    Doesn’t have to be bike related but what do you think has been your best purchase this year?
    Mine has been a Steam cleaner ... Kercher C3.
    Cleans the bathroom a treat and no chemicals ! Which certainly helps with my breathing.
    Floor in the kitchen has never been as clean as well. Unlike a mop and bucket the cloths you put on the tool pick up the dirt rather than just swirl it around.

    I sort of think they are staying, although probably not for the reasons you might think.
    If I take them off ,then, do I sell them,? This is my first thought.Then I can spend the money on a Scottoiler and luggage.
    If I keep them them for spares, cos Id kick myself if I sold a piece then needed it later, then it makes no sense to have the expensive items sitting in the loft.
    :)

    My new to me ST was my best purchase this year, best bike I’ve ever owned and I’ve really gelled with it. It just seems to fit me like a glove and has a perfect balance of low weight and plenty of accessible power.

    The other two good purchases this year have been a pair of RST heated gloves, (wish I’d bought a pair years ago) and a Schuberth R2 helmet with their integrated SC1 Bluetooth kit, so an expensive year but it’s all improved the experience.

    I've got a Neotec 2.
    It is noisy but not much worse than my Arai which is supposedly quiet, I always wear earplugs anyway so it doesn't make any difference to me.
    It'll be a good winter crash helmet as it's very warm, but the flip side :)D) is it's a bit too warm in the summer, the ventilation on my Arai works a lot better than Shoei's version.
    I've got the integrated Sena intercom in it and that works a treat.

    It's a hard decision. Be between my new gimp suit or the waterboard kit I bought at the ex-MOD auction . Both were cheap due to water damage !!!

    Cordless pole hedge trimmer. I can, well, trim the hedges so much quicker now giving me more time to ride the bike.

    Not as much £ as most, but my best purchase was some mtp goretex overtrousers. All of £19.99, but worth every penny when out riding through the rain.
