Cheap Motorcycle Gear @ Lidl

Just got back from Lidl who have quite a bit of motorcycle gear & accessories for ridiculously cheap prices.

Bike covers, boots, jackets, trousers, helmets, first aid kits, knee warmers, hoods, intercoms, disk locks & other stuff

Not known makes, but might help someone who's biking on a budget :dance:
I may be shy, but that doesn't make me an angel ;)

    I just bought a jacket and protective trousers, £50 and £40 respectively.

    Sizes are European - I'm 5'11", 34" waist, and "large" 52/54 fits well, in case this helps anyone.

    Thanks OP, a good deal.

    They have helmets there too, but £20 / £25 for a helmet doesn't seem right (!), and they were out of Large full face helmets anyway.
    But the banks are made of marble,
    With a guard at every door,
    And the vaults are stuffed with silver,
    That the farmer sweated for.

    Buying cheap helmets can cost you your life.

    Obviously this doesn't apply to socks and bike covers which are usually very good value.
  • Thanks peggydoodaa. I went today and got a helmet, gloves, boots and spine guard. The helmet meets ECE-R 22.05 and it is from Germany.
