    No worries mate

    I need it back before next weekend as I'm back to work Sunday so will let you know

    On a lighter note my new lid just came and I'm well pleased

    That bikers bargains are spot on. £285 for a brand new x spirit and next day delivery

    It's not even been out the box before. I thought it must be ex display but you can tell it's never been opened. Well chuffed

    Just to add my bit on the corsa 3's

    I had them for 20 miles before the rear let go with no warning on my R1, cost me £1500 to fix but it was low speed 10 - 15 mph coming out of a junction (very carefully) just squeezed on the power then I hit the deck (eventually) !

    My tyres seemed to be oozing the releasing agent very visably once I got a chance to have a look.

    I would never use these tyres ever again, I am sure they where the only reason I fell off that day, if it was my fault i would be the first to admit it.

    Good thing tyres have moved on so much recently.

    also

    Love the new Lid :) I have a kato memorial x-spirit and it is the best helmet I have ever owned :) the fit is spot on

    I'm sure that Biker's Bargains logo is the same as M&P or MPS or something.

    It's not a million miles off the M&P one.

    Jamie, I have the kato lid the one before he died, blue black and red with the arrow on. Fantastic lid and that's the one I've dropped and scraped!! Totally gutted. Am going to see about an xspirit2 maybe when the nec comes around.

    You can see my lid in the cadwell pics.

    I scratched the chin area on my kato lid (made the mistake of turning my head to see what the bike was doing) when I came off only about the size of a 20p peice, I went to a local model shop and bought some airfix paints and touched it up, you can only notice if you look close up now:)

    I loved the origional kato lid but the memorial lid is awesome, I need a new lid soon will do the same as you I think, just dont know what graphics to go for next ?

    I wanted the Kato one but could only find XL. They're hard to find new now.

    I got the email regarding arlen ness sale but my suit is fine other than a few scuffs which it had anyway. Leathers without scars look a bit odd to me!

    Regarding the corsa III being slippy, I've never bad a problem in the past with them.

    Also when racing I would go thru maybe 20+ rear tyres a year and have never had an issue scrubbing a tyre in.

    This one was unbelievable how quick/unexpected it let go.

    I actually didn't think it was a big moment at first and thought I caught it but it just kept on sliding. Literally bolt upright on steady throttle at about 20mph.

    If I was acting a tit or made a mistake I could understand it but it's bloody annoying that this happenEd and I 100% believe I couldn't have done anything different that day.



    Good news is I'm getting it back on Thursday next week! Can't wait

    Hey flatstick bet you can't wait eh, if I could get another kato lid I'd have it , none of the currant shoeis are as nice IMO . My daughters just bought the same one you just got from bikers bargains, it's a cracking price and looks really good. I got a good deal at custom lids on a tomizawa xspirit 2 so pick it up Tuesday or Wednesday .
