cancelled my exisiting subscription and taken out a new one........helmet will be with me within 28 days.

I think that's cooler than a penguin's pecker :D

sounds very good indeed.

do you know what the sizing is like compared with arai?

what colours are available?

can you cancel the sub after 6mths?

thanks

I thought so. £100 helmet (one that I've even tried on in the shops and liked) for free (I subscribe anyway).

do you know what the sizing is like compared with arai?

Dunno. I think they are part of the same company, though.

what colours are available?

It's pot-luck what colour you get. There are four - silver/red, silver/blue, black/yellow and black/red-multi. I like the silver ones best, but the black/yellow is nice, too. The black/red is a bit too garish for my tastes. Guess which one I'll get :roll:

can you cancel the sub after 6mths?

The small print says that if you cancel within 12 months there will be a £30 admin fee.

TWO is a good mag - not one full of topless ladies and the like - but good reviews and editorials. Niall macKenzie has a slot in it as well. Not sure I want a Shark lid for myself but might get one for pillion. Luckily I cancelled my subscription last month!

Jabba

I like it, and would buy it anyway. It's a bit more "real world" than Bike, which is IMHO directed to the "balls out" end of the riding spectrum. It's completely different to Ride, the subscription for which I allowed to lapse.

Niall MacKenzie's long-termer is a Honda Hornet, so it's not all sports-bikes and that's a good thing. They always say nice things about the SV, too, so you'll get that nice, warm, cuddley feeling every so often :lol:

Buy a copy of this months for £3.70 and see if you like it. And you'll have a clear conscience is you take up the offer....... "Yes, I have the advert in front of me!". Sure there's no money saving, but you get the convenience of door-step delivery and a free brand name/model helmet.

Looks like a good deal to me. Have bought the two mag a couple of time myself and found it good and thank god it has'nt so many half nekit girlies :twisted:

It's a great mag. Though I took out my subscription in November and I'm still waiting for my free winter gloves! Perhaps they're gloves for winter 2005, not 2004... :(

mmh.. something to think about as I was just about to get a subscription to RiDE.. not sure though as I don't knwo if TWO does the same sort of reviews as RiDE......

TWO do reviews of new and used kit, but they don't do the in-depth product testing in the labs that Ride do. Ride are unique in this in the UK.

I think that TWO's bike reviews are better, as there are more of them and most of them are in much greater depth than Ride do.

Very different mags, and they complement each other very well.

Woohoo! Cheers Jabba have just ordered mine. Let's hope they don't run out as a result of the free internet publicity :lol:

I've got one too :) thought they would have run out by now. Was toying with the idea of getting an XS for my son but his mum would freak :shock:

Anyway I ordered a medium and I want the blue - but would be happy with either red - don't want the yellow, in short.

We'll have to wait till they all arrive to arrange swapsies. Then sit back and watch the ensuing chaos...

Is it just me that has got an extra small head??? Good, good, more chance of getting the colour that I'm after :lol:

I know it says that they cannot guarantee what colour you want, but the guy that I spoke too asked what colour I wanted :?

What great excuse for a get-together..............communal exchange of helmets (oo-er, missus :wink: ).
