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

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.
