    I decided to get a new neck brace ;)

    Sam has a Leatt and says it fits comfortably with his Zac Zpeed armour B)

    So I decided on one the same as his, however they now have an updated model so I went with that :)

    I did some research on the web, found some prices both local and OS and decided a local mob’s web price was good enough so off I went to their shop to give them my hard earned cash :)

    I approached the shop guy and said my bit, he didn’t have any in stock and his shop price was his shop price and web price his web price, a difference of $40 however they charge $25 for postage :(

    No worries I thought $15 is still cheaper and I’d save on fuel not having to come back B)

    Just to check I rang another local dealer and his price was $10 less than the first guys shop price.

    I had to pass Rick Andrews on my way home so I dropped in there. The guy rang the supplier as they had none in the shop and gave me a price $31 less than the web price from the first shop :woohoo:

    I ordered it B)

    Went and picked it up this morning and he gave me another $49 off for cash :woohoo: :woohoo:

    Shop 1 has lost me as a customer for ever and Rick Andrews will get a call every time I need some accessories.

    And to top it all off I got to test it today with a mid week ride B) and no dust :woohoo: and just a few light showers of rain, perfect conditions :woohoo:

    I thought gouging was what you did to your bikes plastics every time you ride it!
