Hi Chaps and Chapessess

We just booked our hoildays in the US and happily we fly on my birthday.

What is worth buying state side (preferably bike related) that:

a) Wont Pi%% of the Yanks trying to get on the aircraft to come home
&
b) Pi%% of UK Customs & Excise when we land

Cheers

I Hear Denim is very cheap over there, Bike bits I wouldnt bother with as it takes a lot to get through customs

Get some BlueAnt bike to pillion/bike coms. They're bloody good and cheap stateside!

PS I'll have 1!!!

I wouldnt buy a lid out there, I,d comsidered it until it was ponited out that even though all lids are built to the same spec if you have an off with a non eu approved helmet it could invalidate your insurance. Where you going btw ?

We'll be looking for hotels in NY so if anybody knows of any that would receive wife approval at a reasonable cost that would be appreciated
