    I stopped at hour ago to get some more oil for my bike and look for another set of gloves, maybe even a spare set of goggles since Sam ate my last spare pair.

    I walked out with a air filter, oil filter and a new Troy Lee helmet :P I got a good deal on the top of the line ’09’ Troy Lee helmet so made a snap purchase (there have been a few of those recently!).

    It fits real nice and I like the way the liner removes, much better than my current One Industries helmet. The good thing is now I have a spare helmet for when I have guests to come and play on the smoker and also I don’t have to wear the helmet I had a ‘reasonable’ crash in :)

    Don’t you just hate that – all those nice goodies that are out screaming “buy me” when you walk into a bike shop.

    I take it Sam is still enjoying eating your stuff Moto :blush:

    Sam hasn’t eaten anything of note in ages, my spare goggles were however one of his first victims when he was explaining to me that he din’t like sleeping in the garage :P

    I still need some spare goggles, I need them so my old man can borrow them when he comes out too so unfortunately it does mean another trip back! :ohmy:

    I was also told that the new Berg comes in exactly the same colour as this years model and that the black decals are a kit that you have to buy :) They have also gone up by 4% too, making the 570 $15,500 on the road! That’s a good chunk of cash for a dirtbike.

    He offered me a ride of it a while ago but I declined. If I swing a leg over one I’ll end up with 2 bikes in the garage :P

    I was just browsing the new helmets and this one caught my eye, when I saw the $600 price tag I baulked just at the time he came over to see what i was doing. He said he’d do me a deal and I though he’ll take 10% off or something, I joked and said if he does a real keen deal I’ll take it and I’ll think about a Berg next year. He cam up with $440 so I took it off him, I was pretty happy with that :P

    tld helmets are light, breezy and fit my mug like a glove. bit like not wearing a helmet. unfortunatly because they are bit like not wearing a helmet they are also noisey. i suggest that you to wear ear plugs when you are on the 4t

    Will see how it goes. It doesn’t feel any lighter than my other helmet, in fact, now I’ve gotten over my impulse buy it’s hard to see why I paid so much for a helmet :ohmy:

    I dunno Moto, it sounds like a good price for a good qualiy helmet to me. I usually try to keep my budget for a helmet under $400 but I go more on the fit than the price.

    We have had a dealer close in Dubbo lately (Suzuki) – went under. I usually tend to buy online lately because most of the shops I go in to lately have a pretty small range on the floor and are hopeless at ordering stuff in. You should count your lucky stars you have a good dealer close to you!

    You city folk dunno how good ya got it! :laugh:

    man its not just in newcastle…

    i walked in to the local kato dealer this arvo, to get an airbox wash cover and a spark plug.
    i walked out with the wash cover……and a set of tag cushion grips…and a bar pad.

    they didnt have a spark plug ????
    so i went into the local suzuki dealer, with is my favoured shop in the area.

    i walked out with the spark plug…..

    and a shiny new set of riding gear, TLD grand prix, in orange and blue

    :dry: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
