Bought digital tyre pressure gauge the other day from Tesco's for £3 :D

Yesterday I bought a Dianesse Wave 13 back protector. Been needing one for a while after reading posts on here. Expensive but fitted the best out of everything I tried and protected the largest area, neck down to coxics/tailbone. Superlight and comfortable I dont even realise its there. Cant imagine why/how i ever rode without one before.

Powerbronze carbon fibre effect hugger, got some braided lines through the letterbox on Saturday and about to order some leather knee sliders as I'm almost through my plastic ones. Looking for sticky tyres too.
