Its a deal, its a steal, its the sale of the f'ing century

Got me a track day tomorrow, and wanted a back protector as last time I used my dads one, but seeing as he's out with me on track tomorrow I can't use his so asked him to ask any of his friend if they could lend me one for the day.....


I get a call at the weekend whilst he's showing his classic bike at a show.....

"I got you a back protector as I found one for sale, I fully expect a full refund though, and it was a little pricey but its well worth it. It cost me £3!!!!!!!!!!!!"


ACE £3 blooming pounds... Can't be sniffed at that. Sure its no "designer brand" but its better than nothing and the price is superb. Its "2nd hand" but really the one i've got (image just shows it above) is brand spanking new, not a single mark on it.

Seeing as its sunny today, and guaranteed to p1ss it down tomorrow, I feel a little more at ease



What is it with me and Shotguns though? Trying to do a search on B-Square mostly brings up Shotgun websites....

Guess what Benelli is also a company name for... Yup, shotguns.....

B-Square is also the brand of my tankbag mate, it was a Lidl bargain so i'd imagine thats where this came from too.
HTH.

Really nice shotguns though! Their semi-autos have some inertia action rather than gas and they shoot really nice

Jeeze, £3, it's massive!

Bargain that is mate.

I had one like that. I wore it before I got proper textiles with them built in. Proper ninja turtle stylee. Never fell off wearing it so can't say how good it is.

More "peace of mind" than anything else. I just can't believe the price.

I do believe its a Lidel item too, so it might not have the best shock protection, but its better than nowt i guess.

I just find it amusing the only items i've searched google on today are shotgun makes, but also relative to biking bits for me

They were only £15 when new iirc.

Oh were they???

Ahhh well, not so much of a deal then

I guess i've been reading too many £100-£200 "branded" back protector adverts then ha ha.

I dunno mate, a lot of their stuff is european brands and they have some higher quality standards than we do here for certain things, so go and crash with confidence.


No wait better yet, never crash and never find out how good or bad it is. Yeh i like that idea better tbh.

they have a _really_ shiny downloadable catalogue.
Related to biking, erm, well you could put a holster on the bike to carry one I suppose.
